A new supply chain report guarantees that Apple is planning to utilize OLED for each iPhone model by 2019, with the company anticipated that would embrace OLED boards for 60 million units of the iPhone 8 later in 2017, likening to around 40 percent of its manufacturing run (via The Bell) [Google Translate]. Apple will double the adoption of OLED panels for the 2018 iPhone before completely migrating over to OLED-only models for 2019. A similar report claimed that both Samsung and Inteflex are at present intending up creation for adaptable printed circuit boards (FPCB) during the current year's iPhone 8, with Samsung particularly starting an extension of its Electro-Mechanics plant in Vietnam to represent the expanded Apple supply quota this year. For the 2017 iPhone line, Apple is relied upon to stay with LCD panels for two of the iPhones - right now alluded to as the "iPhone 7s" and "iPhone 7s Plus" - while making the "iPhone 8" its first-ever forever cell phone to incorporate an OLED screen. Today's supply chain report said that Apple will utilize three suppliers to produce OLED panels, and orders for each will be decided and placed when production is started around April or May.

Apple iOS 10.3 Release Has Two Great Secret Features

iOS 10.2.1 has been a menace. It has both presented new bugs and aggravated existing ones, which has put a great deal of weight on iOS 10.3. In any case, so far signs are Apple AAPL - 0.60%'s next real release may very well convey… 'Incredible Secret Features' and 'Nasty Surprises' are my regular columns investigating operating system updates for the best components/most serious issues taken cover behind the features. While iOS 10.3 delivers a large group of new features (counting Apple ID profiles, Find My AirPods and significant upgrades to CarPlay, iCloud storage and HomeKit), it also has several secret features. One, upgraded WiFi Calling for Verizon customers, was uncovered not long ago yet now another bird looked at client has spotted greater changes. Developer Steven Troughton-Smith took to Twitter to uncover shrouded code in iOS 10.3 presents two completely new iPad keyboards. Showing off his discoveries using Simulator, the first is a gesture-based keyboard where swiping left or right on any key enables backspace/space while the latter is a compact floating keyboard which can be dragged wherever you need. Regardless of whether some of this functionality could come to iPhones is obscure (adding the gesture support would make sense - similar functionality is already on Google’s Gboard), but for now the keyboards only work on iPads which are 9.7-inches or smaller. So even the iPad Pro 12.9 is left out. In case you're a developer and need to give them a shot you can discover them by swizzling UIKeyboardPreferencesController's - boolForPreferenceKey Troughton-Smith likewise tosses in another fascinating curveball: these keyboards appear to have been in development for some time. He says code for the two can be traced back to iOS 10.0 which launched in September 2016. When will these keyboards arrive in final form? March would make sense as that is when Apple is widely expected to launch new iPads. That aside Apple has never been on the cutting edge of touchscreen keyboard development, so it would be nice to see progress here. Original article could be found at Forbes.com
