Apple is not adopting AMOLED display technology for future generations of iPhone, According to the most trustable Analyst  Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI securities. Kuo says Apple will still use TFT LCD display technology for next generations of iPhone, AMOLED display is not coming for at least next three years. 

Hon Hai's Foxconn is preparing to invest a lot of money in advanced TFT-LCD display production lines in China for mass production in 2018 to fulfil manufacturer's demand. iPhone backlit supplier company Minebea also preparing for next generation of iPhone indicating that No AMOLED display is coming and Kuo also stated that Apple will still make iPhones with TFT-LCD displays.

DigiTimes few weeks ago reported that Samsung may supply some OLED displays to Apple for testing purpose for future iPhones. Previously a rumor hit the web saying iPhone with AMOLED display could hit the market in 2017 and Apple is already using the OLED display in Apple Watch.

But Kuo says There is no evidence hinting at AMOLED or OLED based iPhones in future. AMOLED display has more brighter colors and the displays are more efficient than LCDs in terms of power saving and displaying blacks.

Do you want AMOLED in you next iPhone?

Apple is already using the OLED display for Apple Watch, Samsung could get orders for larger OLED displays for next-generation iPhone.

Apple is currently testing the OLED displays for next-generation and integration depends upon the results.

According to the report, Samsung shipped first samples of OLED displays for testing which hints Apple is planning to integrate Samsung's OLED curved Displays in future iPhones, may be in iPhone 7.
Apple is not ready to fit the OLED curved display in next iPhone but making their mind to integrate. Although Samsung's Super AMOLED display is the best display in the market.

There is no surprise Samsung is trying to become display supplier for Apple because earlier this year Apple Watch OLED display deal of LG and Apple was done in estimated 1.4 Trillion alone for twenty fifteen. Samsung trying its best to get as much production as it can get from Apple.

Samsung is swallowing all manufacturer's business about which other manufacturer are worried.
I think it will be great and everyone out there love Samsung's display.

I am sure you also want this in iPhone 7

Benchmarks showed there is not a noticeable difference in the performance of these two different A9 chips but today some Battery testing  benchmarks suggested that iPhone Units with TSMC's chip have significantly better battery life.

Following the news, Youtube start recieving videos with battery tests between TSMC's and Samsung's Chip.

A video from Austin Evans compared Same two iPhone 6s, one having Samsung's chip and one with TSMC's Chip, Set both iPhone on same settings and performed a Geekbench 3 test on 50 percent of battery remaining, he discovered that iPhone with TSMC's chip lasted 50 minutes more than the iPhone containing Samsung's chip and the iPhone with Samsung's chip remain hotter while the test.



The Youtuber though test both iPhone in routine usage like watching Youtube videos and stuff like that and at the end between battery life there was only difference of 1 percent. But while heavy usage he noticed TSMC comes out on the top.

Another Youtuber performed some tests by same settings and ran a 30 minute time-lapse, After the result, the iPhone 6s with Samsung was down to 84 percent while iPhone with TSMC's Chip was at 89 percent. While recording 10 minutes of 4K and importing it to iMovie, At the end iPhone with Samsung's chip was at 55 percent while the iPhone containing TSMC's chip was at 62 percent.



At the conclusion, there is a difference between both iPhones having different chips, but in real life result are not that noticeable but there is a difference of nearly 22 percent in battery life between devices running Samsung's and TSMC's chip.

Update: Apple claims the difference between Samsung's chip and TSMC's chip in battery comparison is only 2-3 percent in real life. The test done continuously to check the difference are unrealistic.

So, which Chip your iPhone have ?

Thus there was a sort of befuddlement over how the split would work, because the both companies Samsung and TSMC used different technologies. Samsung was said to manufacture chips through the 14-nanometer process while on the other hand TSMC was rumored to be using the 16-nanometer process. 

After doing numerous teardowns of the iPhone 6s the folks at Chipworks have confirmed that the devices do have chips from both TSMC and Samsung for sure.  For comparison, the die size of TSMC processor is fairly larger than the die size of the processor made by Samsung. 

The chipset "APL0898"made by Samsung measures in at 96 square millimetres, while the chipset" APL1022" measures in at 104.5 square millimetres which manufactured by TSMC. 

Moreover, Apple took the decision of sourcing chipsets from both TSMC and Samsung due to "major sourcing problems", says Chipworks. Apple has adopted several policies to for the prevention of manufacturing issue that can lead to delays. 

Yet we are not sure that whether the difference in the size of chipsets will affect the performance of iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. But thankfully,  Chipworks has already planned to test out if there is a difference of performance in both chipsets from Samsung and TSMC. 

Apple is trying to deal with Samsung to provide Flash Storage for Next generation of iPhones, Currently Apple is taking Flash storage from Toshiba, SK hynix and SanDisk. The report indicates that Apple is also planning to increase storage capacity for its next iPhone.

As Apple is currently offering 16GB, 64GB and 128GB iPhone models, Todays report hints that Apple could finally kill the 16GB model and could add 32GB model in the lineup as a entry level model and According to this report Apple is also planning to add a model that will have more memory then 128GB that could be 256GB or less but more then 128GB.

Currently both companies are negotiating over price and shipment, Samsung is also testing its chips for durability and stability, Apple used have storage from Samsung but due to price concerns deal was ended, But Apple is again efforting to reach to a deal.

Few months ago Apple Dealed with Samsung for providing A9 chips for iPhone, But in past few years Apple start taking chips from TSMC due to issues in companies.

Do You want an iPhone with more then 128GB Storage ?

Apple's devices with A9 chip are even not announced, but Chip Makers started rushing for orders of  Apple's A10 processor, The chip which is expected to be fitted in iPhone 7 in the end of 2016.

As TSMC was close to lose A9 order that's why the are working hard and investing without wastage of time and bringing equipments to make Apple satisfied with A9 chips so they can get orders of A10 chips in future.

To get orders, they have to set up a 10nm Pilot lane at 12 different factories in Hsinchu, which is expected to be completed by the end of the June. Semiconductor intellectual property program is also started by the company and they are already advertising its services to potentials clients by the end of the year.

They are several reasons show TSMC will try its best to impress Apple, but luckly last time they get order from Apple while Samsung was in opposition. Now Samsung appears to be  sucking more Apple's chip orders.

Earlier it was reported that Samsung took has taken all orders of Apple, but Foxconn Terry Gou influenced Apple to give some orders to the TSMC, Seems like Taiwanese wanted to work together to overcome the growing threat of Samsung.

It has been observed that Samsung will not make effort to get A10 chip orders from Apple as its the case of very important iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.

Apple Watch launch on 24 April from that day several people and Organizations started testing it some done Scratch, Drop and water test but some teared it down like iFixit and ABI Researcher and they Understand the complex inner work of the Apple Watch and detailed us from battery capacity to the makers of the even small parts of the Apple Watch.

The report showed last week told a little deep about Apple Watch's S1 chip which Pay the main role in the working of Apple Watch consist a 512MB of RAM, an Accelerometer/Gyrometer from STMicroelectronics, A Broadcom Wi-Fi chip and today further investigation revealed 30 individual component in 26mm x 28mm S1 package, and its a quite accomplishment.



" Apple and/or their suppliers have designed and manufactured a 26 mm x 28 mm package that is very unique. Let's consider its construction for a moment. We have a common motherboard to which all of the components (wafer scale packages, PoPs, BGAs, etc.) have been attached. The entire motherboard, with all of its components, is then overmolded with a packaging compound containing silica or alumina spheres suspended in a resin. We see this same type of material in conventional IC packaging, but we have never observed this being used over a 26 mm x 28 mm motherboard."

The interesting discovery in the chip work is the manufacturing process of APL0778 application processor (CPU/GPU) on the S1. It was made with Samsung's 28 nanometer LP process, which, as Ars Technica points out, is no longer a modern way. The last 28-Nano meter process was used in iPhone 5S but the latest iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are made with 20-Nanometer process.

The 28-Nanometer process point that the Apple will use the Cutting Edge Technology in its newer model and that will be overwhelming  and there could be so much improvement in upcoming model. We heard some rumor related to Apple Watch as it will use Health sensor in upcoming Model that will track Oxygen in blood, Blood pressure and stress level.

We have also heard that there is no upcoming model until 2016.

Thoughts on 28nm process ?

On Wednesday Samsung reported net profit of 4.63 trillion won (4.35 billion) for the first quarter which is from January to March. That is approximately 39% drop from it's last year's quarter net profit of 7.39 trillion. Most of the profit drop comes from the Samsung Mobile Division which reported 2.74 trillion won ($2.5 billion) in the first quarter of 2015 versus 6.43 trillion won in the first quarter of 2014. 

Samsung reported year-over-year profit loss but Samsung earning release also announced quarter-over-quarter improvement and Samsung mobile division also reported increased sales of middle-end smartphones including smartphones from the Galaxy A series. Samsung hasn't yet reported it's smartphone sales but according to analysts Samsung sold 83.2 million smartphones during the first quarter of 2015 versus Apple sold 61.2 million iPhones.

Samsung continued to hold the title of the world's largest smartphones maker due the high number of sales. But most of the sales were from low-end smartphones not from from the high-end ones, causing year-over-year profit drop. Some analyst believe that Samsung's profit loss is due to introduction of Apple iPhone 6 and the Apple 6 Plus with more larger display. Apple made a very smart move by introducing iPhones with larger screen size, and Apple has got successful in capturing those customer who were looking for bigger screen smartphones. 

Samsung is expecting increase profits during the second quarter probably because of the global launch of the company's new flagships the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung S6 Edge and the company has also told that the demand for the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge is pretty high but due to limited supplies it will have limited sales.
