rumored to be 7s + Fancy Phone.
This year is the 10th anniversary of the iPhone so it's believed they will do something a little special instead of a S revision
If the other rumour is true the 7s will be the cheaper/smaller models.
The 8 is the high-end one.
I think they will do a "cheaper" model which would be the 7s. This old iPhone would be the high end.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Apple has pull so they will essentially be getting the tech Samsung normally reserves for their own phones vs the hand me down OLED panels Samsung gives to cheaper 3rd parties.
Yes. Their galaxy phones had it since the SII, I think.

Even the Vita had a Samsung Oled.
There's a quote I read a few years ago where a Samsung Phone employee asked a Samsung components company employee why Apple got their best stuff. The reply was essentially "you do you". Same reason why Sony's best camera sensors go to Apple. They pay the big bucks.
Samsung was the first to market with AMOLED screens for phones and tablets. They stopped their OLED television production for the time being because of yield issues.
LG is the only player in the market who successfully makes television panels. Any other OLED TVs you see on the market currently are using an LG panel.
I'm gonna keep an eye on stock ticker OLED today...Universal Display Corporation owns all of the patents and sells OLED materials to Samsung and LG. Might make a huge jump today.

Samsung is the largest OLED manufacturer in the world due to mobile.
Oh wow...that'll be a trip. I always associated the s with speed.
The Verge's Iphone 7s review: 10/10 Best iPhone to date.
The Verge's Iphone 8 review: 11/10 Better than the best. The bestest.

Nice hopefully this helps Samsung get their OLED process cheaper and cheaper. I'm ready for them to compete with LG for OLED TV's too. I'm already in their phone ecosystem and TV. But I want me a damn 120hz native (input @ 120hz) TV that's OLED.
But yea Apple has been far behind on screens. I won't go back to non OLED for my phone.

They sold 210 million iPhones in the last year, so this could still be a long term contract to supply premium iPhones.
Mobile devices and television screens are two different animals apparently.

I hope those rumours of it going back to a glass design are true as well, iPhone 4 is the GOAT in terms of design.

You go Tim.
Cook, speaking at an investor conference hosted by Goldman Sachs in San Francisco today, called the color saturation of OLED (organic light-emitting diode) displays "awful."
"If you ever buy anything online and really want to know what he color is, as many people do, you should really think twice before you depend on the color from an OLED display," Cook said.

They did a deal a few years back because Samsung owns some patents on LCDs that (presumably) could be used to go after LG.
But I imagine LG has some patents to do with manufacturing them on a TV scale because no one else is currently doing that.
iPhone 7 was already technically 6SS, so they were due for something more different anyway.
At least they have the Nintendo Switch contract, that is a really good display.

Well I hope Sharp get the deal as the second suppler, since Foxconn spent so much money on it.

Really excited for this upcoming iPhone. Still on the original 6 so I know it will be a nice upgrade.
Rumor is that both the 7S and the monster iPhone will release this year. I don't know what that means for their current lineup (like, will SE and 7 both become "entry level" and they have four on the market?).

I hope it's pentile.
I expected them to just drop the numbering completely, just have a family of iPhones like they do their other product lines.
Although until the design is consistent across all the models they might stick with it for another year and just call this one the Anniversary Edition.
I wonder if anything has changed since he said that in February, 2013? Nah.
No biggie, Switch will sell 200M.
