Preparing for the iPhone 8? Apple's $4 billion purchase of OLED panels

Beijing time on November 9th news, according to foreign media reports, recently, JP Morgan Chase said that after a detailed analysis of Apple's 10-K file submitted to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), they found that Apple is sourcing OLED from Samsung panel.

JPMorgan Chase found that Apple’s order for the first time exceeded one year, with orders totaling about $4 billion. This is consistent with Apple's third-quarter “balance sheet”. Analysts believe that Apple's long-term purchase of OLED screens from Samsung may be preparing for its next-generation iPhone.

Analysts believe that Apple's massive purchase of OLED is for the next step. OLED technology is not as mature as LCDs, and some small impurities in manufacturing may destroy the entire screen, driving up costs.


OLED panel is used on Apple Watch

At the same time, although Samsung is now the dominant player in the OLED industry, it is not the only supplier. Earlier this year, Sharp CEO said the company would seek loans to compete for OLED screen orders for the new iPhone.

As for when Apple will officially transition to the OLED era, no one can make it clear that we may see it on the high-end version of the iPhone next year, but Apple may postpone this big move until 2019. At the moment, only the Apple Watch and the Touch Bar on the new MacBook Pro are used on the Apple product line.

In addition, Apple's 10-K file also shows that by the end of the fiscal year, the total number of Apple employees will reach 116,000, an increase of 6,000. Throughout the fiscal year 2015, Apple’s workforce grew by 17,500. At the same time, Apple's capital expenditures reached $16 billion, higher than the previous estimate of $13 billion.

Other Steel Structures

Steel Structures can be used in many industries such as foundation reinforce, electric power transmission structures and tubular scaffolding, etc.

A flange can also be a plate or ring to form a rim at the end of a pipe when fastened to the pipe. A blind flange is a plate for covering or closing the end of a pipe. A flange joint is a connection of pipes, where the connecting pieces have flanges by which the parts are bolted together.

Although the word flange generally refers to the actual raised rim or lip of a fitting, many flanged plumbing fittings are themselves known as 'flanges':

There are many different flange standards to be found worldwide. To allow easy functionality and interchangeability, these are designed to have standardised dimensions. Common world standards include ASA/ASME (USA), PN/DIN (European), BS10 (British/Australian), and JIS/KS (Japanese/Korean). In the USA, ANSI stopped publishing B16.5 in 1996, and the standard is ASME B16.5
