GIS and TPK invest $ 310 million in production of OLED 3D Touch panels for iPhone 8
Companies TPK Holding and General Interface Solution (GIS) have long been responsible for the supply of touch panels for the iPhone. According to DigiTimes, at present both companies are preparing to start production of new touch-panels for the new flagship iPhone, which is due out this year.
For this, TPK Holding and General Interface Solution (GIS) reportedly allocated more than $ 150 and $ 160 million for the expansion of production, respectively.
According to the source, the touch panel for the AMOLED display, which will be used in the new iPhone smartphone, will cost more than $ 15, whereas the current-generation sensor costs about $ 9. The reason is that manufacturers have to apply a more complex technological process.
It is known that Apple is testing "numerous" prototypes of the iPhone 8, experimenting with screen technologies and materials. Some models use LCD displays, while others use AMOLED. Among the test samples, there are also versions without the traditional Home button under the screen. As the materials of the case are used both aluminum and glass, there is even a variant with white ceramics.
According to informed sources, the announcement of the radically new iPhone will be held simultaneously with the updated iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus at a special event in September, but sales of the premium smartphone will start noticeably later than the younger models.
According to some sources, Apple may call the flagship premium smartphone iPhone 2017 not the iPhone 8, but the iPhone Edition, similar to the Apple Watch Edition.
