http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2016/04/iPhone-4-back-glass-250x143.jpgTaiwanese manufacturer Foxconn is developing glass casings and OLED displays for smartphones in an attempt to secure orders for the tenth-anniversary iPhone (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-8/) next year, according to Japanese website Nikkei (http://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Companies/Foxconn-develops-glass-casing-as-iPhone-redesign-expected).
The report claims Foxconn has been developing glass chassis for at least one year, and developing its own OLED display tech**logies through its Sharp acquisition (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/04/06/foxconn-oled-displays-via-sharp/). It would be competing with Samsung, and China's Biel Crystal and Lens Tech**logy, to win orders.
KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ming-chi-kuo/) said Apple will switch to **n-aluminum casing (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/04/17/iphone-glass-casing-amoled-2017/), with glass being the most likely candidate, for the majority of new iPhone models in 2017. Kuo and multiple (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/04/14/apple-samsung-oled-panels-2017/) other (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/03/02/apple-planning-to-debut-oled-iphone-in-2017/) sources (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/03/26/kuo-iphone-2017-oled-curved-glass/) also expect next year's iPhone to have a thinner and lighter OLED display in a move away from LCDs. Earlier reports said Samsung would be a primary supplier of OLED panels for future iPhones.
Samsung's Galaxy S7 sets the benchmark (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/02/23/galaxy-s7-best-smartphone-display-oled/) for OLED-based smartphones, and makes a strong case for Apple's rumored shift towards the display tech**logy. iPhones have used various LCD display tech**logies since the original model launched in 2007, but OLED panels are often thinner, brighter, and more energy efficient than their LCD counterparts. The tech**logy, however, can be more expensive to produce.
Apple's tenth-anniversary iPhone is shaping up to be a significant upgrade, compared to the relatively incremental refresh expected from this year's iPhone 7 (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-7/). The rumored switch to glass casing and OLED display will mark the first major overhaul of Apple's smartphone since the iPhone 6 (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-6/) launched in late 2014, given that this year's iPhone is expected to retain an iPhone 6s (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-6s/)-like design.
