According to a new Digitimes (http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20170724VL203.html) report, Apple is rumored to be building a new facility to better control the production of OLED screens expected to be used in the iPhone 8 and beyond.*
Samsung, one of the Apple's biggest rivals in the industry, has thus far been tapped as the exclusive supplier (http://mashable.com/2017/04/04/apple-orders-oled-samsung/) of the new screens. That exclusivity might **t last beyond the next version of the iPhone, expected to be released later this year.*

The machineswill reportedly be used to set up a new research and development facility in Taiwan, where the company can begin working on its own line of screens. Read more...
