Until Apple does not find a better OLED display manufacturer, it will continue to use Samsung displays on both the iPhones.Also, it has been reported that Pegatron’s subsidiary Casetek, the manufacturer of display casings has been, reportedly, testing on an LCD display. But it is not known who would be assembling the iPhone.However, none of the sources have reportedly commented on the rumours.There have been no rumours about facial recognition or Face ID for facial unlock, which became the buzzword during iPhone X release. Ming-Chi Kuo has predicted that Apple would manufacture three iPhone X forms of iPhones in comparative sizes in 2018.In other news, reportedly there has been a deficit in the supply of iPhoneX with the increasing demand of the tenth-anniversary edition of the smartphone. It was also reported that Foxconn Technology, the assembler of iPhone X, was making its underage interns assemble the phones. The Cupertino-based smartphone maker acknowledged the violation of labour laws in China.
