FORGET 7S PLUS. THIS MAY BE THE NEXT iPHONE TO BE PRODUCED



Apple (AAPL)'s suppliers dropped hints that the iPhone is moving away from the "numbered" cycle, and toward an iPhone Pro, according to a new research note released this week.
Apple is likely to join the shift toward organic LED (OLED) smartphone screens, a Pacific Crest supply-chain check revealed to CNBC on Thursday. That, combined with an all-glass casing, could signal enough an overhaul that the iPhone 7s Plus might merit a more emotive name, like iPhone Pro, wrote the authors of the note.

"We do not believe the majority of consumers care enough about OLED, in and of itself, to drive a significant change in iPhone upgrade rates or share gains," wrote Pacific Crest.

"However, Apple's potential transition to OLED seems likely to accompany a broader change to the form factor to a glass enclosure from metal."

Organic LEDs lights, or OLEDs seemed to be "aggressively" popular when technology analysts at Pacific Crest visited some major electronic display makers this week. The OLED lights, which have recently become more cost-effective, would enable phones to have thinner, curved edges, a better color gamut and longer battery life, according to Pacific Crest.
