Conventional acumen suggests that Apple would accouter the iPhone 4G with a college resolution display, possibly alike an OLED display, like the one on the Nexus One. But I accept affidavit to accept that neither would happen. Acquiesce me to explain.
First I'll explain why I anticipate Apple won't bang up the affectation resolution on the iPhone. The acumen is simple: apps.
The iPhone currently has 150,000 applications for it on the App Store, all advised to assignment for one resolution: 320 x 480. If tomorrow Apple introduces an iPhone with a college affectation resolution, all the accepted apps would accept to calibration to fit the college resolution display, aloof like they currently do on the iPad. They will work, but they won't attending good.
But that's aloof one issue. What about applications that will be created afterwards the iPhone 4G if a college resolution affectation is released? The developers will again accept to address apps that would assignment on the new as able-bodied as the old low resolution iPhones and iPod touches. They cannot avoid the new ones because college pixels would let them do a lot of absorbing UI changes and they cannot avoid the earlier ones because there are millions of them out there. This will be alarming for developers and I agnosticism Apple would acquiesce this to happen.
Also, an access in resolution will necessitate changes in the UI and basically the OS itself. And aback the iPod blow runs the aforementioned OS, it will accept to be accustomed the resolution bang as able-bodied or abroad Apple would accept to accumulate alive on two OSes simultaneously, which they wouldn't appetite to. Additionally an access in resolution would additionally necessitate an access in admeasurement of the device, which somehow I agnosticism Apple would do. So all in all, it seems to me that an access in awning resolution seems unlikely, at atomic for now.
But does this beggarly the iPhone will never get a college resolution display? Who know, maybe it will, if Apple manages to break the aloft mentioned problems somehow.
Now I'll explain the OLED allotment of the argument. Now this time I don't accept any solid affidavit to aback it up but aloof a gut activity that says "they won't do it". I'm not adage that Apple hates OLED or anything. It's aloof that they don't acquisition it advantageous abundant appropriate now, aloof like Blu-ray. Plus they are heavily into the LED-backlit LCD panels now and their latest attraction is with IPS technology. I agnosticism they would use IPS technology on the iPhone as it wouldn't accomplish abundant faculty but what I agnosticism alike added is Apple application OLED on the iPhone or on annihilation for that amount for the accountable future.
Long adventure short, we anticipate the iPhone 4G ability aloof action appealing abundant the aforementioned affectation as the accepted model. However, you can apprehend accessory improvements. It's not as if the affectation on the accepted iPhone is at the acme of LCD technology and performance, and it can absolutely be bigger added after adopting any new technology.
