Thanks for the clarification about its being an OLED display. I looked it up, and although I can't begin to explain all the technicalities, it sounds even better, and worth waiting for it to come to the cheaper models. Arnold Schmidt Sent from Arnold's iPhone On Sep 24, 2017, at 11:53 AM,

Note, we're talking about an OLED display here and not an LED display. I can see where a blind person would be interested in a phone with an OLED display. The lower power consumption may mean a longer battery life or maybe a smaller phone, and I can see where a blind person would appreciate t

I definitely won't be buying the 10. I will keep this one for another model or two, unless I find a 256 gig iPhone 7 at a good price between now and then. If I am going to have to be paying almost 900 dollars for the 256 gig iPhone 8, I will wait until the modern display makes it to the cheaper

OK. I understand about the display being more efficient. But the battery is also smaller probably, the phone is smaller after all. So, better to find out what real world battery results are before you assume that the iPhone ex will actually give you better battery life. You're certainly going t

I have no useable vision, so my wanting to wait until the LED display comes to the cheaper models has nothing to do with that. But an LED display is much more efficient dan an LCD. The crystals in a liquid crystal display are always on, when the screen is active, even if they aren't being used a

Mary makes some excellent points. If I was upgrading from the 6 I'd consider factors like CPU speed, and weather I wanted the tested method of Touch Id, or jump right in to Face ID. The display would be one of the last things I'd consider. Just to give some context I'm totally blind with ve

Hi Arnold, Are you totally blind? If so, or if you're not, but really don't have usable vision, of what possible interest could the type of display be to you? You can obviously do what you want, since it is your phone and your money. But I can't imagine, as a blind person, making my decision re

I had planned to buy the 8, but I am going to skip it, and keep my IPhone 6, which still works fine and, if I keep it that long will upgrade again at least once, maybe twice. My first reason is that the 8 uses an LCD display, while the 10 uses an LED display. LED is the future, LCD, nearing the
