http://wccftech.com/iphone-8-high-price-due-to-oled-pricing/ >Apple’s rumored $900 starting price of the iPhone 8 has always been a popular topic to touch. Where some analysts claim it is due to a number of components running in the device, a different perspective from a different analyst shows that the high price is due to just a single component, the OLED screen. With Samsung being the sole supplier of such panels, the tech giant will command a higher asking price, thus forcing Apple to exponentially increase the price of the iPhone 8 in order to maintain healthy margins. >Ming-Chi Kuo issued a note to investors on Wednesday, noting that Samsung currently holds a commanding bargaining position over Apple since it is the sole supplier of OLED panels for the iPhone 8 and possibly future devices. According to Kuo, he suspects that Samsung is charging Apple between $120 and $130 per display component. He also says that the price is much higher compared to the LCD screen that Apple was paying for the 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus, which was in the $45 to $55 range.
