If you’re on a two-year upgrade cycle, you might want to consider skipping the iPhone 7 and waiting for next year’s model. Apple will reportedly rely on its old friend Samsung to supply it with OLED panels for upcoming iPhone models, according to a report from The Korea Herald. In a deal said to be worth north of $2.5 billion, Samsung in 2017 will begin supplying Apple with 100 million 5.5-inch OLED panels every year for a period of three years.

The 2017 start date is significant because it suggests that the iPhone will incorporate an OLED display on the iPhone 7s. Previously, it was believed that OLED panels wouldn’t make their way into Apple’s smartphone lineup until 2018 with the release of the iPhone 8.

Apple is really, really good at some things and really, really bad at others. Every company obviously has strengths and weaknesses, but Apple’s seem to be further apart on the spectrum than most companies. And somewhere on the opposite side of that spectrum from “building gorgeous smartphones” lies “App Store search,” a crucial app discovery feature that, quite frankly, couldn’t be any worse than it is right now. You can literally search for some apps by name and not find them anywhere in your results.
