From apple; thank you to Samsung and LG for your innovation of OLED screen for iphone x, even though your tvs and phones had OLED screen years before us.

Perhaps they should thank Samsung for the higher screen resolution; after all, they design and manufacture the OLED screens. Original ones were supplied by Sharp, so it is definitely a lot better now that they're coming from Samsung.
