Reportedly, while the 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch variants feature an LCD TFT display, and the bigger variant, for the first time, will sport an AMOLED panel supplied by Samsung Display.

According to the same report, Apple is estimated to ship around 60-70 million iPhone units with AMOLED display in 2017. The report also cites that Nissha Printing, a Japanese firm will supply touch sensors to use in tandem with AMOLED panels and the integration part of these two will be undertaken either by Samsung Display or Taiwan-based TPK Holding and General Interface Solution.
