If you wish your iPhone's screen was curvier or its battery lasted longer, take note: Apple is planning to use OLED technology in iPhone screens as early as 2017, according to AppleInsider, which cites Japan's Nikkei.

Why OLED screens? They're thinner and lighter than the LCD displays in current iPhones, which means the iPhone 7s (or whatever Apple decides to name its 2017 iPhone) could last longer on a single charge.

Apple competitor Samsung already uses the technology in its mobile devices, including the recently announced Galaxy S7. In fact, the Korean company has several years of OLED experience under its belt, including curved TVs. LG also uses OLEDs in its phones, including some that are curved.

Nikkei reports that Apple is in talks with LG and and Samsung to produce OLED displays for the iPhone, and has also notified industry associations that it plans to move ahead with the technology.

The Apple Watch uses an AMOLED display to eke out extra life from a tiny battery. But its battery life still suffers in comparison to the Pebble Time, which uses an e-ink display.

OLED iPhone rumors are not new, but most of them pegged the launch at 2018 or later. A 2017 unveiling wouldn't give Apple enough time to develop curved handsets, since those designs require several years of testing, according to AppleInsider.

Rushing the development of the new display might be a strategic push to boost sagging smartphone sales, which declined for the first time last quarter.
