Economic Daily News reports that the holdingTPK estimates the cost of the new 3D Touch for iPhone 8 between $ 18 and $ 22, and Apple agreed with that price. For comparison, the cost of the 3D Touch module in current iPhone models with an LCD display is between $ 7 and $ 9. The increased cost of the module is explained by the fact that the integration of the 3D Touch panel into the OLED display is a complex process that requires the application of protective layers on both sides screen before installing the 3D Touch panel. This in itself leads to an increase in the cost of all production processes by at least 50 percent.
3D Touch Touch Panel Manufacturersin current models they ask for their work from 7 to 9 dollars from each mobile device. This solution places the 3D Touch sensor directly on the LCD display of the device. At the same time, in the new iPhone design, installing a 3D Touch sensor on an OLED panel requires the use of protective glass on both sides of the fragile OLED panel in order to strengthen the latter.
TPK holding has already officially certifiedThe installation process for the 3D Touch in an OLED screen. It is assumed that this particular manufacturer will become Apple's favorite, having received most of the orders.
