This jump is linked to Apple retooling the iPhone manufacturing process to include OLED screens in the fall of 2017.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3029451/hardware/iphone-7-rumors-its-all-about-the-camera.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
