Super screens such as the AMOLED and iPad display have been in short supply as of late due to intense demand from consumers. The AMOLED screen heralded by many as the latest and greatest in smartphone viewing technology has been so popular that the makers of the screen (Samsung and LG) have found it harder to keep up supply.

The ever-increasing popular phone manufacturer HTC has been hit hard by the news. Having to opt to switch for something called a ‘super’ TFT LCD screen which will be implemented in to their new batches of HTC Desire, Droid Incredible, and Google Nexus One.

Will the screen be good enough to dampen any perceived loss in quality? Well HTC said in its statement that the new SLCD display technology “offers an exceptional natural balanced colour, clear contrast, broad viewing angles and improved power efficiency”, and that it offers “a comparable visual experience to HTC’s current 3.7-inch displays”.

In truth there really isn’t too much to separate these two screens in terms of quality, both have slight advantages in certain areas and either way you are assured of some of the best picture quality out there. So how does the AMOLED shortage affect Apple? Well It doesn’t! Apple seemed to steer clear of AMOLED’s for this exact reason. Instead they proudly parade there ‘retina display’ technology in the recently released Apple iPhone 4, which is claimed to be the most vibrant, highest-resolution phone screen ever. The problem instead lies in the iPad, the unprecedented order figures of 3.3 million since early April have meant demand for Apples latest baby has meant that supply again has been trying to play catch up.

LG who won the $500 million contract to supply the screens last year have been caught off-guard along with everybody else by the surge in demand. This has caused many tech analyst firms to reforecast there tablet sales for the year. LG’s CEO Kwon Young-Soo said he is considering increasing production of iPad displays, but that LG won’t be able to make enough until early 2011.

It is surprising that there is such demand that would cause shortages at both ends of the mobile tech spectrum, particularly by customers who aren’t usually early adopters of technology seen in the likes of the iPad and super screens. I’m sure though that the problem of being too popular is one that isn’t likely to wear thin any time soon.

It was recently announced that Apple have had their best ever quarter in terms of revenue and Mac shipments, releasing revenue figures of $15.7 billion for the last quarter.  Apple smashed both their own and Wall Street estimates making over $3 billion in profit. That’s a $6 billion growth in revenue and a solid 77 percent jump in profits when compared with the second quarter figures.

So how has Apple achieved these record breaking figures?! It’s not too hard to imagine when we take in to account these four key factors:

• Apple sold 3.47 million Macs during this quarter which again is another record, beating even the holiday seasons
• Apple sold 3.2 million iPads in it’s first ever quarter, nearly beating the record Mac sales
• The iPhone brought in high sales as usual with 8.4 million being sold. It was a little less than the second quarters 8.75 million, this is most likely due to people putting off buying the 3GS to purchase instead the Apple iPhone 4.
• Apple iPhone 4 again broke sales records and sold over 1.7 million in its first three days. Which CEO Steve Jobs heralded as the most successful product launch in Apple’s history

As these figures suggest Apple can seem to do no wrong, but it begs the question, are we really surprised? Breaking records is just business as usual for the tech giant. With the Apple iPhone 4 bound to pick up even more momentum over the rest of the year and Steve Jobs’ announcement of “amazing new products still to come” you can bet that these records won’t be round for long!

To feel the hype, and be part of the record breaking revolution yourself come and check out the one and only Apple iPhone 4.

It’s official.  The Apple  iPhone 4 is scheduled for a UK release on June 24th, as Apple’s Chief Executive Steve Job’s announced at yesterday’s Apple WWDC 2010 conference.  Other important details included that it would be available in both Black and White colour variants, with either 16GB or 32GB of internal memory.  This is quite possibly the most exciting mobile phone news of the year but what everyone was dying to know was – What’s new?
