Apple has opened a secret lab

Journalists have discovered Apple's secret lab to develop technologies for displaying their products. The office is located in Longtan County, Taiwan.

The agency notes that the liquid crystal displays of Apple products will be improved there. Sources said that the company wants to switch to the production of organic light-emitting diodes (OLED). Such displays are thinner and do not require backlighting, and this is one of Apple’s main principles - each new generation of iPhone and iPad is slimmer and more advanced.

According to sources, the laboratory opened in April of this year. It employs about 50 employees. Prior to Apple, the building was owned by a Taiwanese display company AU Optronics and an American company that produced Qualcomm microprocessors. It is noted that Apple has already used the services of employees of these companies.

It is noteworthy that there are no Apple markings on the building. However, inside on the wall at the reception with the Apple logo is an iMac computer for registration of guests. Sources of the agency said that they saw several workers who came out with the Apple ID badges from the building to smoke. However, the staff did not answer the question from a Bloomberg journalist who rents the building. The company itself does not comment.

Apple is conducting its research in California, at its headquarters in Cupertino. Parts are manufactured at the Foxconn Technology Group and Japan Display plants. If necessary, the company can use the services of outside scientists and engineers.

As Forum wrote earlier, Apple may refuse from a standard headphone jack. Instead, there will be only a connector for charging Lightning, through which audio devices will also be connected. Apple will be the first smartphone maker to take this step.
