Apple's "secret" facility in Taiwan

Slate has an article by Max Slater-Robins (which originally appeared on Business Insider), about the latest from Apple:

Apple has opened a secret research facility in Taiwan with the view of making the iPhone and iPad screens better, according to Bloomberg.
The facility, which Apple has not publicly discussed, has reportedly hired ex-Qualcomm and AU Optronics employees to work on developing more advanced versions of the iPhone, iPad, and Macintosh displays. The company is also investigating OLED technology.
The move is two-pronged: on one side, iPhone, iPad, and Macintosh users get a better, more efficient display. On the other, Apple reduces its reliance on Samsung, Sharp, and other big manufacturers.
Apple recently spent eighteen million dollars on a small chip plant in the US that would help reduce the company's reliance on its chip-making partners, which also includes Samsung. The company has also been advertising for multiple roles related to screen technology on LinkedIn.
Apple has always focused on the thinness and lightness of the iPhone and iPad, something screen technology could help with. The iPhone 6S is just over seven millimeters thick, according to Apple. The company will likely be looking to reduce that with the iPhone 7.
