The latest rumors on the next iPhones: yes, not just one (or two)!
How many new iPhones will Apple launch?
It’s been just months since the iPhone X was launched and they’re already rumors about the next batch of phones!
Rise of the new design
So far, the rumor mill is going for 3 or at most 4 iPhones being released by Apple this year. There’s still no clear names so for now, let’s go with:
- 5.8” OLED display – iPhone X (2nd gen)
- 6.5” OLED display – the iPhone X Plus
- 6.1” TFT-LCD – iPhone X SE
- 4.0” display – iPhone SE 2
Of the 4 phones, the iPhone SE 2 is the most uncertain if it sees the light of day this 2018. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo report that should this push through, we’ll mostly just see internal updates like a faster processor. If ever, a hardware change that we might see is a glass back for wireless charging like the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. And its release can be as early as May or June 2018.
The main reason is the California tech-giant’s focus is on the 3 other models to avoid last year’s shipment delay concerns. The iPhone X (2nd gen), iPhone X Plus and iPhone X SE are expected to be launched on September, Apple’s usual cycle on their smartphones.
We might have to say goodbye to the Touch ID as these 3 phones are said to feature the Face ID as they will be equipped with the TruDepth camera system. The iPhone X (2nd gen) and iPhone X Plus will have 4GB of RAM and made with Stainless Steel Frame Material.
The iPhone X SE will represent the affordable version of the 3, having an aluminum frame material, single lens camera and uses LCD display. But LCD display that’ll be used may only require ultra-slim 0.5mm bezels on all sides!
Excited to see the new phones?! (But not really about the rising price…)
The prices are pretty wallet-denting (with the iPhone X at the $1,000 price range), but on the bright side, you don’t have to pay a flagship price for the best protection for your devices! As promised, Tech Armor will always be here to help you out!
We’ll always have the latest (like the iPhone X) to keep your phone safe from drops and scratches.;)
