Let me tell you something about the 2018 craw of iPhones : Apple ’s gon na deal a bazillion of them ! Why am I talking about next year ’s iPhones , when most people have n’t had the chance to set centre on the flashy $ 1000 iPhone X that just came out ? Because KGI Securities is already looking forward to next year ’s card . OK , so you want to talk 2018 iPhones ? allow ’s spill the beans 2018 iPhones .
According to KGI psychoanalyst extraordinaire Ming - Chi Kuo , 2018 will see the launching of three iPhones : a 5.8 - inch model with an OLED display similar to the iPhone X , a supersized 6.5 - inch iPhone X XL - like model also with an OLED cover , and a “ lower ” price 6.1 - column inch iPhone with an LCD screen . All three phones look to have bezeless designs along with Apple ’s novel Face ID tech that debuted on the iPhone X , including the much maligned detector notch .

The two organic light-emitting diode models are said to target the “ high - end ” market , while the lone LCD - fit out iPhone will be aim at “ middle to downcast - death markets ” with a forebode price between $ 649 and $ 749 . Mid - mountain range does n’t signify what it used to I guess .
And while it ’s easy to be skeptical , specially this early on , Ming - Chi Kuo is the guy who order Apple would ditch Touch ID all for the 10th day of remembrance iPhoneback in July , and he was right ( along with a gang of other position - on forecasts ) . And since Apple ’s SVP of ironware engineer Dan Riccio has said that the iPhone X’sfinal design was “ locked”a year forrader of their release , it ’s not impossible that Kuo might acknowledge what ’s up already . So until we have more to go on , this is the best glimpse at what Apple might launch next fall .
However , I still want to baulk at sure thing , especially that huge 6.5 - inch iPhone , which would easy be Apple ’s biggest iPhone yet , and noticeably larger than borderline gawky phones like the6.3 - column inch Galaxy Note 8 . Kuo ’s predictions also seem to confirm what many have surmise : the death of Touch ID is coming in 2018 — at least at the top of Apple ’s line .
The one thing this story does n’t mention though is what Apple plans to do with the iPhone SE . Based on recent account , the SE is due for a refresh this spring , and with the fall 2018 iPhones going all big and bezeless , Apple ’s remain small speech sound could be an even more significant part of the company ’s overall portfolio .
So there . Has this information made your smartphone purchasing conclusion for this yr easier , or are you going to take hold out and see if these predictions come true ? Welcome to the non - stop Apple news cps . I hope you ’re happy .
