For 2018, Apple would launch three iPhone X, including a model "more affordable" with an LCD screen

IPhone X is now launched, it is time for analysts to resume their favorite activity: speculate on the features and new features of the next versions of the iPhone. And for the KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, there is no doubt that Apple is already preparing a second generation of iPhone X, available in three devices.

According to his latest estimates, recovered by the site MacRumors, Apple would already work on three iPhone X second generation. These three devices would be separated into two ranges. The first would include an iPhone X more or less identical to this year, with a 5.8-inch OLED screen, but also an "iPhone X +", an iPhone X with a 6.5-inch screen. A simple declination in large format of the iPhone X.

An "entry or mid-range" device for next year :

More surprisingly, Ming-Chi Kuo thinks that Apple will come out, in his words, "a device targeting the entry and mid-range markets." Apple would it plan to release an iPhone under the bar of 500 euros? That nay. According to the analyst, it would be a smartphone equipped with an LCD screen, "which will be very different from OLED models in terms of hardware and technical characteristics" and which would be sold in a price range between 649 and $ 749. Yes, at Apple, "entry and mid-range" is when the price of a device starts at half-SMIC.

From side to side for everyone :

Anyway, all the iPhone next year, whether they are equipped with an OLED screen or not, would adopt an edge-to-edge design with a large screen and Face ID. Which will mean that they will all have the famous "notch", the notch embedding front photo sensors front.

Obviously, these three devices, if they are well planned, should not come out before September 2018. By then, there is still plenty of time to hear about the next iPhone and their supposed features and components.
