Like last year, there are going to be three new iPhone models introduced later in 2018 and all of them are going to have a bezel-less design. One other similarity is that all three models are going to be using the Apple A12 chipset made using the 7nm technology from TSMC.
There will be lots of benefits to using newer technology in the 2018 iPhone lineup and with mass production started by Apple, it does not appear like a delay in the launch of the newer models is going to show up in the middle of this progress.
With Apple having started working on the mass production phase, TSMC earlier promised that its 7nm technology will be able to show at least 20% better performance as compared to the 10nm process and up to 40% energy efficiency. The A12 might also be smaller, faster and will consume less power thanks to the latest advancements undertaken by TSMC.
As a result, if the new iPhones possess the same batteries as the models that were released last year, they will still be able to show better battery endurance for the buyer. Apps will also open up much faster thanks to the improved performance of the chip and overall performance will be noticeable.
Most of us already know that there are going to be three brand new models that Apple will be announced during the month of September. One of them will be the iPhone X Plus, the second one will be an iPhone X successor, and the third model is going to be that iPhone to feature a bezel-less display, but instead of an OLED, it will come shipped with an LCD screen for a cheaper price.
The iPhone X Plus will be the biggest phone that Apple has ever produced and it is going to be the same size as the iPhone 8 Plus according to rumors. Though it might have a massive screen, it should still be easier for people to carry who have slightly larger palms.
The iPhone X successor is expected to feature the same 5.8-inch display as the iPhone X model that was released in 2017. Several reports have repeatedly said that component orders are going to be in check this time, so there should be no delay when it comes to a proper release of all three models. Apple has also been reported to price these phones in the same manner as the iPhone X so you will need to spend more money again if you will be upgrading.
The 6.4-inch OLED iPhone X Plus, with some rumors claiming that the screen size could go up to 6.5 inches will retail for $1,099 (unofficial price of Rs. 75,204.57). The smaller 5.8-inch OLED version will retail for $999 (unofficial price of Rs. 68,361.57), and the 6.1-inch model with LCD technology will be sold for $750 (unofficial price of Rs. 51,322.50).
The announcement of all three models will take place during the month of September, with Apple putting them officially on sale in the following week because component shortages might not happen this time as it did during the iPhone X launch. In India, the launch of the three new iPhone models is going to take place after September 2018.
The advantage for buyers is that after the iPhone X Plus, iPhone X successor and the iPhone 9 are officially put on sale in India, the models released in 2017 will become cheaper. Apple promises software updates for iPhones longer than any Android competitor, so even if you get a model released in 2017, you will get to experience the best features from upcoming software releases.
