INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
the official release date.The timing for the new iPhone 2018 shouldn't surprise anyone
Apple's smartphone-focused keynotes routinely take place in early September
That's news for noone.We also have another two telltale signs that we're reaching an iPhone X sequel
The Product Red iPhone 8 and iOS 11.3 just launched, signaling the mid-lifecycle for both Apple's phone hardware and software.When will
the iPhone X2 launch What new features will it have And will it still have a notch
Let's investigate what we expect from Apple in 2018.Cut to the chaseWhat is it Apple's next flagshipWhen is it out Probably around
2018.More specifically, based on past launches it will probably be announced one or two weeks into September
X2.While the iPhone X took longer to reach shop shelves, that was rumored to be down to delays in producing components, so unless Apple
wishes to artificially hold back the new X - possibly to create demand - chances are the iPhone XI will appear in September 2018.Indeed,
it's rumored that Apple might begin trial production of the iPhone XI in the second quarter of 2018, which is earlier than usual and said
Whether this cheaper handset will be the iPhone X2, the iPhone 9 or something else is unknown though.We've also heard that Apple has managed
to reduce the cost of some components by 10% - a saving which might be passed on to buyers.iPhone XI news and rumorsThere might be not one
iPhone XI but two, with several rumors suggesting that Apple has a pair of OLED screen phones in the works.We first heard about them back
before even the iPhone X had launched, with the earliest rumors saying that one would be 5.85 inches and the other 6.46 inches, sizes that
have since been echoed.More recently, noted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has said similar, claiming that there will be two OLED iPhones with
launch OLED phones in 5.8 and 6.3-inch sizes, along with a third 6.1-inch phone which will have an LCD screen and a metal back (rather than
glass).None of the phones are named but the LCD-shod handset will presumably be cheaper and likely follow the design of the iPhone 8.And
Ming-Chi Kuo has since come back with additional details on these phones, claiming that the iPhone XI will come in 5.8 and 6.5-inch sizes,
so there's not total agreement on the size just yet.Apple could launch these three phones this year

5.8-inch one will apparently be 458ppi.Both phones will apparently have dual-lens cameras, stainless steel frames and 4GB of RAM, and are
said to land alongside a cheaper 6.1-inch handset - which might be the iPhone 9.Kuo also claims the 5.8-inch model may have a roughly 10%
larger battery than the iPhone X, while the 6.5-inch model might have a battery of around 3,300/3,400mAh, which would be roughly a 25% size
increase.And he's said separately that Apple will probably exclusively use Intel modems for 2018's models, rather than splitting the
order between Intel and Qualcomm.Beyond all that we can assume that the design of the iPhone X2 will be probably be similar to that of the
Indeed, the picture below supposedly shows the screen of the larger model, which looks similar to the style of the iPhone X.This might be a
display panel for the largest iPhone XI model
the iPhone XI we have a good idea of what we want from it and the following things top our list.1
A lower priceArguably the biggest problem with the iPhone X is simply that it costs so very much
Apple could lower the price at least a little for the iPhone XI.However, let's be realistic: it's not going to happen
to certain elements will mean - at best - price parity to 2017's phone can be achieved.2
An improved cameraThe iPhone X has a very good camera, but it could always be betterThe iPhone X has a great camera, but we didn't find it
to deliver the most jaw-dropping snaps, so there are ways in which it could definitely be improved.Low light performance, while an upgrade
Brighter HDR shots would be appreciated too, and how about a pro mode for people who want more control over their camera3
well as making it easier to use when on a desk.5
In-screen Touch IDGiven that Apple has gone all-in with Face ID on the iPhone X and ditched Touch ID this is probably a long shot, but there
are those who prefer a fingerprint scanner, and having one built into the screen would be ideal.Rumors of such a feature have surrounded
It gives Apple time to polish the tech, and the company has always seemed more interested in being the best than the first
Again though, the company is probably going to focus on improving Face ID instead, which is easier to use than Touch ID anyway.6
Two screen sizesOne size doesn't fit all, so with the iPhone XI hopefully it won't have toAlthough three different size iPhone handsets were
developed in different sizes.So far it sounds like Apple will be going bigger with one of them, rather than smaller, so fans of the iPhone 8
might still be out of luck, but if you want a truly powerful Apple phablet then 2018 could be your year.7
Dual front-facing speakersThe iPhone X already has stereo speakers, but one of them fires downwards, whereas for the iPhone X2 we want them
both to face forward so the sound comes towards you when watching videos and playing games.If Apple can also improve the speaker quality
The iPhone X already impresses in that regard, but the Razer Phone has shown that more is possible.We're also expecting an iPad Pro 3 in the
coming monthsCVNTyFTNGjpBqwKg84KiZQ.jpg#
