Apple plans to release three new iPhones in the second half of 2020, including high-end 5.4-inch and 6.7-inch models with OLED displays and a lower-end 6.1-inch model with an OLED display, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Those display sizes line up with a DigiTimes report from a few months ago.
In a research note shared with Chinese media outlets today, Kuo said the 5.4-inch and 6.7-inch models will support 5G, while the 6.1-inch model will support up to LTE.
The new 5.4-inch and 6.7-inch sizes suggest that Apple may be planning to shrink the size of the current 5.8-inch iPhone XS, a move that fans of smaller phones would certainly appreciate, while increasing the size of the current 6.5-inch iPhone XS Max. The iPhone XR would remain a 6.1-inch device.
MacDailyNews Take: Those 5G units are going to start an upgrade avalanche! Hopefully, Apple will have plenty of those 5G units ready to go at launch for Christmas 2020.
A wider variance of display sizes will work well for sales, too, as those who prefer smaller iPhones will likely enjoy the 5.4-inch model which, without a Home button chin, will be smaller physically than it sounds.
With an upgrade avalanche will help AAPL get back to trillion dollars and beyond.
Forget the display sizes, tell us about the notch.
Well I am totally disappointed. You’d think Apple would be able to make 4, 4.7, 5.5, and 6.5 inch screens. At the same time, with current chipsets.
I strongly suspect Apple is attempting to force 4” iPhone lovers to the Stupid Watch, which does only a small fraction of what a real smartphone can do. Apple doesn’t think it’s important to have a phone that fits comfortably in a pocket, they want your Apple gadget out in front of your nose at all times. Screw them. I am beginning to wish there was a viable 3rd OS player in the smartphone market. Waiting for Apple to deliver the hardware one wants is ridiculous.
