iPhone X sequels coming with larger screens, more colors: report
MANILA -- Apple will unveil a trio of iPhones in September, all carrying over the design of 2017's iPhone X, Bloomberg reported multiple citing sources.
These include a refresh of the 5.8-inch model with the same design and upgraded internals, a 6.5-inch model and a relatively cheaper 6.1-inch model, the report said.
The 6.1-inch model will come in multiple colors and will sport an LCD screen and aluminum railings to cut costs, the report said. Leaks have hinted at a single rear camera.
The 5.8-inch and 6.5-inch models will have OLED screens, stainless steel frames and twin lenses on the back, the report said.
If the largest 2018 iPhone's screen measures 6.5 inches, it will eclipse on paper the 6.4-inch panel on Samsung's recently unveiled Galaxy Note 9.
The additional color options on the 6.1 inch model will be the first since 2013, when the iPhone 5C's plastic back came in blue, red, green, yellow and white.
Huawei, which overtook Apple in terms of sales, released phones with gradient colors this year, including the "twilight" hue on the triple-camera P20 Pro.
The 2 larger 2018 iPhones may come with dual SIM slots, the report said.
