Nomura: The budget iPhone (2018) will receive a 6.1-inch LCD display with a cut-out in the style of the iPhone X and a metal case in several colors
Until early 2018, there are still three weeks, and insiders are already talking about smartphones Apple this model year. This time the information came from the Japanese company Nomura, which assures that next year will be released just three new iPhone models, while all of them will receive a characteristic notch on the top of the screen in the style of the iPhone X (and hence the support of the Face ID), and the most The budget version with LCD-screen will be made in a case with a metal back panel.
Note that this information is very well combined with a number of previous leaks from KGI Securities. The new source operates the same models - update the current model of iPhone X with an OLED-screen with a diagonal of 5.8 inches, a larger version of the same smartphone iPhone X Plus with OLED-screen diagonal 6.5-inch (according to other sources - 6.2 -6.3 inches), as well as a budget iPhone with a 6.1-inch LCD screen.
Previously it was assumed that the budget model of the iPhone with a price tag of about $ 650- $ 750 will differ less productive hardware, a screen with a lower resolution and without the support of Force Touch, as well as a single main camera. Together with this, it will receive identical with the older models of the frameless design, the front camera TrueDepth and support for the identification of the face of the owner of Face ID.
Information about the metal back cover seems quite logical - this will further reduce the cost compared to the predominantly glass iPhone X, and make the budget novelty more practical.
It is also mentioned that the budget iPhone 2018 will be released in several color variations of the metal case, and for its production will meet Casetek - a subsidiary of Pegatron, and possibly also Wriston. In turn, the production of the iPhone XI and iPhone XI Plus will Foxconn, which now assembles the iPhone X.
Nomura specifically noted that the information received is valid at the moment, but final specifications of smartphones and, accordingly, orders to component manufacturers and assembly companies, will be determined by Apple approximately at the end of the first quarter or the beginning of the second quarter of 2018.
