iPhone 11, iPhone XI or iPhone X2: What’s new 2018 iPhone?

In 2018, Apple is planning to continue on with its iPhone lineup, introducing three new iPhones. The first is said to be a second-generation version of the iPhone X, with the same 5.8-inch OLED display, while the second can be thought of as an “iPhone X Plus” with a larger 6.5-inch OLED display.

Comparatively, the 5.8 and 6.5-inch OLED iPhones are expected to continue to offer dual-lens rear cameras and they may include 4GB RAM. The larger model will, of course, support a larger battery for longer battery life, and it could include dual-SIM support for easier carrier switching and a new gold color option.

2018 iPhone Naming

Here’s Apple’s past naming:

2007 – iPhone

– iPhone 2008 – iPhone 3G

– iPhone 3G 2009 – iPhone 3GS

– iPhone 3GS 2010 – iPhone 4 (new design)

– iPhone 4 (new design) 2011 – iPhone 4s

– iPhone 4s 2012 – iPhone 5 (new design)

– iPhone 5 (new design) 2013 – iPhone 5s

– iPhone 5s 2014 – iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus (new design)

– iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus (new design) 2015 – iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus

– iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus 2016 – iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus

– iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus 2017 – iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X (new design)

2018 could mark the year that the iPhone gets an entirely new naming scheme, but we won’t know for sure what Apple’s plans are until we start hearing additional rumors about the new devices.

Apple is said to be sourcing the majority of its OLED displays for the 2018 iPhone lineup from Samsung, but LG Display could provide displays for the 6.5-inch OLED iPhone, and Apple could also tap Sharp and Japan Display for extra supply.

We won’t know any concrete details on the 2018 iPhone, or iPhones, until they officially launch because while there are always plenty of leaks and speculation regarding Apple devices, Apple is better than some companies at keeping final details under wraps.

With that in mind, you’ll need to keep your expectations under control when reading about the rumours as more often than not, they turn out to be the stuff of dreams rather than reality.

BATTERY TECHNOLOGY

Current rumors suggest Apple will continue to use a two-cell L-shaped design for the batteries in the 5.8 and 6.5-inch iPhones coming in 2018.

PART LEAKS

iPhone part leaks often start months ahead of when a new iPhone is released, and it’s no different with the 2018 iPhone lineup.

A flex cable at the bottom of the part includes a number that’s similar to the format used by Apple, so it’s certainly possible this is a legitimate leak. It also allegedly comes from LG Display in Vietnam, and LG Display is rumored to be a supplier for the larger OLED iPhone coming in 2018
