This year’s iPhone X already uses a similar manufacturing process, but Apple will apparently expand it to the entire iPhone lineup.
KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggested that Apple will make three new iPhones next year.
Two of them will be successors to this year’s iPhone X: A new, equally-sized 5.8-inch model, and an additional, Plus-sized, 6.5-inch variant.
There will also be a third, “budget” iPhone, which will keep using LCD displays and come at 6.1-inches in size.
The iPhone X’s direct successors will use an optimised version of the L-shaped batteries inside the iPhone X, which optimise internal space.
The cheaper, LCD iPhone will stick to a less costly, traditional rectangular shape battery instead.
Famed KGI Securities analyst and Apple watcher Ming-Chi Kuo recently sent a note to investors (which we first saw via AppleInsider) in which he says he believes next year’s OLED iPhones will use newly optimised, “L-shaped” designed batteries.
