According to a report from industry insiders Apple
will announce three iPhones in 2020 with new screen sizes and all using OLED
panels. The screens will range from the reasonably compact 5.42-inch through
a 6.06-inch and all the way up to a 6.67-inch Max model.
The smallest will likely take the place of the
current 4.7-inch iPhone 8, the 6.06-inch model will replace the 5.8-inch iPhone
XS and the 6.67-inch will replace the 6.5-inch iPhone XS Max. If this report
proves credible it's entirely possible that the new iPhone's won't be much
bigger than the current ones as the screen size increase will be at the expense
of bezels.
We've heard differing reports concerning Apple's
planned move to OLED. Initial sources claimed an all-OLED lineup as early as
2019 but it's more likely that Apple will be ready for the move in 2020. This means that this year we'll
likely get an LCD iPhone XR successor and two OLED iPhones with a third
ultra-wide camera.
One interesting though - 2018 is the iPhone's
incremental "S" year and 2019 is expected to bring the new iPhone 11,
which would mean that Apple will bring a complete redesign of its iPhone lineup
in 2020, which would normally be an "S" year. The did once skip the S
refresh though, when it moved from the iPhone 7 to the iPhone 8 and iPhone X so
it's not going to be unprecedented if it does it again.
