The 6.5-inch version of the iPhone X 2018 will support the Apple Pencil, the stylus used to interact with the iPad. IPhone X in arrives in late September
The presentation of the iPhone X 2018 is approaching and rumors are increasing. The latest in chronological order come from the research company TrendForce, which carried out a study on the impact that the new Apple smartphone could have on the market.
In addition to data on the number of iPhone X 2018 that Apple could sell, the research company also anticipates some features of the smartphone, which are in addition to those already released in recent months. The most interesting news concerns the support for the Apple Pencil for the 6.5-inch iPhone X 2018. If the news is confirmed, it would be a very important novelty and that would clarify Apple’s strategy: to attack Samsung. In fact, support for the Apple Pencil would turn the 6.5-inch iPhone X 2018 into the snarky challenger to the Galaxy Note 9, the only smartphone so far to support the use of a stylus (the SPen).
Three versions of the 2018 iPhone X confirmed
Another confirmation that comes from TrendForce’s research is the presence of as many as three models of the 2018 iPhone X: there will be a low-cost version with an LCD screen and two premium models with an OLED screen (one with a 5.8-inch display and the other with a 6.5-inch panel). According to TrendForce experts, Apple would bet a lot on the low-cost version of the 2018 iPhone X, so much so that it wants to produce more than 40 million copies, 50% of 2018-2019 production.
The prices of the 2018 iPhone X
The TrendForce report also gives us an idea about the launch price of the new 2018 iPhone X models: the model with an LCD screen should cost between $699 and $749, for the version with a 5.8-inch screen you will have to shell out between $899 and $949, while the version with a 6.5-inch OLED screen should start at $999. Of the latter model should also be produced a version with 512GB of internal memory (with the price that will easily exceed $ 1200). In Italy, the smartphones could come in at around fifty euros more than the dollar price.
When will the iPhone X be released
According to TrendForce, production of the 2018 iPhone X has already started. The two OLED models were the first to go into production, while the LCD model will have to wait a few more weeks. The presentation of the devices is expected to take place in mid-September, while the arrival on the market is expected between late September and early October.
