Pass iPhone 8 appearance unchanged antenna strip but the price is lower

Tencent digital news (water blue) there will be three iPhone debut next year, there seems to be no suspense, but the various models have what characteristics are different opinions. And now, the well-known analyst Guo Mingwei brought us the latest news in the latest report, indicating that iPhone sales in the second half of next year will reach a record 150 million units, while the 4.7-inch next-generation iPhone will use LCD display Screen and glass back cover design, and will also join the user's long-awaited wireless charging function.

New wireless charging

According to a statement made by a well-known analyst Guo Mingyao in the latest report, because the next generation iPhone will adopt a new industrial design, the next-generation iPhone for the high-end market will bring unprecedented replacement requirements, in addition to this equipment. In addition to the high-end version of the OLED display, Apple will also introduce the next-generation iPhones with 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch versions, but it still has an LCD display.

At the same time, in order to attract more consumers, Guo Minghao also said that the 4.7-inch version of the next generation of iPhone will also use the glass body design, and bring users long-awaited wireless charging function. At the same time, Apple's supplier Shuo Shu will take the 4.7-inch version of the production order, as well as responsible for the production of wireless chargers, and this wireless charger is also suitable for the 2018 iPhone.

Little change in shape

However, the fact that the 4.7-inch version mentioned in the announcement of Guo Mingxuan supports the wireless charging function may be just one of the many test programs for the next generation iPhone. Because there have been netizens posted on the news that the 4.7-inch iPhone new machine will indeed use double-sided glass design, but only supports fast charging technology, does not have wireless charging capabilities, it was said that wireless charging has not yet passed the test.

At the same time, according to the disclosure of the netizen who claimed to have seen the real machine, although the 4.7-inch version does use a double-glazed glass design, while the back of the mobile phone also removed the antenna strip, only on both sides of the fuselage to retain, but other appearances There is no major change on the whole, as for the appearance of double-sided glass can refer to the bright black version of the iPhone 7, but the edge of the metal material, and more rounded. But unfortunately, this iPhone also did not completely smooth the camera, still some raised.

Or will lower the selling price

More importantly, there is news that the 4.7-inch next-generation iPhone will become Apple's mid-range, even low-end (entry-level) models, and Apple may reduce the sale of this model with LCD display The price, thereby attracting more consumers to purchase, is said to account for 30%-35% of Apple’s new iPhone sales in FY17. The use of OLED high-end next-generation iPhone will account for 50% -55% of the sales ratio, and become the main model of Apple's iPhone next year.

As for the version still using the 5.5-inch LCD display, the price may also be reduced, and due to the 4.7-inch and OLED iPhone, positioning of this product is somewhat embarrassing. In other words, the price of the next generation of iPhone entry models may be reduced, but if you want to buy a high-end version, the price may remain the same. Of course, it is still too early to release the next generation of the iPhone. It is rumored that only prototypes will be released in March and April next year, so the rumors still have many variables.
