Apple plans to launch three new iPhones in the second half of 2020, including two that support 5G technology, including two models with a 5.4-inch and 6.7-inch high-resolution OLED screen. In a new report published by famous analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. That report aligns with a previous report DigiTimes published a few months ago.
In a research note obtained by MacRumors yesterday, Ming-Chi Kuo said that the 5.4-inch and 6.7-inch models will support 5G technology, while the 6.1-inch model (the successor to the XR) will still support the current LTE technology. It is also expected that Qualcomm will be the main supplier of 5G modems, after reaching a settlement between the two companies in the issues between them last April, in addition to Broadcom company that will design an electronic amplifier to increase the signal strength of iPhones. -Phone 5G that is manufactured by Win-semi.
Kuo believes that by 2021 all new iPhones will support 5G technology. It is also believed that Apple will have its own 5G modem by 2022-2023, which reduces its dependence on Qualcomm.
The new sizes of 5.4 inches and 6.7 inches indicate that Apple may plan to reduce the size of the current iPhone X by 5.8 inches, a move that fans of smaller phones may appreciate, and it will work to increase the size of the current screen of the iPhone XS Max. While iPhone XR will still measure 6.1 inches.
It is said that Apple is intensifying its efforts to provide 5G technology under the ban based on Huawei technology, so as not to lag far behind its rival Samsung.
It is worth noting that, earlier on Monday, a Reuters report said that US chip makers such as Qualcomm and Intel are quietly pressing the US government to ease the ban on Huawei, because Huawei is buying from them an estimated $ 11 billion out of $ 70 billion. It spends on components from other American companies.
