We have been hearing lots of rumors about this year’s new iPhone X handsets, including the new 6.1 inch LCD iPhone X. This handset is expected to be the most affordable among the three devices, with a rumored price range between $600 and $700.
Design and Features
Previously, we heard that the design of this year’s new iPhones would be very similar to that of the existing iPhone X. Now, the design of the 6.1 inch LCD iPhone X has been leaked by a case maker. The picture above shows a render of the new LCD iPhone X in a case, confirming that the handset will have a notch at the top of the display. This notch is expected to house the front-facing camera and Face ID sensors, similar to the current iPhone X.
Additionally, the render reveals that the 6.1 inch LCD iPhone X will feature a single lens rear camera. This is a departure from the dual lens cameras found on the more expensive models, which are expected to offer enhanced photographic capabilities such as optical zoom and improved low-light performance. The single lens camera on the 6.1 inch model is likely to be a cost-saving measure, making the device more accessible to a broader audience.
Expected Launch and Software
We are expecting these three new iPhones to launch in September. This aligns with Apple’s traditional release schedule, as the company typically unveils its new iPhones in September each year. All three handsets will come with the new iOS 12 software. iOS 12 is expected to bring a host of new features and improvements, including enhanced performance, new augmented reality capabilities, and more robust parental controls.
In addition to the 6.1 inch LCD iPhone X, Apple is also rumored to be working on two other models: a 5.8 inch OLED iPhone X and a larger 6.5 inch OLED iPhone X Plus. The OLED models are expected to offer superior display quality with deeper blacks and more vibrant colors compared to the LCD model. These devices are also likely to feature dual lens rear cameras and other premium features that justify their higher price points.
The introduction of a more affordable 6.1 inch LCD iPhone X could be a strategic move by Apple to capture a larger share of the smartphone market. By offering a device with many of the same design elements and features as the more expensive models, but at a lower price point, Apple could attract budget-conscious consumers who might otherwise opt for a competitor’s device.
The 6.1 inch LCD iPhone X is shaping up to be an exciting addition to Apple’s lineup. With its familiar design, single lens rear camera, and more affordable price point, it has the potential to appeal to a wide range of consumers. As we await the official announcement in September, it will be interesting to see how this new model fits into Apple’s broader strategy and how it is received by the market.
