With prices starting at 999 US dollars or more than Rp 13.5 million, the latest iPhone X phones from Apple is not exactly cheap.
But next year, Apple reportedly will release three new iPhone models that design resembles the iPhone X, but sold at a more affordable price, range Rp 8 to 10 millions.
Prediction issued by analysts KGI Securities, Ming-Chi Kuo is known as a leaking of all information about Apple.
Kuo said Apple is preparing three new iPhone models for 2018, each with a 5.8-inch, 6.5-inch OLED screen and 6.1-inch LCD screen.
All three will carry the concept like the iPhone X, the design of bezel less (thin frame) and equipped with security system Face ID. Well, the iPhone model with 6.1-inch LCD screen will have a tag of between 649 to 749 US dollars (Rp 8.7 to 10 million).
"The selling value of models with TFT-LCD screens is probably an integrated screen full screen experience and 3D sensing at a lower price," Kuo wrote in a memorandum summarized by KompasTekno from MacRumors on Tuesday (11/14/2017).
Kuo did not specify the estimated price for the iPhone X 2018 model with a 5.8-inch and 6.5-inch OLED display.
If Kuo's prediction is accurate, then next year Apple's iPhone X product line will be expanded into three models with 5.8-inch, 6.5-inch, and 6.1-inch screen.
The 5.8 inch model has the same screen size as the iPhone X this year, while the 6.5-inch model might be referred to as "iPhone X Plus".
