- One of the most reliable Apple analysts in the game is predicting big things for the iPhone X design in 2018.
- According to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple will release an iPhone X Plus next year with the biggest smartphone screen the company has ever made.
- Kuo says Apple will release three iPhones in 2018 with a notch design. There will supposedly be a 5.8-inch (updated X) and a 6.5-inch model, both with OLED displays.
- The third iPhone will supposedly have a 6.1-inch LCD display but come with the same bezel-free design as the iPhone X.
