Apple Leak Reveals Significant iPhone Design Changes

It may have several significant problems right now, but a new leak regarding Apple AAPL -0.33%’s 2018 iPhones suggests the company still has the power to surprise us... Barclays investment bank analysts Andrew Gardiner, Hiral Patel, Joseph Wolf and Blayne Curtis claim Apple’s new iPhone line-up will look very different to what we have today. “Based on several data points within the 4Q17 reporting period and our supply chain meetings at CES, we remain confident that Apple is set to deploy its TrueDepth 3D sensor across the iPhone range in 2018,” states the report. The analysts claim the range itself will be comprised of three iPhone X-based designs: a second generation iPhone X, larger iPhone X Plus and new, cheaper LCD model I dub the ‘iPhone X SE’.In addition to this, Barclays believes Apple will deliver a second generation TrueDepth sensor (part of the Face ID technology inside the controversial iPhone X notch), “potentially reducing in size...and improving in specificity”. The report says the Face ID will also be added to Apple’s 2018 iPad Pro refresh which is coming this summer.
