The iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max have propelled the stock of Apple a bit seeing as there will be a lot of picky mobile phone owners aiming to get hold of the latest flagships. But like in the past, most fast-forward to the future and wonder what changes lie in the next batch expected to come out in 2019.
The Cupertino company has been notorious when it comes to coming out with successors to their models. They have been hit for lagging in the technology side although that has not kept mobile phone owners from still getting the latest iPhone model for their own.
One reason why most are eager to see the next batch of iPhone XS models is that the pricing for the old ones would do down (a bit). However, the number of folks who do own the iPhone XS or iPhone XS max may end up sticking to what they have right now if the revelation of renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is to be believed.
According to him, Apple is unlikely to make major changes to the current line of iPhones. Through a chart he shared, the next batch of phones will continue to sport the same screen sizes, Forbes said.
For those who have religiously followed the practice of Apple, this is fairly similar to the lineup they had for 2018. This includes a 5.8- and 6.5-inch model for the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max while the 6.1-inch iPhone XR rounds up the cast, Mac Rumors said.
This scoffs the belief that Apple may come out with iPhones with new screen sizes. However, the case may be different in terms of internal specs. The next batch could come out with better A13 chips, possibly a triple-lens camera or even a better front-facing selfie shooter. While all these are possible, it would be best to consider them as rumors until something credible comes out.
The attention right now is on the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR. The latter is seen as the wise buy for folks who are limited in budget while those who plan to invest big need to make sure they have at least $1,000 (iPhone XS) or $1,100 (iPhone XS Max) ready. Do take note that these starting prices are only for the base models.
The prices could dwindle by 2019, especially once word of the next batch of iPhones come out. On whether the lower price would make them reasonable to buy remains to be seen - entirely depending on how good Apple is able to market and arm the iPhone successors.
