According to the latest reports from the
reliable analystMing-Chi
Kuofrom KGI Securities, Apple would plan three new iPhones this year,
a 6.1-inch LCD model, and two OLED models in 5.8 and 6.5 inches.

6.5 inches, and no 5.8 inch model, and also a
successor to the iPhone SE in the first half.
Regarding the iPhone SE, DigiTimes forecasts corroborateother rumorson this model

wireless charging, moreno 3D Touch.
DigiTimes claims that the Apple firm has tested several iPhone designs
for 2018, a 5.8-inch LCD model, a 6.1-inch LCD model, an OLED model
6.1 inches and a 6.4 inch OLED model, and which Apple would have finally opted for
for a single OLED model with a larger screen size.

LCD in 5.8 and 6.1 inches, and an iPhone with screenOLED of a
6.5 inch size, however DigiTimes underlines that the firm of
