Thicker glass, a pricier implementation of 3D Touch and more of this in 2019 are in the cards with the latest rumors for the mid-range iPhone of this year.
Samsung made more money between January and March 2018 than ever before, specifically around $14.5 billion in operating profit, but no thanks to the iPhone X.
One 2018 iPhone could be simply called the iPhone, with no numbers or additional letters, while the iPhone X's OLED sequels are expected to carry iPhone X and X Plus branding.
One 2018 iPhone could be "aggressively" priced in the "$799 range", according to Rosenblatt analyst Jun Zhang, while the refreshed OLED 5.8-incher is expected to look pretty much the same as the X. That 6.5-incher could bring some "slightly unusual" features to the table.
We know iPhone X demand has badly declined in recent months, but we never expected production to be halted so fast. For good. That's probably not the case, but what if it is?
Apple will reportedly need to rely exclusively on Samsung for OLED iPhone screen production this year as well, as LG is not yet ready to join the supply fold.
The price strategy rumor goes against the market consensus around $700+. The white whale that is a dual-SIM iPhone may price above a single-SIM LCD iPhone.
Taiwanese supply chain sources are calling for an affordable iPhone (at up to $800 starting price) lead the charts this year and a triple-camera iPhone next year.

Just in case you were wondering, that super-premium Porsche Design Huawei Mate RS sports a beautiful OLED screen manufactured by LG, which marks the beginning of the two companies' partnership.
Apple may have bigger and bolder plans than previously anticipated for its in-house microLED screen technology, now rumored to make a commercial debut by the end of 2019.
The LG G7 is expected to use M + LCD screen technology, a Snapdragon 845 SoC and 6GB RAM, also sporting a notch and "AI switch" in mid-May, when domestic sales should kick off.
No matter what Apple calls them, more people will be getting something looking like this year's iPhone X in the coming dozens of months. And they'll pay for it.
Apple may have settled on a three-iPhone 2018 release strategy with a $700+ LCD model, a 5.8-inch iPhone X follow-up priced at $899, and an OLED 6.5-incher fetching $999.
