The new low-cost iPhone will only be one of three models that are expected to come out this fall. Apple is also expected to launch an updated version of the iPhone X as well as a super-sized iPhone X.

But the cheapest of the three new phones is expected to be the best-selling, according to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. It could account for 65% to 75% of iPhones sold this upcoming cycle, he said in a note earlier this week.

One reason why it could be less expensive than the iPhone X is because it uses a less advanced screen. It's said to use an LCD screen, instead of the OLED screen on the iPhone X. OLED screens use less power and have better colors.

Supply chain sources have said the new iPhone will have a 6.1-inch screen, which is bigger than the screens on the iPhone X and the iPhone 8 Plus.

The new low-end iPhone may also support a feature Asian users have been asking for a while: two SIM card slots, so you can easily switch between carriers or data plans. There could also be a single-SIM model, according to KGI Securities.

The double-SIM model will likely be more expensive. "If the [double-SIM] model sells for US$650-750, the single-SIM model may sell for US$550-650," Kuo wrote in a note seen earlier this week.

Other specs haven't been rumored, but you can expect the low-end iPhone to have a new Apple chip, and a powerful rear camera as well — although it may not have the double-lens design on the iPhone X and iPhone 8 Plus, because Apple usually leaves those features off of its less expensive iPhones.

But while Apple is exploring a low-cost phone, it is also expected to launch a super-sized iPhone X with a 6.5-inch screen. Some analysts believe this unit could start at $1,100 or more.

Apple never talks about future products, but we'll probably learn in September. Apple has launched new iPhones in that month for the last six years.

By
Photo : Google Apple  will be releasing its next-generation iPhone later this year, however, this hasn’t stopped leaks from popping up online. Two new leaks have surfaced online, one is claiming to reveal an official render of the upcoming 2019 iPhone while the other one is an image of an assembly component that was stolen from Apple’s supply chain. Both of the leaks have been posted on Weibo. The new iPhone 11 image render once again confirms that the upcoming Apple iPhone 11 will feature a triple camera setup on the back in a triangle configuration. The image also shows off its Black and White colour options. In the other leak, we get to see an image of an assembly part, which was apparently stolen from the Foxconn factory. To recall, we saw schematics of the same part leaked by SlashLeaks a few days ago. The part consists of a large cut-out to house the camera setup.
