Apple is planning to launch a 6.3-inch iPhone with same screen as iPhone X

A new report from Nikkei suggests Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) will manufacture three new iPhones next year, including a 6.3-inch iPhone with an OLED screen. Apple's $999 iPhone X switched from a traditional LCD panel to a more premium OLED screen, which is more colorful, brighter and energy efficient. Apple continued to use LCD panels on the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. Nikkei said Apple will launch 6.3-inch and 5.8-inch iPhone variants with OLED technology, in addition to a 6.1-inch model with a traditional LCD display. The iPhone X has a 5.8-inch screen, so the 6.3-inch model would be a good deal larger. Nikkei added that the LCD model will have a metal back, which suggests it might not pack newer technologies such as wireless charging. Apple switched to glass panels on the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X this year to support that feature. Apple was not immediately available for comment. Read the full report from Nikkei.
