Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo calls out Apple’s expected 2019 lineup, features

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo isn’t wrong that often, and a thoroughly-researched, recently-released note to investor describes Apple’s 2019 lineup as including the following for iPhone units:

  • A 6.5-inch OLED iPhone model
  • A 6.1-inch LCD iPhone model
  • A 5.8-inch OLED iPhone model

Kuo also states he expects the iPhone XR’s successor to be upgraded to 4GB of RAM, with all 2019 iPhone models featuring a frosted glass casing, larger batteries, the ability to wirelessly charge other devices, and new technology for indoor positioning and navigation.

Per his note:

The new 5.8″ OLED may support DSDS, and the new 6.1″ LCD may be upgraded to 4GB. All of part of the new models’ main upgrades include Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) for indoor positioning and navigation, frosted glass casing, bilateral wireless charging for charging other devices, upgraded Face ID (with a higher power flood illumination), larger batteries, and triple camera feature (wide, telephoto, and ultra-wide lens).

Kuo also says all three models will include Lightning connectors rather than USB-C and have the same notch area as current models, contradicting other rumors of smaller notches. 

As always, stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
