Regardless of how many iPhones are released, the entire iPhone lineup is expected to use OLED displays and 5G technology.<blockquote>"The 2H20 lineup will include all OLED phones, with screen sizes of 5.4″ (one model), 6.1″ (two), and 6.7″ (one), broadening the screen size range from 5.8″ to 6.5″ in 2019. We expect the two higher end models (one 6.1″, one 6.7″) to include mmWave support, triple camera and World facing 3D sensing, while the lower-end models (one 6.1″, one 5.4″) will include support for only sub-6 GHz and dual camera (no World-facing 3D sensing)."</blockquote>Two of the higher-end iPhones will be equipped with new rear camera technology with "world-facing" 3D sensing for improved augmented reality capabilities, while the others will use dual-lens setups similar to the <a href=\"https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-11/\">iPhone 11</a>.\n<br>\n<br>\nThere could also be a split between the type of 5G connectivity offered by each iPhone. The two higher-end iPhones could offer support for the fastest 5G technology, mmWave, while the two lower-end iPhones may be limited to the sub-6GHz spectrum, which is not as speedy but has a wider range.\n<br>\n<br>\nmmWave 5G technology will likely be limited to major cities and dense urban areas because of its short range, while 5G networks in rural and suburban areas will use the slower sub-6GHz technology, such as <a href=\"https://www.macrumors.com/2019/12/02/tmobile-launches-5g-network/\">the 600MHz network</a> T-Mobile is rolling out.\n<br>\n<br>\nRumors have suggested Apple is going to use Qualcomm's X55 modems in all of its 2020 iPhones, and while those modems do support both mmWave and sub-6GHz spectrum, an additional mmWave antenna is needed for mmWave support.\n<br>\n<br>\nTo make the lower-end iPhones more affordable, Apple could potentially limit the mmWave antenna to higher-end models, though prior rumors have suggested Apple's aim with its 2020 iPhones is to match the technology in more affordable 5G Android smartphones, which do support mmWave.\n<br>\n<br>\nStarting in 2021, Chatterjee believes Apple will make some significant changes to its iPhone release cycles. "Based on our supply chain checks, we are expecting a strategic change in the launch cadence with the release of two new iPhone models in 1H21 followed by another two in 2H21, which will serve to smooth seasonality around the launch," he wrote.\n<br>\n<br>\nReleasing two iPhones during the first half of 2021 and two iPhones during the second half of 2021 could allow Apple to better compete with rival smartphone companies that introduce new devices throughout the year and limit "product cycle missteps" by allowing for designs to be altered more quickly in response to market feedback.\n<br>\n<br>\nApple has been launching new iPhones in the fall since 2011, and the note from Chatterjee provides little additional information on the potential split if Apple does pursue a new launch timeline.\n<br>\n<br>\nApple could release lower-end devices earlier in the year and then save its higher-end launches for the fall, but Chatterjee's current prediction would see Apple releasing four iPhones in September 2020 and then two additional iPhones in the first half of 2021, for a total of six iPhones within six months, which seems like a bit of a stretch.<br><br><div>Related Roundup: <a href=\"https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-12/\">iPhone 12</a></div><br>This article, "<a href=\"https://www.macrumors.com/2019/12/02/2020-four-iphone-lineup-analyst-prediction/\">Analyst: Apple to Release Four iPhones in Fall 2020 With 5G Connectivity and OLED Displays</a>" first appeared on <a href=\"https://www.macrumors.com\">MacRumors.com</a><br><br><a href=\"https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/analyst-apple-to-release-four-iphones-in-fall-2020-with-5g-connectivity-and-oled-displays.2214095/\">Discuss this article</a> in our forums<br><br><div>\n<a href=\"http://feeds.macrumors.com/~ff/MacRumors-All?a=0GDKP3mcnIc:AaeR0e3_wn0:6W8y8wAjSf4\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MacRumors-All?d=6W8y8wAjSf4\"></a> <a href=\"http://feeds.macrumors.com/~ff/MacRumors-All?a=0GDKP3mcnIc:AaeR0e3_wn0:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MacRumors-All?d=qj6IDK7rITs\"></a>\n</div><img width=\"1\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MacRumors-All/~4/0GDKP3mcnIc\" height=\"1\">","direction":"ltr"},"alternate":[{"href":"https://www.macrumors.com/2019/12/02/2020-four-iphone-lineup-analyst-prediction/","type":"text/html"}],"crawled":1575314741429,"published":1575312344000,"origin":{"streamId":"feed/http://feeds.macrumors.com/MacRumors-All","title":"MacRumors: Mac News and Rumors - All Stories","htmlUrl":"https://www.macrumors.com"},"unread":true,"categories":[{"id":"user/c665fbfb-36e1-485a-918b-90d91f2ebd01/category/da60a29f-94ba-4856-b64f-2830d9859ee8","label":"Mac"}]}]} |
