  • The Korea Herald reports that Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) 2018 lineup of iPhones could include a larger LCD model measuring over 6 inches with the panel coming from Japan Display.
  • The new device joins the previously rumored 5.8-inch and 6.46-inch OLED models with panels supplied by Samsung (KS:005930).
  • Apple likely won’t switch to all OLED panels until 2019, which is when LG should have the production capacity to help minimize Apple’s dependence on Samsung.
  • In current iPhone sales news, a KGI Securities analyst believes pre-orders for the iPhone X could pass 50M units.
  • Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo notes that the X is the first complete form factor revamp since 2016 and could prompt a “super cycle.”
  • Kuo expects Apple to ramp up iPhone X output in late October but doesn’t think demand will match supply until next year.
  • The iPhone X pre-orders start October 27 and the device launches on November 3.
  • Previously: Apple slows iPhone X supplier orders; soft initial sales for iPhone 8 models (Sept. 25)
