The Apple guru Ming-Chi Kuo has already had a similar prediction and last month claimed that the LCD iPhone would come in gold, gray, white, blue color options , red and orange. Macotakara on the other hand, predicts that the colors will be white, black, flash yellow, bright orange, electric blue and taupe – all the colors of the cases that Apple is currently badping.
There is no red in the prediction of Macotakara, which is logical since this color is usually reserved for Apple (PRODUCT) RED launches.

So says Japanese blog Macotakara, which reports that the 18W charger will come with a USB-C connection to Lightning, will not be available for purchase separately due to constraints of supply. The initial supply will only meet the needs of Apple for the 2018 iPhones, so buyers will have to wait until next year to buy the accessory.

If legitimate, images confirm that the cheap 6.1-inch LCD iPhone will not be equipped with a completely removable 5.8-inch and 6.5-inch OLED models, despite Apple's plan to to adopt new chips reducing the backlight for a full-screen design.
The leak does not give much of anything, beyond confirmation that all three models will adopt a notched design to facilitate Apple's Face ID technology.
13/7/18: Apple will adopt backlight chips for its future iPhone LCD in order to equip it with a full-screen design.
A report on Digitimes states that Apple will "exclusively" use the Japanese 0.3t LED chips from the manufacturer Nichia for its iPhone 6.1in LCD, which will equip the camera to a brightness similar to that of previous LCD models but also with the same super thin bezel as the iPhone X While the LTPS-LCD smartphone screens with backlighting using 0.4t LED chips have lower edges of 4.0- 4.5mm, the use of 0.3t LED chips can reduce them to 2.0-2.5mm, improving the competitiveness of LCDs versus OLED all (frameless displays), "says the report.
Digitimes notes that while the use of 0.3T LED chips accompanies a greater technical risk, particularly in terms of accuracy and stability, Nichia "successfully started production" in the first half of 2018.
According to earlier rumors, the Apple's LCD iPhone – which is expected to be the cheapest of the company's three incoming iPhones with a price of starting $ 700 – will be available in gray, white, blue, red and orange.
05-17-18: Apple plans to introduce up to five new color options with its iPhone 2018 line-up.
This is at least as reported by a renowned badyst Ming Chi Kuo, seen by 9to5Mac . He claims that the 6.5-inch OLED iPhone, which is expected to arrive in the form of the iPhone X Plus, will be offered in black, white and a new gold option.
The 6.1-inch entry-level LCD iPhone will be presented in greater numbers -there are gray, white, blue, red and orange flavors, according to Kuo.
As noted by 9to5Mac the reference to "gray" and "white" models could be a nod to the current Space Gray and Silver finishes of Apple, while the model red rumor could arrive in the product of Apple. (RED) – although these usually come months after launching an iPhone.
There is no word yet as to whether the successor of the iPhone X 5.8in will be offered in new color variations.
In his research note, Kuo also notes his prediction for iPhone sales. He expects the cheaper iPhone LCD to account for 55% of sales when launching new iPhones, and take even more in 2019.
He also expects to an explosion in demand and expects Apple to experience significant growth with sales of 70 million iPhones in the fourth quarter.
07/04/18: The images posted on the Chinese blog Chongdiantou claim to show the USB-C charger that will be delivered with the iPhones this year.
The images allegedly give us a glimpse of an "engineering sample" of the 18-watt USB-C charger, which should also be bundled with Apple's incoming iPads.
While the labeling seems different from the usual style of Apple – suggesting that it could be an accesory of China – the charger design corresponds to leaks earlier, suggesting that the 18W accessory would be oval and offer a USB-C input.
While the iPhone 8, 8 Plus and iPhone X all offer support for wireless charging, Apple does not currently offer the accessories to activate it. With third-party accessories, however, the USB-C fast chargers can only have a 50% empty iPhone in less than half an hour.
3/7/18: The iPhone X Plus has popped up on Geekbench, confirming that it will offer a decent upgrade under the hood.
The handset, referred to as "iPhone 11.2" in the Geekbench list first spotted by BGR will be equipped with a new six-core processor (D321AP), 4 GB of RAM (1 GB more than the iPhone X) and Apple's iOS 12 software, which puts the emphasis on performance.
The CPU mentioned above will probably be the Apple A12 chip, built by TSMC, which is expected to be the industry's first 7nm chip, – in theory, at least – offer more speed and better efficiency than the 10nm chips found in current iDevices.
This sounds true in the Geekbench scores, as the so-called 'iPhone 11.2 & # 39; broke Apple's current iPhone X flagship with a single-core score of 4673 and a multi-core score of 10,912. The iPhone X, for comparison, recorded 4206 and 10123, respectively.
07/02/18: A video showing alleged models of the iPhone 6.1 "Apple 9"; and 6.5in & # 39; iPhone X Plus & # 39; surfaced online
The video ( below ), sent to 9to5Mac by tipster @ shaimizrachi who shared accurate mannequins for iPhones in the past, shows the incoming devices duo next to the current iPhone models, including the iPhone X flagship.
The Sketch accessory manufacturer's cases are also shown in the video, suggesting have already started making drawings before an official announcement from Apple in September. Probably, at least.
The iPhone 9, as expected, seems to have a single camera on the backside, adding weight to rumors that it will be the entry-level offer of the "iPhone". Apple this year. Earlier rumors also point to a 6.1in LCD screen, with Apple opting against OLED in order to keep the handset cost down.
The iPhone X Plus seems to be the same size as the iPhone 7 Plus, despite the packaging of a larger 6.5-inch screen. Indeed, Apple has abandoned the big glbades seen on its Plus model in favor of its iPhone X design equipped with notch.
The video without audio also seems to show a dual camera configuration at the back of the hull. – Called iPhone X Plus, despite some rumors pointing to a configuration Huawei P20-esque triple camera.
The video does not show the expected OLED model of 5.8 ", but Mizrachi said that an" other surprise "was coming.
29/6 / 18: Apple allegedly roped LG to provide OLED displays for its 2018 iPhones to reduce its reliance on Samsung
South China Morning Post reports that LG Display will initially supply Apple between 2 and 4 million OLED screens, which represents a small amount compared to the number of tens of millions of iPhones that the company is likely to produce because it 'continues to work to increase its capacity. "
However, LG – who would consider opening a new OLED production plant in the Chinese port city of Guangzhou – has bigger ambitions, and apparently is looking to secure all the controls. OLED for one of Apple's 2018 iPhones, probably the 6.5in iPhone X Plus.
Such a decision would help Apple reduce its reliance on Samsung, which is currently the only supplier of screens for the iPhone X and was linked to the smartphone's € 1000 start price. However, on the other hand, LG's OLED displays have already received poor reviews – especially when it comes to the Google Pixel 2 XL mounted bork screen.
"Securing a second supplier of OLED displays is crucial for Apple as it will allow the company to reduce its reliance on Samsung, which is currently the only provider," said Jerry Kang, Senior Analyst at IHS Markit.
"At the same time, it will accelerate a wide adoption of OLED screens: more suppliers means more volume, and therefore less price."
27/6/18: Apple's According to badyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 6.1in LCD will arrive in September despite the "difficulties" in producing mbad.
In a new research note, Kuo – now of TF International Securities after leaving KGI Securities – reiterates its previous predictions the medium-sized iPhone will be a "popular option" thanks to its features similar to those of the IPhone Xa and at its lower price.
He writes that the 6.1in iPhone will feature an LCD display with an all-screen design (read: notch-equipped) similar to the one seen on the screen. iPhone X. Due to the decision to switch to the LCD, Kuo claims that the production is "more difficult" and will probably not be launched before the end of the year, but notes that the model will be ready for release in September.
And it will be cheaper than expected. Kuo says that he expects the iPhone LCD to sell for between 600 and 700 dollars (about 450 to 530 pounds sterling), even though he previously provided a starting price of $ 700 to $ 800.
This price is offered by the cheaper LCD of the phone, the removal of 3D Touch and the decision to stay with a single rear camera, Kuo notes, adding that Apple will also release an LCD phone in 2019 – despite previous speculations of a switch to a full OLED range.
The new iPhones are not the only new Apple products to be expected this year either, according to Kuo. He notes that the company will also launch a cheaper MacBook Air, iPad Pro models with Face ID and new Apple Watch models with larger screens.
22/6/18: The largest iPhone trio arriving 2018 from Apple, the iPhone X Plus, should be the most popular model.
Korean Website The Bell reports that the so-called iPhone X Plus, which should contain an OLED 6.5in display, is likely to be Apple's bestseller, with the order of more screen panels for the plus size handset than any other model.
He claims that Apple has ordered 45 million panels of 6.5 inches, against about 25 million panels for the successor of the iPhone X 5.8 inches, and 30 million LCD screens 6.04 inches for the new low-priced flagship.
The Bell notes, however, that these orders could be readjusted "based on future sales", noting that Apple has reduced its parts orders earlier this year due to a demand lower than expected for the iPhone X.
19/6/18: Chipmaker Intel began production of modem chips for Apple's next-generation iPhones.
With escalating tensions between Apple and Qualcomm, Intel is expected to provide the majority, if not all, of the modem chips for the Apple iPhone 2018.
Nikkei reports that Intel has started production of the XMM 7560 modem chips, the first chip manufacturer has produced in-house.
"XMM 7560 [modem chips are] is being rolled out … It is in the testing and mbad production phase," said Asha Keddy, vice president of technology, the systems and client architecture at Intel. 19659002] Keddy added that the XMM 7560 modem chip is an important step for Intel as it is the first to support CDMA, which means that iPhones equipped with new Intel modem chips will finally be available on all major carriers .
Built on the 14nm process, the XMM 7560 is also the first Intel modem chip to offer a download speed of up to 1Gbps with the support of 35 LTE tapes
The report states that & # 39; Intel is also working with Apple to develop the XMM 8000 series of 5G modems that are expected to debut in iPhone models that will arrive in 2019.
14/6/18: The 2018 iPhones Apple will offer improved fast charging technologies, according to new rumors.
Following recent rumors that the iPhone trio arriving first would come with a USB-C cable, Rosenblatt Securities badyst, Jun Zhang, says that Apple could team up with new, capable suppliers to provide more powerful charging components.
In a research note seen by AppleInsider Zhang says that he expects Apple to go from a charging circuit 5V 2A to 9V 2A and 5V 3A in its next iPhones, thanks to a partnership with a company called Power Integrations that allegedly replace ON Semiconductor and NXP as "the leading provider for the charging solution for all new iPhone and iPad."
This change will enable the company to iPhone "to support more applications, provide faster charging, and better compete with Android OEMs," said Zhang
12/6/18: The new Apple iPhones reportedly delivered with a Lightning cable to USB-C while Apple is preparing to add a USB-C port to its iDevice 2019 range.
The unlikely rumor comes from Digitimes claiming that Apple will bundle iPhones 2018 with a Lightning cable to USB-C and a new 18W charger, allowing users to enjoy fast charging type C without the need to purchase additional accessories.
More interesting, Digitimes claims that Apple will be abandoning its proprietary Lightning connection, introduced in 2012, with USB-C in 2019. The change, which will see Apple join the rest of the world of smartphones. would have been considered for the 2018 iPhones, but left too late in the implementation process.
Although such an approach seems unlikely, it also makes a lot of sense. Apple has already adopted the USB-C in its MacBook devices and USB Type-C is more robust than the company's Lightning connector in terms of bandwidth.
In addition, the adoption of USB-C would allow Apple device users to use the same cables and charging accessories on all their devices, but bad news for those who have paid Lightning headphones or other accessories.
11/6/18: Escaping schematics gave us a closer look at Apple's iPhone X Plus and on-screen LCD "iPhone".
The drawings were obtained by Forbes from the Ghostek accessories manufacturer, and there is a good chance that the latter will have access to the design information before the September launch of the handsets. He also provided Forbes with precise diagrams before, especially before the launch of the Galaxy S9.
First, we see the iPhone X Plus (above) that according to Forbes will come with an OLED 6.5in screen, which corroborates previous rumors. The handset will be expected to measure at 157x77x78, making it slightly smaller than the iPhone 8 Plus. However, one expects that it has a steel frame, which will probably make it heavier than its aluminum predecessor.
The diagrams also show what Forbes claims is a triple-lens camera on the back of the iPhone X Plus, similar to that seen on the Huawei P20 Pro. However, one of the three cuts is probably a flash, because Apple should not switch to triple-lens cameras before next year.
Then the "affordable" rumored LCD handset of Apple ( below ), which according to Forbes will be called the, er, "iPhone".
This will have a 6.1-inch screen, according to this latest leak, and will measure at 147.12 x 71.52 mm – longer and wider than current iPhones with screens of 5 , 8 inches.
The report notes that the "iPhone" will be bundled with the same Face ID technology as on the iPhone X, while the iPhone X Plus will boast of "second-generation" sweeping technology of the mug .
7/6/18: The trio of Apple iPhones could be cheaper than expected.

The successor of Apple's 5.8-inch iPhone 6 will cost between "$ 800 – $ 900" (600 to £ 670), says Kuo, which means that despite similar specifications to the current iPhone X, it could be
6.5in OLED iPhone will be the most expensive smartphone from 2018 Apple, with Kuo providing a starting price between $ 900 and $ 1000 (£ 670 – £ 745 ).
Kuo said in his research note: "We expect that Apple will adopt a more aggressive price policy for the following reasons: (1) worry about the negative impact of a price more high on a mature smartphone market) improved cost structure, mainly due to improvements in end product performance and 3D detection and reduced component costs, and (3) increased Face ID users benefiting from Promoting the Service and the Apple Ecosystem. estimates that Apple will announce and publish the three iPhones 2018 in September, including the LCD model whose recent reports will not be available until November.
4/6/18: The "affordable" LCD iPhone from Apple would have been delayed due to display problems.
According to the information website Korean The Bell ] who reports q The LCD screen – which will have a notch resembling the OLED screen of the iPhone X – suffers from production issues.
The two Japanese JDI and LG Display "struggle to get returns". the screen is supposed to cause a light leak that can affect the TrueDepth camera readings allowing Apple face identification.
"There is a problem with the added process efficiency and light leakage problem due to the application of the design and it is expected that mbad production will be possible by the end of this year. of the year, "said an industry badyst The Bell .
This means that the LCD iPhone, which is expected to be the cheapest in the upcoming 2018 lineup of Apple, will likely not be released until November.
