Although it is said that this year's new iPhone has not been released, due to the news given by all parties, this year's iPhone Xi will not support 5g network, coupled with the 'upgrade' of its appearance design, consumers' expectations for it are not too high for the time being. According to the latest forecast of well-known analyst Guo Mingyu, maybe the iPhone in 2020 will be more worthy of expectation, even iterative upgrading.
According to Guo Mingyu's latest prediction of Apple's iPhone, he said that we will not see the first 5g iPhone until 2020. This is largely due to the reconciliation between apple and Qualcomm, which indirectly led Intel to abandon the research and development of all smartphone modems, and then the lock reaction affected the research and development of 5g iPhone.
At the same time, Guo Mingyu also predicted the iPhone in 2020. It said that in addition to supporting 5g network, the size of the new iPhone next year will also change. The small version of the iPhone will shrink to 5.4 inches, while the large version will rise to 6.7 inches. In addition, the iPhone XR will still be updated. With a 6.1-inch screen, it will be upgraded from LCD screen to OLED screen, which also means that all iPhones will be equipped with OLED screen as standard next year.
Although it is said that Apple has plans to acquire Intel's smartphone modem business, so as to facilitate the self-development of 5g baseband chip in the future. However, it is still a long time before the arrival of Apple's self-developed 5g baseband chip. Before that, Apple will probably cooperate with Qualcomm to ensure the smooth launch of 5g iPhone.
It is expected that Apple will have the opportunity to use its own 5g baseband chip in 2022 or 2023. Judging from the current progress, 5g iPhone is difficult to appear this year. In addition, the iPhone will only be updated at a fixed time every year, so the 5g iPhone can only be released around September next year. On the progress of 5g adaptation and support, Apple seems to be really slow this time, which may also affect the competitiveness of the new iPhone next year.
