What's going on with Apple's iPhone 8 next year? According to 9to5mac, the US technology media, Apple will launch a 4.7-inch updated version of the iPhone 8 next year, with a new A13 processor, 128 GB storage and a rear camera. The price is about $650.
The updated 4.7-inch iPhone 8 is targeted at the mid-range market and is expected to produce 20 million units, which will be OEM by hushuo, according to the report. Other supply chains include TSMC, daliguang, yujingguang, Ruiyi optoelectronics, Qibang technology, Huatong and Xinpu.
Taiwan's Economic Daily reported that Apple plans to launch an updated version of the 4.7-inch iPhone 8 in March 2020, with an estimated production of 20 million units, all assembled by Heshuo, to re lock in the mid-range smartphone market.
The 2020 iPhone 8, with 128GB of storage capacity, features a new A13 chip and a single lens camera, and costs about $650, the report said.
Apple stopped production of the iPhone se last year, leaving only third-party sellers to continue selling stocks, but there are still a few consumers publicly calling for apple to introduce a smaller size mobile phone design.
The 2020 iPhone 8 is similar in design to the previous iPhone 8. Because of the large forehead and chin, the iPhone 8 as a whole is only slightly smaller than the 5.8-inch iPhone X / XS. This also means that the new model retains Apple's unique touch ID home key. It's worth noting that touch ID is still on Apple's newly updated iPad air and ipad Mini, so it's not crazy for apple to use a fingerprint sensor on another iPhone.
Therefore, the new iPhone 8 with the latest hardware configuration is more likely that Apple hopes to provide consumers with a cost-effective iPhone model. Previously, the iPhone x pushed up the price of Apple's mobile phone. The starting price of the iPhone XR is $750, while the price of the iPhone XS series exceeds $1000. For apple, the $600 to $650 iPhone will help the company compete in emerging markets such as India.
