Apple is expected to produce three iPhones again in 2020, with 5.4-inch and 6.7-inch screen versions with 5G and 6.1-inch versions maintaining 4G LTE connectivity.
According to Chinese sources, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo expects Qualcomm to be a 5G chip supplier by 2020 for Apple. In addition, 5G will be limited to the smallest and largest iPhone version. 5G connection is expected to include not only sub-spectrum - 6GHz, but also include mmWave with 5G speed. According to initial notes, Broadcom will provide the majority of the 5G sub-circuit and power supply while Skyworks will provide additional components.
This is not the first rumor about 5G support on iPhone 2020. In addition to 5G support, iPhone 2020 is expected to have 3D depth sensor for the rear camera. In addition, Apple can revive the Touch ID by taking advantage of acoustic fingerprinting technology to turn the entire screen into a fingerprint scanner, which has appeared in several company patents. Not only that, the second generation iPhone SE of the following year is also expected to use the same processor chip as the iPhone 8.
iPhone Xs Max and iPhone Xs.
Kuo hopes iPhone sales will increase from 188 to 192 million by 2019, to 195 to 200 million by 2020 with the introduction of 5G. After the launch of iPhone 5G, sales in the second half of 2020 will increase from 70 to 75 million units.
Although the growth rate from 2019-2020 is quite large, it cannot match the heyday of the iPhone in 2015. In that year, the company sold 231.2 million iPhones. Then, "Apple Fruit" sold 211.8 million, 216.8 million and 217.7 million iPhones in fiscal years 2016, 2017 and 2018.
The spec of the iPhone 2020 series has gradually been revealed.
Regarding "iPhone 5G", TSMC has also developed the infrastructure to design the 5 nanometer technology process, which can be used for future chip designs and applied in 2020. This process Can be used in "A14" chips for iPhone in 2020.
Other rumors suggest that the entire iPhone 2020 series will use OLED displays, instead of equipping two high-end OLED and LCD screens for the iPhone XR as it is now. Samsung is expected to be the main OLED display supplier, LG Display and Japan Display will not get any orders.
