Supercycle : iPhone Event Could Include Big Surprises

A TRIPLE THREAT

With Apple’s September event now just weeks away, the rumor mill is in overdrive, with analysts and enthusiasts all weighing in and sharing their expectations for the next iPhone lineup. 2018 has been a strong year for Apple, with continued growth in its Apple Music service, and record earnings quarters helping Apple to become the world’s first public company worth more than one trillion dollars.

But what’s next for Apple? Of course, the company is expected to venture out into new products and services, with a rumored Apple Car and a Netflix-style subscription service already in the works, but in the meantime, all eyes are on the hardware. Last year’s iPhone X revolutionized smartphones once more, what with the removal of the home button, the introduction of ‘the notch’ and the inclusion of facial recognition. This year, Apple must build on the success of its new flagship smartphone, increase its sales and encourage more of its customers to part with more of their cash (the iPhone X was the most expensive iPhone in history, at $999).

Today, we take a closer look at the next ‘supercycle’ for Apple, with the company expected to launch three new iPhones, including a Chinese-exclusive to dominate international markets.

CHINA-ONLY iPHONE MODEL

In perhaps one of the most exciting and unexpected rumors in recent iPhone history, Apple is expected to begin this year’s September product unveils with a brand new device designed specifically for a Chinese market. According to a report from a reputable Taiwanese entertainment website United Daily News, Apple has began production on a budget LCD iPhone model, which will be Apple’s first dual-SIM device.
