It seems that the rumors about the new iPhone models for this year 2018 are coming to the fore again and this time they do so from the hand of the well-known KGI analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo. Everything indicates that this year it would launch three iPhone models and one of them will not have an OLED screen, in this case the bets are for the 6,1-inch model and in addition to that, this model could also do without the 3D Touch as Kuo explains in his latest leak.
The analyst explains that this iPhone model would mount a technology called: Cover Glass Sensor (which in its acronym would be CGS) and it seems that this screen is lighter and more shock resistant, but will not use the 3D Touch due to the increase in price of the panel that will go from 23 to 26 dollars a unit.
A turning point for iPhone LCD screens
And it seems that the implemented CGS technology will offer the iPhone that extra lightness and resistance, but the higher cost could leave out technologies with such a future as 3D Touch. In this sense it should also be noted that 5,8 and 6,5-inch models with OLED display which is said could launch Apple this year, yes they will add the 3D Touch.
It would be strange if Apple left aside a technology such as 3D Touch that is increasingly and better implemented in the screens of the iPhone even though the CGS display technology is also interesting. And all this makes us ask why can't both be implemented? because in addition to the high price in millions of devices, it seems that the space between the screen is already too tight and its implementation will not be possible In addition, it requires the haptic sensor that occupies more space in the equipment.
Highlight that this is what Kuo thinks about the future of iPhones, but then it is necessary to see if all this will materialize in the devices. At the moment and in many of the analyst's predictions we know that he is correct, but it remains to be seen if Apple will really put aside the 3D Touch despite the fact that the company itself is increasingly committed to gestures on its devices.
