There have been previous supply chain reports that the upcoming 6.1-inch LCD iPhone 9 is going to be the most popular model. We’re expecting the iPhone lineup to be a little different than what we’re used to pertaining to the iPhone sales. To sum it all up, the iPhone with the LCD panel will be the customer’s most demanded. However, there’s more to the previous reports of low 2018 iPhone orders from new sources. So let’s check it out in a little more detail and see what’s different.

Nikkei report from a few days ago has a bit of an extension from Katy Huberty from Morgan Stanley. According to Huberty, the investors’ reaction on the Nikkei report was “understandable at face value” but “overblown.” She notes on the number of iPhones ordered in the second half of 2017 was 89 million instead of 100 million which was suggested by Nikkei. Now, she is anticipating a 90 million order for the iPhone. As can be seen, the numbers, though less, are not down by 20 percent.
