Analysts are expecting Apple to completely replace the production of iPhone X with the 2018 lineup, which includes one 6.1-inch MLCD+ screen variant, which analysts are calling the iPhone 9, while the remaining two devices will feature OLED screen technology. While consumers might be actively waiting for the arrival of the newer models, Apple is also believed to phasing out its 4-inch iPhone SE as well, which was launched back in 2016.

This hasn’t come as a surprise; most mobile manufacturers are racing towards the production of phones with a big screen and slimmer bezels. In keeping up with this trend, Apple probably doesn’t think it’s logical to keep producing a 4-inch phone or the $999 iPhone X which no one will buy once the new generation is officially out. Apple is also planning to introduce a 6.1-inch inch LCD iPhone with a notch that will apparently retail for $549 for the base version, and come with better hardware than the iPhone X.
