Apple’s decision to vastly overhaul the iPhone lineup with the iPhone X looks to have gained the company favor with the rumor mill. Just yesterday, folks over at Nomura securities made some prediction about the 2018 iPhone lineup. According to them, Apple will continue to launch three iPhones. All three will feature facial recognition, and we will get a middle ranged iPhone with the feature as well. This device will feature a LCD display and lack Force Touch. Today, more details for the smartphone surface. Take a look below to find out more.

The move to switch the iPhone’s display to OLED is a big one. Partly because Apple’s waited too long to make the shift. And partly because it increases Cupertino’s dependence on Samsung, one of its main rivals in the smartphone world. Now that reports of a LCD iPhone start to surface, things become more clear. If Cupertino eliminated LCD from its smartphones, then it’ll have to rely completely on Samsung – which isn’t a sound business move by any standards.
