The technology research company believes Apple will not only launch the successor to the iPhone X this year, it also plans to add another model but with a bigger screen size. We don't know what specs a new iPhone SE might include, but the original has hardware from the iPhone 6s, including an A9 chip, 2GB RAM, and a 12-megapixel rear camera. But it has been claimed that both the phones will get the second-generation Face ID and they might see an improvement in screen-to-body ratio as well. Later in 2018, the first smartphones using under-display fingerprint technology will enter mass production. Besides bringing the iPhone X Plus to the market, Apple is expected to launch the iPhone SE 2 this year. The successor to the iPhone SE will be targeted at the mid-segment of the market. A report from Chinese-language Economic Daily claims Apple is likely to launch the iPhone SE in the first quarter of this year. The new model will reportedly be manufactured by Taiwanese original design manufacturer (ODM) Wistron at its plant in Bengaluru. TrendForce estimates that 1.46 billion smartphones were produced in 2017, with that number set to increase an estimated five percent to 1.53 billion units in 2018. -PTC News
