The LCD iPhone X Will Be The Most Popular 2018 iPhone

Finally the iPhone X hype has died down and we're already hyped about the next iPhone release. We're just two months into the year and we've already got rumours about the 2018 iPhones.

Ming-Chi-Kuos Got Us Covered

Trusted leaker Ming Chi Kuo recently let out a report stating that Apple might release 3 new iPhones in 2018 and at first glance this may seem a little confusing when you look at it in context of the rumored feature set.

Yeah that line up definitely raises a few questions. Would Apple really backtrack to an LCD panel after all that talk about how an OLED finally rose to the standards of the iPhone? To that I say yes, yes they would.

Most People Dont Want To Spend A $1000 On A Phone

Despite the amazing sales of the iPhone X which actually grew rather than contracted as per most reports. Most people still don't want to shell out a $1000 as shown by the strong iPhone 8/+ sales. So it would be a good idea to reduce the asking price of Apples new flagship.But the iPhone X is one costly cookie to produce. With its OLED panel itself costing upwards of $110. Thats almost one tenth of the cost of the entire product for just the display. So if you wanted a cheaper iPhone X the display is one area that you could compromise on to signiicantly lower the cost of the device.But would such a device sell? We've seen that everyone loves the design and a lot more people would have upgraded to the iPhone X if it weren't for its price tag. As per the rumours so far you're getting the complete iPhone X experience with the rumoured LCD version Face ID and everything. So I do Believe that the device would sell well.

LCD Vs OLED

We've all been hearing about how amazing OLED is over LCD, about how OLED has deeper blacks and how contrast is much better on the OLED panel.But after having used the iPhone 7 and 8 for a while I've personally not had any issues with the LCD panel on either. They both look gorgeous, as they should. Sure you can see the differences when you put them side by side and even then it's not that obvious. So I don't think that having LCD on a 2018 iPhone would be that much of a deal-breaker. Apple has been pushing the limits of LCD technology and it really does show in their LCD panels. So you're really getting a really good deal on the LCD iPhone X and if it means a lower price of even $700 or $800 people will be willing to upgrade for the new design and Face ID.

What Is KaiOS? The Android Competitor You've Never Heard Of

When you think of the smartphone OS wars, we have two warring factions, Android and iOS. For about 5 years this was the way it's been. But in the distant past there were three smartphone Operating Systems. Android, iOS and Windows. The three way battle for OS supremacy raged on and before long the triopoly became a duopoly. With Windows phone being more or less dead the two major Operating systems only had each other to worry about for the longest time. Now the incumbents have a new kid on the block to worry about , KaiOS. But wait if KaiOS is so great how come no ones ever heard of it before? But First Some Background KaiOS is built on the ashes of the Firefox OS , For phones that aren't necessarily smart. You remember those old phones that you used to rock back in 2009? Yeah phones like those. The aim of KaiOS is to bring down the features of a smartphone down to a feature phone. So for that very same reason Kai...

Why I Love The iOS Files App

iOS has long been guilty of being terrible with files, You had third party file managers that promised to give you a great files experience. But most of them fell pitifully short, some did almost come close to being good but none came close to the flexibility and power that a file explorer on Android, Windows or MacOS could ever hope to give you.That all changed with the introduction of the files app on iOS 11. Why Bother With A Files App? Apple has been talking about replacing the PC with an iPad for quite a while now and to truly replace a PC you need a few desktop features on iOS which is primarily a mobile OS. Ask anyone and they'll tell you that the ability to manipulate files is one of the most basic things that you'd expect a computer to do. After all one of the first GUI apps was a file explorer. So it makes sense to bring over the file explorer to iOS. But you just can't port finder over...

How Will The 6.5 Inch iPhone Be Different?

With the iPhone X out of the way we're now starting to focus on the iPhone X+ or whatever it will be called. With the iPhone X they couldn't really afford to come out with two new phones in 2017 as components such as FaceID and the whole manufacturing process was very constrained as it was a brand new design. But a year later Apple seems to have got a handle on things and seeing the great sales of the iPhone X, Apple seems to be ready to spread their wings into the + market. Why Differentiate At All? The iPhone X has been selling really well despite the rumours that state the contrary. A 6.5 inch plus model iPhone can really go a long way in keeping the lineup fresh and exciting. Just look at the Galaxy S8 and S9. Though great phones they lacked they didn't bring anything new and fresh to the table. Apple is in a unique advantageous position to bring something new to the table with the rumoured iPhone X+ . Since the iPhone 7 people have flocked to the larger v...
