Unable to have sufficiently touched the Chinese market, the iPhone could see its production stopped this summer and leave room for an iPhone with 6.1-inch LCD screen.
The difficulties would come mainly from China where the smartphone would not have met the expected success, Chinese consumers have not really appreciated the design with notch of the screen and preferring smartphones with larger displays.
The analyst anticipates a volume of only 13 million units in the second quarter of 2018, which could lead to an end of cycle from mid-2018 with the discontinuation of the production of the iPhone X during the summer, leaving up to a new range of three iPhone in the fall.

This time, it is promised, the super cycle dreamed by analysts and which would lead the owners of old iPhone massively migrate to the new models will be deployed in 2018 and ensure the success of the new series.
It will again have three models, with two iPhone OLED of 5.8 and 6.5 inches and a 6.1-inch iPhone but with LCD display at the beginning of the range with a price a little lower, around 650 to 750 dollars.
Ming-Chi Kuo, however, remains positive on iPhone volumes for the whole year since it anticipates a 10% increase, beyond most analysts' estimates (around 5%). The mirage of the super cycle is always dreaming.
