9to5 Mac reports today that according to supply chain sources who have been speaking to The Bell in Korea, Apple’s forthcoming iPhone X Plus, the largest of the three new models that Apple is expected to launch later this year, is set to be the most popular of the three.
The larger version of the iPhone X is expected to have a 6.5-inch OLED display, and The Bell says that Apple has ordered more panels for the iPhone X Plus than for any of the other new models, predicting that 45 million 6.46-inch panels will be ordered by Apple for the iPhone X Plus, in comparison with 25 million panels for the 5.8-inch iPhone X Mark 2, and 30 million LCD displays for the cheaper model.
9to5 Mac also mentions various “rumblings” about a possible delay for the forthcoming LCD production in comparison with the OLED models. Some reports are saying that delays in production of the LCD model could see supplies squeezed until November, which could possibly explain why Apple LCD screen order is lower than expected.
