Apple iPhone XS, iPhone XC, MacBook, iPad Pro price and specs leaked

Apple is gearing up for its September 12 event where the Cupertino, US-based technology giant is expected to announce iPhone 2018, iPad Pro 2018, MacBook and Apple Watch. Reports around what to expect from Apple’s event has been making rounds of the internet since the beginning of this year. However, a recent leak on Chinese social media platform Weibo claims to know final price, specifications and names of the upcoming products, according to technology portal Mysmartprice.

According to the portal, the iPhone 2018 model would have at least two variants – iPhone XS and iPhone XC. These models would be launched along with a new iPad Pro 2018, MacBook and Apple smart Watch.

Here are the details of the upcoming products based on the recent leak on Weibo:

Apple iPhone XS

The iPhone XS is expected to be the premium-edition model with an OLED screen in the upcoming range of iPhone 2018. According to the leak, the phone would come in two screen sizes – 5.8-inch and 6.5-inch. The leak does not reveal if the phone would be based on the iPhone X concept, therefore there is no confirmation on the screen notch. The phone, however, is said to feature a glass-metal-glass design that Apple introduced with the iPhone 8 series.

Apple iPhone X successor with LCD screen coming soon at half the price?

The anniversary-edition Apple iPhone X is one of the expensive consumer-centric smartphones launched late last year. However, the iPhone X successor, with a 6.1-inch notch-based LCD screen and dual-SIM functionality, would cost half the price of the current generation flagship, according to a report in 9to5 citing KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

In an earlier Bloomberg report, Kuo said Apple was considering creating another price segment for dual-SIM-based iPhones. He also said that the single SIM model could sell at between $550 and $650, while the dual-SIM model would go for at least $650.

Kuo’s information stands in line with the Digitimes research analyst Luke Lin, who said in his report that Apple would launch a new 5.85-inch iPhone this year with OLED screen at a price much lower than that of the iPhone X.
