The 2019 iPhones have just been revealed, but we’re already hearing the first talks about the next year’s handsets. First, we’ve heard rumors about a deep redesign on 2020 iPhones. Now we are hearing reports about the 5G availability on the next year’s models. According to Seeking Alpha, JP Morgan analyst Samik Chatterjee says that 2019 iPhones will do better than the “silent expectations”. However, the next year will be even better thanks to the 5G iPhones debut.
5G iPhone sales “will drive high investor confidence in the sustainability of revenue growth even in the backdrop of a mature smartphone market”. We don’t know if 5G will be available for all iPhone models in the next year, or it will be limited to the premium variants. However, they will reportedly increase Apple’s revenue generated from mobile handsets.
