This September, it seems, Apple will repeat its format from this year, releasing three iPhones, two with OLED displays and one, the successor to the iPhone XR, with an LCD screen.
Some of the next iPhones will have more cameras as well, it seems. A new report in the Wall Street Journal claims that there will be a phone to replace the iPhone XR, despite the belief that it is under-performing this year, sales-wise. Though, for the record, I still think it will be a big performer in the long run.
There’s already been a leak which has suggested the phone that replaces the iPhone XS Max will have three cameras, as reported by Gordon Kelly here on Forbes. The renders visualizing the new Max showed a curiously asymmetrical arrangement of snappers – personally, I think it won’t look like that when it’s released.
But an extra camera is an extra camera, and certainly to be welcomed.
The smaller phone, successor to the 5.8in display iPhone XS, will stick with two cameras as now, it’s believed.

If this proves to be true, I think this is a shame – one of the great breakthroughs last September was that Apple produced two phones whose only difference was the size. Where other manufacturers put slower processors or compromised cameras and other reduced elements in their smaller handsets, the XS and XS Max were almost identical.
The phones are expected to mimic the screen sizes currently available, 5.8in and 6.5in respectively with the XR successor in between with a 6.1in display.
That iPhone XR sequel may be the last-ever iPhone with an LCD screen, as the report suggests Apple will shift to OLED screens across the range in 2020.
But the big change on the lower-priced iPhone is expected to be the addition of an extra camera – at last, portrait photos of your pets will be possible!
According to the Wall Street Journal, although things are not yet set in stone, they are far enough down the line that major features are not going to be changed much, if at all.
