Apple 2018 iPhones: Cheaper LCD-based models to outsell OLED flagships

From CNET: People who buy a new 2018 iPhone will stick with the cheaper version that has an LCD screen, not the more-expensive OLED-based phones.

Apple is rumored to be working on two organic light emitting diode (OLED) screen phones for its new 2018 lineup, expected in September, and just one with a traditional liquid crystal display (LCD) screen. But the LCD version will cost less and deliver better sales, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal citing people involved in Apple's supply chain.

Apple's current iPhone lineup features just one phone with a fancy OLED screen, the flagship iPhone X, which starts at $999. That lofty price, compared to $699 for its cheapest current LCD-based phone the iPhone 8, has led to lower-than-expected sales.
