Report: Apple will double down on bigger iPhones screens next year

快报：苹果明年将推出更大屏手机

Apple will double down on big phone screens next year, says respected analyst¹ Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities.

据知情人士郭先生透露，苹果公司明年将推出更大屏幕的手机，其屏幕大小将是现行手机屏幕的二倍。

He writes in a new 2018 forecast that he expects Apple to announce a 6.5-inch phone with an OLED display (like the iPhone X), a 6.1-inch phone with an LED display, and a 5.8-inch upgrade to this year's iPhone X.

他在2018年的销售预报中指出，他预测苹果将推出6.5寸OLED屏，6.1寸LED 屏，以及5.8寸的iPhone X升级版。

All three of the new phones will use the iPhone X design and will feature the iPhone X’s facial recognition system and 3D camera effects, Kuo believes.

他认为，这三款手机都将采用iPhone X的设计并采用iPhone X面部识别系统以及3D相机效果。

Demand for the new (5.8-inch) iPhone X and (5.5-inch) iPhone 8 Plus has been much stronger than Apple anticipated–and far stronger than sales of the smaller (4.7-inch) iPhone 8. The larger-screen phones are selling well, and the smaller-screen ones aren't.

人们对于新iPhone X（5.8寸） 和iPhone 8 Plus（5.5寸）的需求远超苹果公司的预期，二者的销量也远超4.7寸的iPhone 8。屏幕大点的手机销量很好，而屏幕稍小的手机销量则逊色许多。

The last time Apple saw a large jump in iPhone sales was when it introduced a big jump in screen sizes with the (4.7-inch) iPhone 6 and the (5.5-inch) iPhone 6 Plus in 2014. It may hope to recapture some of that mojo with the 2018 phones.

苹果公司上一次升级屏幕尺寸还是在2014年推出4.7寸的iPhone 6和5.5寸的iPhone 6 Plus时。它们可能想通过明年的新款延续自己的神话。

Lots of people have predictions about Apple, but Kuo deserves attention because of his habit of learning about Apple’s plans early from his strong sources at Asian supply chains.

此前曾有许多人对苹果公司接下来的发展进行预测，但郭先生的确有这个资本，他习惯从自己在亚洲的苹果供应链中获取资源，并推断出苹果下一步的计划。
