Long term, iOS and software all that matters. Hardware is superficial that eventually wears off. The User becomes more immersed into the software, which is why iOS has such a strong following for its fluid, simplistic straightforward approach. (And of course the security).

agree. I dont care to much about hardware as long as my phone works without lag. My iphone 6s has been a beast at that. Besides i hide the look of my phone behind a phone case. Can't remember the last time i seen my iphone 6s bare

This product line is so bloated and redundant it's unbelievable. All for the Chinese market too.
 
If this 6.1" LCD come with even slimmer bezels than current iPhone X, with 400 ppi, with promotion and 3d touch, with at least 3 gb RAM....this means Apple must make some big changes to their 2018 OLED iPhones, because this LCD becomes a better value

Good for you.
Not relevant for me.

I don't understand why the perfect size is going to be exclusive to a mid-range device. For once can Apple not just make the same damn phone in more than one size??
 
This sounds like a such a bizarre iPhone lineup. So the 6.1” will be an upgrade from previous models in terms of size and bezels, but a downgrade in almost every other way (worse camera, no 3D touch, sounds like worse battery life)?
 
Only about 7 months and change till we find out. KGI already starting the rumor mill early and then new conflicting info to show Kuo is as informed as any average person is.

the flagship iphone has an OLED. Oled can't support 120hz (for now)

Yes, which is why I don't think Apple will enable what will be an amazing feature on the cheaper version--unless they can also get it to run on OLED but as you say--that hasn't been possible yet.

Premium:
4.7" ($699) -> 5.8" ($999)
5.5" ($799) -> 6.5" ($1,149)

Mainstream:
6.1" ($799)

Apple is raising prices for everyone. If you want the latest iPhone with the best features, it will cost at least $999.
 
One might argue that 3D touch is not as useful as others think, which by not including it on a 6.1 iPhone, will actually help reduce the cost of the new iPhone. Therefore others might see the price point more attractive.

I am one of those people. I don't need 3D touch at all, a long press could accomplish the same thing. I think Apple may be realizing this a bit. 3D touch makes any changes/improvements to the screen much more difficult.
