Apple would NEVER remove a feature /s

will they replace with some other contextual menu? I have never used 3D touch (simply forgetting its there), though it is available
Is it weird to anyone else that the phones are going to have as much memory as the laptops?
Since the 6.5” will have it its clear its not about sizeTbh the lack of 3D Touch on larger iOS devices such as the iPad makes this rumor believable. Perhaps there are technological limitations that prohibit the addition of 3D Touch on larger sized displays, and perhaps 6.1” is on the larger side in regards to the limitation.

The screen can be 6.5 inches and easily be smaller than the 7 plus if it has no bezels. The current X is 5.8 and far small than the plus.The downgraded camera is a dealbreaker on that 6.1". I hope this rumor is untrue. I don't want an X Plus if it's larger than my 7 Plus and even more expensive than the X. Also I prefer LCD to OLED, so the 6.1" would have been perfect. Would have been...

The sad thing is OLED and aluminum need not be gimped of features like dual lens camera and decent RAM for it to still be affordable. The 8 Plus has dual lens camera system and is more affordable than the X. It sounds like Apple intends to handicap the aluminum LCD model even further to manipulate customers into the most expensive options. The thing is, I can afford the top of the line OLED model. My eyes just can’t tolerate the OLED display as well as the LCD display.Lol they’re literally creating a “knockoff” of their own phone. Oh you want the X but can’t afford it? Here’s a gimped crappy version of it! Get the look without the price! Their product line grow more confusing by the minute. SAD.
KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who often relays information gathered from sources within Apple's supply chain in Asia, today shared a trio of new research notes that outline both new and existing predictions about the new iPhone X, iPhone X Plus, and lower-priced 6.1-inch iPhone expected later this year.
MacRumors obtained a copy of each research note, and we've rounded up the key points. More details are available in our 2018 iPhones roundup.
All-New 6.1-inch iPhone with LCD
New:o Taiwanese manufacturers Pegatron, Foxconn, and Wistron will be the key assemblers of the 6.1-inch iPhone, with 60 percent, 30 percent, and 10 percent allocation of EMS respectively
o Japan Display will supply around 70 percent of LCD panels for the 6.1-inch iPhone. Rumors suggest Apple will use Japan Display's six-inch Full Active LCDs that only require ultra-slim 0.5mm bezels on all four sides
Reiterated:o Nearly full screen design with no home button and notch for TrueDepth sensors
o 3D sensing for Face ID and Animoji
o Rectangular-shaped, one-cell battery with 2,850-2,950 mAh, up to 8.5 percent larger than current iPhone X. The increased capacity will be the result of a smaller logic board given manufacturing advancements
o Lower price point: starting at between $700 and $800 in the United States
The rumored 6.1-inch iPhone is shaping up to be a lower-priced iPhone X with some design compromises, which Kuo previously said will include an aluminum frame, a lack of 3D Touch, a single rather than dual lens rear camera, and 3GB of RAM, which will be less memory than other new 2018 iPhones have.
Next-Generation iPhone X and iPhone X Plus
According to Kuo, the second-generation iPhone X and a larger 6.5-inch version we're calling iPhone X Plus will each have an increased 4GB of RAM. Unsurprisingly, given its larger physical size, the iPhone X Plus is also expected to have up to a 25 percent larger battery capacity of 3,300-3,400 mAh vs. iPhone X.
Kuo adds that Apple has settled on a two-cell, L-shaped design for the second-generation iPhone X and iPhone X Plus battery, compared to a single-cell, L-shaped design that could have yielded up to 10 percent additional capacity.
By the sounds of it, the new iPhone X and iPhone X Plus, beyond the latter's larger screen size, won't be significant upgrades. Kuo doesn't expect improvements to be made to the TrueDepth camera system until 2019. Nevertheless, he expects the devices to sell well, especially the lower-priced 6.1-inch iPhone.

Long press in ios trigger the ability to erase or move the iconsThey could do what Android does - use a long-press to trigger the same thing. I actually find a long-press to be more intuitive and reliable. I'm always unsure of how much pressure I need to apply for 3D.
Nice joke. 3d touch/taptic engine now is on cars too like audi a8/a7 etc
Only the cheaper one is suppose not to have it,like the SE
I second on this. Notch is so exaggerated and becoming an excuse of not getting the best iPhone in the history up to date because of so many reasons, which the most likelihood is lack of purchasing power triggering jealousy and creating fake news to belittle the best iPhone to influence people not buying it due how bad it is. Diligent individuals would not listen this fake negative news. Notch complaints become so old and tiring and do not need to be responded, just ignore them. The notch complainers just could not move on.You guys need to give up on this idea that the notch is going away. It's the new design language of the entire iPhone lineup, not some rash decision they made in a design meeting just because they couldn't come up with anything better.
The last time they changed the design, they stuck with it for four years, so I'd prepare for the notch to exist until at least September 2021. I bet y'alls iPhone 8s will be feeling pretty ancient by then.
3d touch it still is and it will be. Where do you read that apple will discontinue 3d touch?It isn’t a joke. One of the most reputable insiders who reports Apple leaks has just recently claimed that they will be discontinuing 3D Touch. It just never really caught on.

same as here, its about the cheaper lcd
Some of us found migraines and eye strain were triggered by OLED. I though my X was a really excellent phone, but I returned it and purchased an 8 Plus in part due to the discomfort the OLED display was causing my eyes. I had other reasons for my decision but that was a considerable factor. I love to read ebooks on my iPhone and I could not on the X.Ok...or you could get used to these things in the future.

Looks like 2gb ram iOS devices are soon to be outdated. Better not update iOS on those devices anymore.
I actually think it makes sense. If the LCD 6.1 retains a lower price point, it could eliminate 3D Touch for price point reasons for lower tier pricing. While the more expensive 5.8/6.5 OLED model retains 3D Touch.

Again with the lame notch design? How many more iterations of the iPhone will it take before I will be able to purchase new device? Still not buying one as long as they’re “settling” on aesthetics with that ridiculous notch.

Apple is discontinuing 3D Touch. As it was an under-used, under-developed, and mostly unwanted feature, like most things they release these days.
