I have no real hopes in this. Love my iPhone 7, and ordered a new pixel for my android needs.
I guess I am looking into the predicted trickle down phones for 2018 with X features.
Got a tip for us?

yes
most posters are not reading the article correctly.
its not saying anything about a delay involving the X model announced last month.
its saying that the the premium iPhone model that will be announced September 2018 is the model that will prompt a huge number of people to upgrade from prior models.
previously many analysts were saying that the model announced last month would cause that. and they are backtracking on that now. indicating that a more normal number of people will be upgrading this cycle, but not more than usual.

This is part of the reason I decided to upgrade to the 8+. From the looks of it, I suspect that features from the iPhone X will trickle down to the other two models. Could care less for facial ID TBH. If I can have an OLED screen on an 8+ I would be in heaven. Either way, coming from a 6+ to an 8+ is enough of an improvement for me to keep me occupied until next year.
Actually 2018F is 2018 Forecast.
Does no one here read economic or finance reports? No one in the community uses "fall." Instead, quarters are used, e.g. Q3'18.
(1) TrueDepth Camera's production issues will be significantly addressed in 2018F; (2) new models launched in 2018F will enjoy a longer sales period than those unveiled in 2017;
Those events haven't happened yet and Ming-Chi Kuo is forecasting them.

ugh Sick of reading this cult iSheep BS saying the notch making it look iconic & distinctively iPhone. As if all previous iPhones weren't glaringly bloody obvious they were iPhones. The notch is NOT iconic, it's just intrusive. To create the notch involves cutting the oled where 50% of early production failed (causing a price hike & one of many component delays connected to the notch) even now they claim 20-25% of screens fail due to the notch. Add in that Apple did a deal w/ Japan Display for new gen LCD's that can't be "notched" & you can see future iPhones will be notch-less. The X is a special edition like the 20th anniversary Mac in 1997 which had a super high price too. The notch is not the future & inflation pending neither is the $1000+ price.
you people who think the notch is ugly or it will go away need to get over it. The notch is never going anywhere within the next 3-5 years. This design has set a precedemt of what all models will look like. Either get over the notch or wait a while. Theyre not going to do a redesign then all of sudden do away with it, apple has never done that
[doublepost=1507310339][/doublepost]only the people on macrumors actually give a **** about the stupid notch or nerds for that matter, most people will not give a **** and thats what apple cares about

Nope. It stands for forecast.
Fiscal would be FY 2018 or 2018 FY.
The incorrect information being posted is quite disturbing. It really shows the lack of basic education by some posters.
interesting. first time i hear this. it shed a very different light on the possible next phones batch next year. didn't realize the notch is even harder to manufacture. you sure 'baut dat?
I think a better way to look at it is ask if people really like the notch, are they willing to pay extra for it or pay a normal price for a rectangle OLED screen.
And then some are "super cycling" to another platform that doesn't have a notch, and does have a headphone jack and fingerprint reader. Will be interesting to see how this plays out from the sidelines this round.
At least from than on you can call yourself a happy member of the yet unknown Supercycle community.
If you're keeping the phone for three years it is more to your advantage to wait a couple months to get the x+1 version.
I keep saying to myself 'get a used 7+ and wait it out, let them get the gen 2 FaceID in there'.
Then I see that pic of the white/silver X and I just start drooling...

Bit extreme. Don’t know about finance so you’re an idiot? Don’t bust your ass when you fall off your high-horse.
I doubt that notch will go away. Apple will try to use that design for at least one more year, if not longer. If they did remove it, it would be an indirect acknowledgment that it was a bad looking design.
