The early trial production of the 2018 iPhone lineup will help Apple push ahead its delivery schedule, as reported by Digitimes - citing people working at some Taiwan-based IC design houses. The component orders of the new iPhone series are still reportedly at their original pace, but upstream and downstream supply chain makers are said to be quite positive about order prospects for this year.

Contrary to the reported plans for this year, Apple iPhone 8 Plus that don't feature Face ID were launched in September - as per the normal schedule, whereas the iPhone X didn't go on sale until November. Some media reports even suggest that trial production of the iPhone flagship didn't start on time.

Apple is rumoured to retain Face ID on its 2018 iPhone models and completely abandon the Touch ID-backed home button. Nevertheless, the company isn't likely to face any supply issues as it has already been dealing with similar constraints for the iPhone X. The minor problems with the components powering the TrueDepth camera system could also be resolved before April to ultimately let the company launch the new iPhone series in the typical September timeframe.

If we see some recent rumours, two of the 2018 iPhone models will come with OLED display s, while one is expected to come with an LCD . The 6.1-inch iPhone model is unlikely to come with features such as 3D Touch but will cost $799 (approximately Rs. 51,900). Moreover, all three new iPhone models are expected to come with a build similar to the iPhone X and include the notch design.
