Apple launched the iPhone 11 series in September 2019. However, reports about 2020 iPhones are already making rounds on the internet. 5G is going to be the hottest feature on the next-generation iPhone models and according to the latest DigiTimes report, support for the new generation technology will further drive iPhone sales in the market.
According to DigiTimes’ supply chain sources from Taiwan, Apple is expecting to sell over 100 million 5G iPhone models in 2020. This would be a substantial rise from the 70-80 million shipments expected of the current generation iPhone 11 series. While Apple is yet to officially confirm 5G on its next-generation iPhones, Qualcomm’s executive had hinted at an investor conference call that 2020 iPhones could come with this new generation technology.
5G iPhones in 2020 could do well in a market like China. It’s no secret that China is going to be one of the biggest iPhone markets in the world. There are already a bunch of 5G smartphones from companies like Huawei and Xiaomi and a number of other manufacturers are going to release their 5G models in the coming weeks. So despite the popularity outside of China, the lack of 5G in the current generation iPhones could be a major drawback for iPhones this year. But if 2020 iPhones support 5G, Apple could get a huge boost in the Chinese market next year, helping its overall sales.
