Apple's next generation iPhone will feature a smaller notch, an under display Touch ID fingerprint sensor, and a USB-C port, according to Atherton Research analyst Jean Baptiste.
In a research note shared by Forbes, Baptiste says that Apple failed to admit the real reason iPhone sales stumbled in the holiday quarter.
With the latest iPhone X lineup, Apple is selling yesterday's technology at tomorrow's prices and consumers are beginning to realize that.
As usual, Apple is expected to introduce new iPhone features in 2019 but Baptiste believes that the device will have a high price tag and lack some of the things customers are looking for.
"Although we believe that Apple will release a re-designed iPhone X in 2019—with a smaller notch, a fingerprint reader (Touch ID) under the display, and a USB-C port—it will still lack the extensibility (memory card), the battery life, the lightning-fast charging capability, and the camera quality of Android flagship smartphones while being more expensive."
Atherton suggests Apple should focus delivering innovation rather than raising its prices.
The price for Apple's flagship phone has shot nearly 47% in 3 years, from $749 to $1,099—to compensate for its declining sales.
