At the moment, almost all the specifications of the new iPhone are already known. However, Citi Research analysts believe that Apple will still be able to surprise users. In particular, experts are confident that the new Apple smartphones will support Apple Pencil.
Rumors that the iPhone will learn to work with Apple’s branded stylus appear not the first time. As a rule, this is reported by different sources in anticipation of the presentation of new smartphones. For example, in 2017 such rumors appeared a few weeks before the release of the iPhone X, and in 2018 – shortly before the official announcement of the iPhone Xs Max. It seems that this year the experts decided not to “break” the tradition.
It is worth noting that there are some hints about the appearance of Apple Pencil support in the iPhone. In the past, Apple has received several patents that describe a smaller version of the branded apple stylus. It is assumed that the latter is intended for smartphones.
In addition to information about Apple Pencil support, Citi Research analysts also talked about other features of the iPhone 2019. In particular, they said that the new Apple smartphones should get more capacious batteries, an improved front-facing camera, and the successors of the iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max – the main camera with three lenses.
In general, if we do not take into account the information about the support of the stylus, Citi Research experts did not tell anything new about the iPhone 2019. All this information has been online before. However, it is worth bearing in mind that Citi Research analysts specialize mainly in finance and sales volumes and rarely make predictions about future products.
