Apple’s new iPhone is setting rumor sites abuzz. Analysts believe this year’s 6.1- inch new LCD model iPhone will feature out-cell (add-on) touch modules, with price per unit higher than the 3D touch modules used in current LCD iPhones. The company’s supply chain is also being reported on.
Apple analyst, KGI Investment Advisory’s Kuo Ming-chi, predicts the 6.1 inch LCD iPhone expected to be released in the second half of this year will have the largest screen-to-body ratio of all LCD version iPhones, and will come without the 3D touch module.
According to Kuo, in order to reinforce the structural design and to protect the LCD panel, the add-on Cover Glass Sensor (CGS) touch module — or out-cell touch module — will also include metal elements, in addition to the glass cover and touch sensor components.

The report also says that Chinese companies Biel Crystal and Lens Technology may be supplying the out-cell touch module cover glass, while the touch sensor components will be supplied by Japan’s Nissha Printing and China’s O-film. The metal components will be supplied by Taiwan’s Foxconn Tech and US-based Jabil.
The report forecasts the unit price for the out-cell touch modules could be over US$20, more expensive than the 3D touch modules of the current LCD iPhones, which cost from US$8 to US$10 each.
Market analysts believe Apple may release a 6.5-inch and 5.8-inch OLED iPhone in the second half of the year, in addition to a 6.1-inch LCD iPhone. The 6.1-inch LCD iPhone is expected to be produced in higher volumes, between 65 percent to 75 percent of the total volume, with as many as 100 million to 120 million units being shipped.
