Apple's 2019 iPhone series could maintain current prices despite slow sales

If true, the iPhone XR (2019) will cost consumers $749 while the iPhone XI should retail at $999. Similarly, the iPhone XI Max, or whatever the device ends up being called, looks set to start at $1,099.
Naturally, because Apple’s 2019 iPhone series is still over 6 months away, pricing could still easily be changed prior to launch. Similarly, it’s worth noting that the cost of the models internationally is likely to be lowered. After all, Apple recently announced that it would begin reducing its prices in certain markets in order to boost sales.
As to what can be expected from the new models, Droid Shout corroborates previous rumors by stating that the iPhone XI and iPhone XI Max will make use of OLED displays complete with smaller notches. The iPhone XR’s successor, on the other hand, will feature an LCD panel once again. According to today’s report, though, there’s a possibility that its notch won’t be any smaller.
Like the current-gen model, the 2019 iPhone XR will also be available in a wide range of colors. However, one of this is allegedly being scrapped in favor of a new green option.
Lastly, the 2019 iPhone models are said to include a new polished coating which will improve grip. Droid Shout also claims that prototypes with USB-C ports are currently in testing, although the Lightning port could still be retained. The report also points towards dual-camera setups on the iPhone XR (2019) and iPhone XI, while the iPhone XI Max should feature three rear sensors.
