Those in the market for a new iPhone next year may have more options than ever before to choose from.
There's a chance Apple could release five new iPhones in 2020: four versions of its flagship iPhone and a sequel to the low-cost iPhone SE from 2016. That's according to Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst with TF International Securities known for his Apple product predictions, whose comments were recently reported by 9to5Mac and MacRumors among other outlets.
If Kuo's forecast turns out to be accurate, it would represent a major shakeup for Apple's iPhone product strategy. For the past four years, Apple has debuted three new iPhones. Before that, from 2013 through 2015, Apple gave iPhone shoppers two new options to choose from.
But the release of five new iPhones in a single year would signal a notable shift in Apple's approach that more closely mirrors that of Android rivals like Samsung, which typically launch multiple phones in various sizes at different prices throughout the year. Apple did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.
Here's a breakdown of the five different iPhone models Apple is rumored to announce next year.
