Dual-SIM iPhone to launch only in China, claims Taiwanese report

An iOS 12 source code revealed that one of the 2018 iPhone models will come with a dual-SIM tray. But whether the 6.5-inch iPhone X Plus or 6.1-inch LCD iPhone would get the feature was not confirmed. And now, a Taiwanese news portal has reported that the 6.1-inch LCD iPhone will support dual-SIM cards and that this variant will launch exclusively in China.

The Taiwanese report, citing sources from Foxconn, claims that the iPhone models have four separate codes, with the fourth code being the dual-SIM 6.1-inch iPhone. This suggests Apple will launch a new 5.8-inch iPhone X and a 6.5-inch iPhone X Plus, both with OLED displays, and two variants of the 6.1-inch LCD iPhone - one with single SIM support and another dual-SIM variant.
