Barclays has published an investor note predicting that Apple will drop 3D Touch support for iPhone, introduce new AirPods, and release a lower cost HomePod next year, reports MacRumors.Analyst Blayne Curtis traveled across Asia last week to meet with companies in Apple's supply chain. Based on those meetings Curtis says:
● It's 'widely understood' that Apple will remove 3D Touch from iPhones with OLED displays in 2019. If the new 6.1-inch LCD iPhone does not have 3D Touch that means no current generation iPhone will have the feature next year.
● A new 'AirPod 2' will launch in Q4 2019.
● A wireless charging case for AirPods and the AirPower wireless charger will launch in September 2018.
● A cheaper HomePod with 'broader appeal' will launch in 2019.
● Barclays "does see the potential for the new iPhones to support pen input"
