The updated version of the iPhone X could be cheaper than the current generation as the $999 starting price tag for the 10th-anniversary iPhone was deemed too expensive. It is possible the buyers will be able to get a larger version for the same price as the original whereas the smaller version could get cheaper.

Analyst Amit Daryanani from RBC Capital Markets said that he expects this year's 5.8-inch iPhone X replacement to cost $899, a $100 cheaper than the current model. He also predicted the 6.5-inch version, likely to be called the iPhone X Plus, will cost $999. 

Even though reports have suggested that iPhone X sales have not been up to the mark, Apple denies any such problem exists. “iPhone X was the best-selling smartphone in the world in the December quarter according to Canalys,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said in February, “and it has been our top-selling phone every week since it launched.”

It can be safely assumed that the company will base its next model on the current best-performing device i.e. the iPhone X.

The next big speculation is what the devices will be called as the company introduced the iPhone 8, 8 Pus and the iPhone X in 2017. The follow-up devices' names are a mystery as of now. However, we can be sure about one thing; Many new features such as Face ID, and the OLED screen will likely be featured in both 2018 models. We can expect the devices to have a faster A12 processor and support for Animoji. 

As of now, Apple will likely call these devices iPhone XS or even iPhone XI as they are meant to replace the iPhone X. The cheaper models with an LCD screen could be called as the iPhone 8S or iPhone 9 as these devices would be cheaper than the flagship lineup. 

In a recent leak, images of a larger iPhone X screen surfaced online and are expected to look something like this:
