Apple is set to launch three new models of iPhones this year, reported Gadgets 360 quoting sources.

The yet to be launched iPhones will be unveiled in September and the Apple's goal is to steadily rise while expanding the total number of active devices to support sales of accessories and digital services like streaming music and video, the report said.

Internally dubbed D33, the new iPhone will come with a display of about 6.5 inch and will continue to have a glass back with stainless steel edges and dual cameras on the back, the report said, adding that it will also have the ability to view content side-by-side in apps like mail and calendar and will have a crisper organic light-emitting diode, or OLED screen.

It has planned to upgrade the current iPhone X with a 5.8-inch OLED screen, which is internally dubbed D32 and the main changes to the new OLED iPhones will be the processing speed and the camera, according to the report.

Codenamed N84, it will include a larger near 6.1-inch screen, come in multiple colours, and will have aluminium edges instead of the iPhone X's stainless steel casing. It will also have a cheaper LCD screen instead of an OLED panel, said the report.

These iPhones will have the gesture-based control system and they will also feature Face ID.

Apple is planning dual-SIM card slots for the two larger phones in at least some regions which will let travellers to easily switch between a local carrier plan and a new country or coverage area, said the report.
