This rumoured budget iPhone X will measure 147.12 x 71.52 mm (5.79 x 2.81-inches), which is technically longer and wider compared to the 5.8-inch iPhone X. The report also suggests this variant of the iPhone will no longer support 3D Touch and likely features the 1st-generation Face ID, instead of 2nd-gen, which is supposed to feature in the upcoming iPhone X and iPhone X Plus.

As this is considered as the budget iPhone, the report claims that Apple is expected to gash the price across its line-up of devices by a $300 margin.

As far as the reports and rumours if are believed to be true, the cheaper budget iPhone would be featuring an LCD panel instead of an LED display.
