According to Ming Chi Kuo from KGI securities who is known for many accurate Apple predictions, the 2018 iPhone models will support gigabit LTE speeds, just like the Note 8 or Galaxy S8 and also Dual SIM Dual Standby (DSDS) SIM setup.
Apple will implement a faster module which will feature 4x4 MIMO setup instead of the current 2x2 antenna modules. Samsung's Galaxy Note 8 features the 4x4 MIMO antenna module instead of the 2X2 on the iPhone X and in a recent speed test which was conducted, the Samsung galaxy note 8 beat the iPhone X with up to 2x the speed.

According to the memo by Ming-Chi Kuo;

"2H18 iPhone models won't only offer faster LTE transmission speed: We predict that at least one of the 2H18 new iPhone models will support dual-SIM dual standby (DSDS). Unlike existing DSDS phones, which commonly support LTE+3G connections, we believe next-generation iPhone models will support LTE+LTE connections, in a bid to enhance the user experience."

Base on the memo above, the newer iPhone models will not just support dual SIM dual standby both LTE + LTE on both Sims unlike the LTE + 3G you find on most android devices. This means that you will be able to use LTE on both Sims simultaneously.

An earlier note by Kuo has said Apple will launch three models of the Apple iPhone in 2018, and one will be mid-range variant with a more affordable pricing. Also the notch on the top and the Face ID scanner are here to stay.

I doubt apple will ever let their phones support dual SIM. This is a company that removed headphone jack from their phone and gradually many phone makers are following trend, Google already joined them with the pixel 2. And not all phones have dual SIM as standard (except the Chinese phones). I know Samsung, LG , HTC have some dual SIM versions of their phones but they are not sold in the US, they are mainly meant for the Chinese and African market.

Apple are a company that can do something and get away with it. Dual SIM? NO NO. At least not yet. iPhones are the only phones that run on iOS, so they can afford to add or remove a feature from their device, it still won't affect their sales, u know why? Because if u love iOS u have no choice than to buy the iPhone. So they have absolutely no reason to add dual SIM to their phones as it will not affect their sales.

U never know bro

greenhulk:


I guess we wait and see. But I strongly doubt they will make dual SIM iPhones. Apple would rather u buy 2 iPhones than have 1 with 2 sims

Reediano:

But who would prefer 2 iPhones at a time over a slightly expensive Dual SIM iPhone

greenhulk:


Apple's biggest market is the US and Americans don't even fancy dual sim phones. Like I said it will not affect their sales whether they make it dual sim or not. Apple are all about profit and they are in the habit of removing than adding. They shrunk the sim card to micro sim card, and then nano sim card, they yanked off the headphone jack... u think they will now add an extra sim slot?

I laughed when I saw the news. Gigabit LTE definitely but dual SIM? Lol. They'll probably go with the E SIM type like Pixel 2 but conventional?

When most flagships are dropping the dual SIM variant, na Apple of all companies that can't even give you 3.5 mm or sd card will start dual SIM. Lolll

You're right, But for Apple to plan releasing mid-range smartphones says something about their sales(or profit) they're not making it as before hence the need to accommodate the mid-range fellas. Of course that'llbe at the expense of premium quality (hardware wise), am not an i-fanboy, but I admire their choice of premium materials for their devices.
