Kuo also reported that:

Antenna design upgrade a key factor in anticipated boost to LTE transmission speed in new 2H18F iPhone models. As a LTE antenna FPCB material, LCP is superior to PI in properties related to high-frequency, thermal performance and moisture resistance. We predict 2H18 new iPhones will be equipped with two LCP LTE antenna modules same as iPhone X or more, but with higher specs to support 4×4 MIMO standards

Kuo has also said that Apple is working on a total of three iPhones for next year, including a 5.8-inch OLED model, a 6.5-inch OLED model and a new 6.1-inch LCD model.
