We’re expecting the iPhone to stretch itself this year.
Brooke Crothers of Fox News reports:
As leaks intensify, we may be getting a clearer picture of the 2018 iPhone lineup.
In a word, big. Big as in really big displays and big design changes.
The latest reports claim to show the front glass panels on the new iPhones. That trio of phones, in order of size, are expected to be an “iPhone X Plus,” a budget iPhone X, and a second-generation iPhone X, according to a report at MacRumors and images from Ben Geskin, a widely-cited leaker.
IPHONE 9 RUMOR ROUNDUP: EVERYTHING WE KNOW SO FAR
The so-called iPhone X Plus is expected to be massive by Apple standards, with a 6.5-inch display. Far bigger than any iPhone launched to date and possibly bigger than Samsung’s giant Galaxy Note series, including the soon-to-be-released Galaxy Note 9.
The budget iPhone is slated to have a 6.1-inch display and the iPhone X update will maintain its 5.8-inch screen size.
Home button is history, get used to the notch
All three iPhones are expected to follow the iPhone X’s lead and ditch the home button in favor of Face ID. Like the current iPhone X that means a notch, which houses the Face ID TrueDepth camera, situated at the top of an edge-to-edge display.
