Apple wouldn’t price themselves out like that. While I expect it to be more expensive, if this even exists, I wouldn’t say more than a $100-200 increase (which, I know.. still ridiculous)

Gimmick as usual though. Most applications do not support split-screen on iPad and that's a giant screen.. So odds are most won't suppose this on iPhone or it will be locked down to mainly Apple particular applications.
I’ve been looking for this exact comment since those rumors about X Plus started. And I simply cannot believe that you are the only person I’ve seen who did it.
Seriously, what is happening to people’s taste? Why does no one accept that something that is TOO BIG exists and yes, this is it?!
I think it would be useful and far from a gimmick, i don't know what apps you are using but most of the ones i use do indeed support split screen and multitasking i think a 6.5" screen would be enough to be able to do it on the Plus version, only time will tell i guess.
Because what's TOO BIG for one person isn't for another, i loved my 7 Plus device and was hoping that they would do it with the iPhone X but they didn't. Your not the only person in the world and MANY people like the size of the Plus devices.
I get what you saying but even with Samsung having the advantage of not paying full price for their screens their phones are very pricey (most people with go on installments) - Apple will not lower their margins and we end it up paying loony prices.
A&T - S9 for $790.20; S9 Plus for $915
Verizon - S9 for $800 ; $930 for the S9 Plus
SPRINT - S9 $792 and S9 Plus $912
You don’t speak for everyone. I’m perfectly fine with the old Plus size and now you’ll get another inch of screen. I also bet the new device is slightly smaller than the old Plus.
I’m perfectly fine with a large phone, particularly if it had a 6.5 inch display. I don’t have tiny baby hands though.
Forgot about pricing for storage/country taxes, etc.
Really just meant their onstage keynote announcement but you’re right.
I’m happy with my X. Maybe a tad wider, but I don’t miss the Plus.
Dual SIM? No chance.
They'll probably add Apple SIM before they think of doing that!
Also, that'll mean they have space for 2 SIMs, but not a headphone jack?!
Agreed! I could believe this if it was for a low cost model for developing markets, but the closest Apple will get to that market is with the iPhone SE.
Now THAT would be clever! (if it would mean that the regular SIM = static number for iMessage and domestic usage, and the internal e-sim could be used on the fly internationally for more affordable data)
An iPhone for everybody would mean a new smaller model, ideally the size of the original, ideally without any technical compromises.
I am definitely a nobody, too. The only complaint I have with my iPhone X is that it is too small. I want a X-like device with edge to edge screen that is at least the width of the iPhone 7+/8+ screen. If that makes the phone slightly taller than the 7+/8+ then so be it.
