This thing looks massive and I love it. Coming from the 7 Plus to the X was a little jarring as it’s kinda smaller, but kinda not, and while I like the smaller size in my pocket, a plus size version of this would be amazing.
Got a tip for us?

What wasted screen real estate? - up to their own row where?
They;'re at the top, they can't go any higher, the reason for the notch is to NOT waste screen space. What before would have had to be about 96 pixels or more for a static bar at the top of the screen with information is now pushed up into the corners of what would have been a black bezel. The notch solves two problems in one. I'm not sure you understand how this works.
Makes sense. Like I said, I’ve never paid attention to rumors so early before. It seemed like in previous years, prototype and production rumors were later, but with this new facility it’s apparent that’s different now, if it ever was. Good stuff either way.
Especially when they announce which phones they will no longer be selling!
You say that now. Just wait until you are up at 3am pushing the refresh button like a strung out maze rat looking for his next fix.

Any bigger, and Apple would have to include carrying luggage, just so people would buy it.
Just want to have a wider X with all Plus features (Desktop rotation, App layouts...). In Spring 2018.
I hope it isn't true. iPhone X sales weren't even that great and a Plus size is coming? Better not cost more than $1,000 or it'll have lesser than expected sales again.
The ‘thick’ border of the current X bothers me more than the notch.
Especially when Apple promotes it as an edge-to-edge display.
The plus sized iPhone X will be the real change since the classic iPhone, finally surpassing the screen area of the Plus without getting more obnoxious. It'll feel huge! Bring it on!
Agreed that the LCD seems to hit a perfect spot of size while leaving out the admittedly very nice, but also expensive OLED panel. It'll probably sell very well.

We don’t even know the price yet, much less whether the rumors are true.
Keep an open mind and wallet. Apple needs you.
[doublepost=1519574414][/doublepost]I am not sure it is real or fake but I am 90% sure that there is no iPhone X plus name phone is gonna release by apple there will be iPhone 9 or some thing not x or x plus.
New photos claimed to be of the rumored 6.5-inch "iPhone X Plus" screen and digitizer have been shared on the MacX forums [Google Translate], with the poster claiming the parts come from a "trial run of production equipment" at LG's facilities in Vietnam.
The first photo shows a single digitizer held in a person's hand, and the overall size certainly appears larger than an iPhone X part, while the relative size of the notch to the digitizer's width is slightly different than on the iPhone X. At least one rumor has, however, claimed the second-generation iPhone X could have a smaller notch, so we shouldn't necessarily expect the notch-to-display proportions to be the same between iPhone X generations.
The digitizer includes a flex cable at the bottom of the part for connecting to the iPhone's logic board, and the part number printed on the cable is similar to the format typically used by Apple.
An apparent date code also shown on the flex cable points to a production date in the 46th week of 2017, which would correspond to mid-November, so this isn't a particularly recent part although there could be substantial lag between digitizer production and the part's incorporation into a full display assembly.
The second photo shows a tray containing a set of four assembled display/digitizer components. Again, the size appears larger than the corresponding iPhone X part based on the relative size of the small earpiece slot visible on one of the parts. The rear design of the part is also very similar but not identical to the iPhone X display assembly.
Samsung is the exclusive supplier of OLED displays for the iPhone X, but previous rumors have indicated LG could become the supplier for the so-called iPhone X Plus this year, so the purported location of these photos at LG's plant in Vietnam fits with those rumors. Apple has reportedly invested billions of dollars to help LG get its OLED display production up and running to increase overall supplies and give Apple more flexibility in not needing to rely solely on Samsung.
Apple is rumored to be launching three new iPhones around the usual September timeframe this year: a second-generation iPhone X with the same 5.8-inch OLED display size, a larger "iPhone X Plus" with a 6.5-inch OLED display, and a new LCD-based model with a similar full-face display to the iPhone X design but measuring about 6.1 inches.

As a former Plus user, I opted for the bigger size due to camera improvements. I could see this go around that the X Plus having pencil support
Why not just add full phone capabilities to the iPad Pro and Mini? Not everyone carries a phone around in their pocket. Not that I would even want to carry a phone larger than 6" in my pocket. My 5s is bad enough.
Don't be that guy....the plus is typically 100 or so more than the regular. I paid 1256 for the regular 256 X. Do the math.
I bought the same model plus AC+ etc. Who knows, Apple may just surprise us, provided this rumor pans out.
I have a feeling the so called "iPhone Xs Plus" or whatever it is going to be called is going to be ridiculously expensive. I mean, Apple has no reason to drop the prices because both storage tiers of the iPhone X sold like crazy when first launched. So that tells Apple that people are willing to dish that kind of money out for an iPhone.
Obviously just a guess, but I would say the starting price will be around $1,400! Highest capacity $1,550? I cannot see them going around like $1,650 or $1,700...I do not think people will pay that much. I certainly would not.
Tim and time will tell.
I don’t think it will be anywhere near those prices. I believe the starting price for the “X Plus” will start somewhere around $1200.00 for a 64 GB model and then be offered at 256GB for the most expensive model. Time will tell though as you mentioned. But when you add Applecare and accessories, it could easily venture past $1300.00.
I wonder if it is too early to start a GoFundMe page for the new iPhone X plus (or "the precious", or whatever name Apple calls it).

Who needs pant pockets when you've got the iPhone XXX. If need be, get a heavy duty chain and carry it around your neck. Show the world your new suitcase-sized bling.
