Apple should really start selling purses so people can carry these wannabe tablets around more easily.

That is a good idea for the ladies. I don't see myself carrying any European man-purse.
They could just blend it in with the menu bar so wouldn't affect anything, just keep all menu bar items on one side and have icons etc on the other side of notch.
iPad is just a over blown version of the iPhone. Until it has macos it will always be limited
This was my impression. I love the Plus sized phones but the X is fulfilling the need for me to have a +. Love the X
I’m torn. I think I’d enjoy the Plus model, but I wish I could see it in person before preorders start in September. I guess if the Keynote announcement gives me a good enough idea of its size in one’s hand, that’ll work.
And my wife actually just got me a man purse (or satchel, as I call it) a week ago (for my iPad and stuff), so I might be prepared for this one.
It would be interesting if the Plus shared certain features with the iPad, like it could use the Pencil, do the same multitasking and download iPad versions of apps. Not sure that it would be a game changer, but it would be pretty cool nonetheless. Maybe it would replace the iPad Mini in a way, if that line gets discontinued for good.

I'm like 95 % sure you're wrong.
And maybe 75 % sure that we'll see devices called "iPhone X (2nd generation)" and "iPhone X Plus", and that there'll never be an "iPhone 9"
Either he has tiny hands or it is massive!, My X doesn't even reach my little finger if held the same as in that picture!
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.

[doublepost=1519590127][/doublepost]I had a Plus and was a bit disappointed when I found out there wouldn’t be a Plus model for the X. Now that I got the X, I’m happy with its size. It feels about perfect. There are times I’m using one hand and I’m happy I don’t have to deal with something larger.
That said, we’ll see how it looks, maybe I’ll transition, as I did when the Plus originally came out. Nothing I’m going to jump on too quickly though, will wait it out 2 years.

Lackluster sales? Most companies would give several C level executives for the sales that Apple does every quarter.
It’s for people who like the larger sized iPhones. Would it surprise you to know it’ll be the same physical size as the current Plus?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.
lol at “flop”—don’t let rumors or Apple hate get in the way of facts.
The X was a huge hit, raising iPhone ASP to a record $795.
The 2018 X will be priced at $899-949, and the X Plus somewhere in the $999-1,099 range. They’ll sell very well; I wouldn’t be surprised if both models didn’t each outsell the 2017 X. Q1F2019 will again be a record breaking quarter.

Yeah, and in my opinion, that looks terrible compared to the notch. The top and bottom bezels are asymmetric. And the placement of all of the holes for the various sensors and lenses just looks haphazard and much less elegant.
Stop increasing the sizes!!
Apple's infatuation with bigger screens and thinner phones at the cost of features will be its undoing.

Steve would be very unhappy. He didn't believe in having so many sku's.

Why? All of a sudden people want to see a notch on everything?
The notch was/is an undesirable design compromise to get rid of touchid for an edge to edge display. It is not a feature, like touchid, that should migrate to other products.

How cute. All those sensors at the top must mean Samsung has some really high tech facial recognition hardware...
I don't think customers would appreciate going back to a bigger bezel, either.
And what do you mean by "back", there has never been more vertical screen real estate.
