It's funny, in Asia it seems like 90% of the women have a plus
Technically it is a leak since in reality we were all not supposed to know that Apple is planning to bring the 6.5 inch and 6.1 inch iPhones to begin with.
[doublepost=1532920192][/doublepost]Personally I see that in September there will be an extremely high demand for the iPhone Xs Plus even more so than the 6.1 version. Good luck for all of use to find the Plus on launch day. Welcome back to 2014!
No one is paying enough money for a leaked photo of a Mac Mini to warrant the involved risk of taking a photo. The iPhone has a much bigger following, and a leak drives lots of traffic to a site that has the images first.
This guy gets it. I 100% support your tier system for the phones. And I also think the 849 base price for the normal iphone is a bit more reasonable. Unfortunately I doubt that will happen. The 999 price tag on the normal phone is likely to stay and the plus model will likely start at 1099 or 1149. I wish apple would make me a liar.

Oh, you mean that miniature small screen iPhone they used to do? Guess what? It have been replaced by the Apple Watch cecular

I think people (not all though) in general are meant to be picky and moan no matter what,
I am not a phone case fan but the iPhone X only gets out of the silikon case when I clean it. To expensive not to have a case.
I really don't remember any time I have typed on the phone while it was on a table. I hardly do that on iPad either.
That being said, they should find away to flatten that. If anything, it just does look better from the design point of view. If Samsung can do it, I am sure Apple can too.

Speak for yourself. Not everyone wants what you want.
And if you think Apple is going to put back something they remove from a hardware, well then you simply must be kidding yourself. They are not Samsung.

If the shatter proof screen is any good Apple will pay for it to be in their phones. Samsung will probably have first dibs on it though.It is a boring design because it's the same as before. Just a boring square, shiny slab. The only hope Apple has is that old phones will lose their sheen through micro scratches, cracked screens, ugly cases and battery issues. Of course all of that was baked into the design in the first place.
As for caseless phones, over at Android there are heaps of phones that are fine caseless, and likely the next generation with the shatterproof screen design we'll be there with flagship Samsungs.

If you leave Apple, she will become your X forever
That's all we need & want. A smart phone is a tool, nothing more & nothing less.
It's only ever going to be a variation on a rectangular sheet of glass. The materials and colours used can make it more or less attractive but there is no reinventing the wheel here.
I'd suggest you look into other brands of phones to find the type of device you want.
iPhone 4 was the best design. 5 was close second. Make them without bezel and home button and they will go like hot cakes.
Well the only devices that are on 326 PPI are iPhone SE / 6 / 7 / 8.
The closest thing I got was 1810 x 833, same 19.5:9 ratio as iPhone X. 326 PPI on 6.1". This kind of sucks as it is not even 2K resolution ( By pixel count ).
Sad to see just one camera on the LCD model, it seems to confirm the rumours. Even if I'm not a fan of portrait mode I find myself using the zoom lens really often so I don't feel like losing that feature. I'm ok with my 8+ but I'd like a smaller phone so I guess X2 or XS of whatever they're going to call the next 5.8'' will be my choice.
The + size looks as awkwardly tall as last years Note did. I fiddled around a bit with it but found it awkward for most things. If it has a different aspect ratio, how will all the apps, games, etc. be managed? Letterboxing? weirdly proportioned stuff? or a separate layout?
I was going to make a similar comment, but you beat me to it! Nice!
I really loved my iPhone 6, I upgraded to the 7 Plus after 2 years and hated the phone. That made me upgrade again when the IPhone X came out and tbh I still miss the 6. I liked how thin and light it was (even the 6s feelS fat compared). The notch really doesn’t bother me btw so when you do upgrade I wouldn’t worry to much.
I think I’m going to ride my contract out for my iPhone X (14 months left) and then try keep the phone till there’s is a huge camera breakthrough. I would love to be able to keep this iPhone for 3/4 years.
better than having the entire back of the iPhone scratched.
seriously, my iPhone 5 was completely scratched on the back but my iPhone 6+ had ZERO backside scratches.
It should not really come as a surprise that the iPhone X Plus and the other one 6.1 keep the same aspect ratio as the current iPhone X. They may be wider then current iPhone X a bit but that's because they are taller too. Aspect ratio would be identical. And I am absolutely fine with that personally.
The SE is dead. Don’t be like one of those hopeless MacBook Air fools. It’s not coming back.
Exactly - I already have an iPad and iPad Mini, I'm well ahead of this "always bigger" game, the phones will catch up around 2025 I expect... Now, back to pocketable, one-handed use "mobile" phones please? Oh, what's that? Manufacturers have confused budget with small size? Ah well, will have to stay with the old SE and save my $1000 or so, meh.

Many people just want a decent portable, one-handed use smartphone with modern tech, the Macbook Air didn't have much advantage over a standard laptop, the SE definitely has benefits over larger phones.
[doublepost=1532943880][/doublepost]
Because the current "baby iPhone" is behind on tech and has a very old screen-to-body ratio. So if Apple judge the market by the SE there itself is the problem. An SE sized phone with larger screen and current tech cameras etc would probably sell very well indeed judging by the percentage of iPhone users I know still desperately holding on to their 4S/5/SE's and WANTING to get an upgrade that isn't massive.
When Apple fired Jobs one of their biggest problems was they’re vast product range. Instead of focusing on some core products and making them incredible, they watered down their resources and ended up with crappy products. The first thing Jobs did when he came back to Apple was cut their product line. They focused on some killer products and look what happened. Now we have iPhones to fit every possible size, “smart” speakers, a tv production company, millions spent on building a bloody car... I could go on but it just feels like history repeating itself. I really like Cook but this approach is worrying.
Under Cook Apple have become one of the most valuable companies on the planet. His job is ensure Apple make money - that's it.
They don't need to cut their product lines. There's nothing confusing about anything Apple manufactures or any of their services.
If people are unsure on what iPhone to buy next, then Apple have actually done their homework by giving people a choice! If people want budget options then get a iPhone 7 on a 24 month contract. If you want the latest & greatest get an iPhone X or 8. It's so simple.
