It’s an odd path for Apple to take, considering it normally uses the « Plus » moniker to differentiate its bigger iPhones from smaller ones.
We at Pocket-lint write about tech for a living, and even we are confused about the next iPhone’s name. We’ve seen so many iterations at this point, from iPhone X2 to iPhone XS, and now, thanks to a new report, we’ve been treated to the latest supposed name: iPhone XS Max.
Apple is thought to be releasing two new OLED iPhone X-like devices this year: a refreshed 5.8-inch model, which might be called iPhone XS, and a 6.5-inch version, which we now know should be called the iPhone XS Max, according to anonymous sources speaking to 9to5Mac.

But now rivals like Samsung now also use « + », so we guess the move does make sense for Apple. In addition to the new name, the iPhone XS Max will reportedly come with a larger battery and improved internal specs like a new A12 processor and 4GB of RAM. For more rumours and leaks and reports concerning the next iPhone models, three of which might debut on 12 September, see Pocket-lint’s round-up here.
Apple will officially announce its latest products next week, and Pocket-lint will be there to bring you the latest as it happens.
