Apple\u2019s supersized new \u2018iPhone X Plus\u2019 is going to be massive\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">The ever-reliable MacRumors has attained photos from a \u201ctrial run of production equipment\u201d showing the construction of Apple\u2019s monstrous stablemate to the iPhone X. Notably in one shot, the size can clearly be seen far larger than the iPhone X. This is in-line with acclaimed analyst Ming-Chi Kuo who has repeatedly stated the \u2018iPhone X Plus\u2019 will have a 6.5-inch display, larger than any rival phone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Interestingly MacRumors notes both the flex cable shown in the photos and the part numbers align with existing formats \u201ctypically used by Apple\u201d while \u201cThe rear design of the part is also very similar but not identical to the iPhone X display assembly.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Adding further credibility is these photos allegedly come from LG\u2019s plant in Vietnam. This should raise suspicion since Samsung is the exclusive supplier of OLED panels for the iPhone X, but Apple reportedly invested almost $3BN dollars in LG last year to exclusively develop OLED panels for future iPhones in order to reduce reliance on Samsung. LG has a major display plant in, yes, Vietnam.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">So in short: while it is impossible to ever know if a leak is 100% reliable, the details here all add up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">That said, don\u2019t get excited about an early release for the iPhone X Plus. Apple does trial production runs far in advance of mass production and a date code on these photos indicates the trial took place during the 46th week of 2017, aka mid-November.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">That said, this all bodes well for Apple being far more <\/span>organised<span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\"> in 2018. In 2017 the iPhone X launch came weeks after the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, and supply was highly constrained at first due to mass production problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Interestingly, the iPhone X Plus will be just one of two large new iPhones this year. Another iPhone X-inspired but more budget-friendly 6.1-inch \u2018iPhone X SE\u2019 is scheduled to launch alongside the second generation iPhone X and iPhone X Plus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Bigger may not be better for every smartphone buyer. But if that is your feeling, Apple\u2019s vision for the iPhone means you may have to shop elsewhere\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt\">Source:-\u00a0https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/gordonkelly\/2018\/02\/25\/apple-iphone-x-plus-iphone-x-new-iphone-upgrade\/#58d46dae79d5<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/technology\/iphone-x-plus-leak-reveals-apples-massive-smartphone.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;iPhone X Plus&#8217; Leak Reveals Apple&#8217;s Massive Smartphone Yes, the leaks were right.
