“New photos claimed to be of the rumored 6.5-inch ‘iPhone X Plus’ screen and digitizer have been shared on the MacX forums, with the poster claiming the parts come from a ‘trial run of production equipment’ at LG’s facilities in Vietnam,” Eric Slivka reports for MacRumors.
“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,” Slivka reports. “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,” Slivka reports, “and the part number printed on the cable is similar to the format typically used by Apple.”

MacDailyNews Take: Regardless of the veracity of this leak, we do expect a larger OLED iPhone later this year. We continue to hope it’ll include Apple Pencil support (with a ProMotion display) and therefore carry the “Pro” moniker.
‘Twas readily discernible differentiation, and not just in screen size, but in camera hardware and features that has sold and continues to sell many Plus model iPhones. ProMotion – especially and naturally coupled with Apple Pencil support – would be a strong reason to choose iPhone X Plus, iPhone X Pro*, or whatever they name it.
*”Pro” means Apple Pencil support already, so it makes sense to use “Pro” for any iPhone with Apple Pencil support, too. – MacDailyNews, November 28, 2017

[iPhone X] is just such a great device, but Apple (likely very carefully and intentionally) made it just a bit too small for our taste (baking in the impetus to upgrade this year), so we’re very much looking forward to the rumored 6.5-inch “iPhone X Pro” said to be coming this fall. – MacDailyNews, January 2, 2018

Gosh MDN, you didn’t mention the unnoticeable notch.
No, but you did, fool.
Read it again MDM. I said UNNOTICEABLE. Maybe you haven’t been reading all the ‘takes’ properly. Idiot.
MDM can’t read and you can’t see.
I see that the ugliness continues.
I don’t want to have to carry a massive iPhone around with me or worry what size pockets I have. The iPhone X plenty big enough for my needs.
All this is fine an dandy but the only thing that will excite me enough to upgrade from my iPhone X is if the next model has long range wireless charging. But it might please the masses.
OH MY GOD IT’S BEAUTIFUL!
And amazingly thin.
And the new rectal display will allow the poop emoji to display a billion shades of brown.
Yeah, Indeed i also found out here http://tech360.asia/everything-need-know-rumors-new-iphone-2018/ the numerous feature to come from new iPhone this year 2018.
But I thought big screens for iPhones were a no, no by Steve Jobs? I guess he was WRONG or Tim Cook is WRONG, or they’re ditching the US market for the China Market. That’s okay, because that has always been Apple’s strategy: Exploit whoever and whenever! HA!
Thought that was what all companies did, only the degree varies. As for big screens isn’t that comment about 3 years too late.
I and almost all my friends like the size of the iPhone X, but apparently it didn’t sell well in China, because of the small screen. So now the 2017 iPhone X is going to have the same fate as the poopy iPhone C (what a mistake of a phone!). Just for the China market they want to make these giant “Samsung” like size iPhone X. We will have no choice but to buy these phones that are like putting a piece of toast by your face!
Right on Ruffie! Tim “Greedy” Crook is at his financial shenanigans again!!!
I think it looks revolutionary! How did they manage to make the phone transparent though?? Are there cameras behind the phone that create that transparency effect? Really cool.
It’s gonna be great.
Meh… Waiting for NOTCHO-LIBRE.
** that was sarcasm. I have iPhone X and I love it.
