“Apple has considered the name ‘iPhone Xs Max’ for the larger 6.5-inch version, according to two sources familiar with Apple’s marketing plans,” Zac Hall reports for 9to5Mac. “Bloomberg has previously reported that Apple has considered dropping the “Plus” label for this year’s larger version.”

“A report from Macerkpof cites sources who claim to know the pricing for the upcoming iPhone lineup. Pricing rumors are always sketchy so take this for what it’s worth, but the site reports that the sources have been reliable in the past,” Benjamin Mayo reports for 9to5Mac. “Their pricing indicates that the 6.1-inch LCD iPhone will cost around $699. The iPhone Xs would be in the $800 range (seemingly taking the spot of the iPhone 8 Plus which retails for $799).”
“These are the prices Macerkopf reports: LCD ‘iPhone 9’: 799 euros; iPhone Xs: 909 euros; iPhone Xs Max: 1149 euros,” Mayo reports. “If you look at the current German Apple Store, the company sells the iPhone 8 today for 799 euros, the iPhone 8 Plus for 909 euros and the iPhone X for 1149 euros. So using these benchmarks, you can see how the reported pricing would line up in the US.”
“The iPhone 9 (name still unclear at this point) would approximately cost $699 (current iPhone 8 price), the iPhone Xs would be $799 (current iPhone 8 Plus) and the new 6.5-inch iPhone Xs Max would be $999 (taking the spot the iPhone X took last year).”

If Apple does indeed execute such aggressive pricing, there are going to be plenty of Android settlers upgrading to real iPhones very soon!

Iphone Xs Max In time for Xmas… .
Not a cool moniker …imo
How about just iPhone MaX?
That’s what I thought also.
I respectfully suggest: iPhone Kick S
A Kick-S iPhone. I like it!
It’ll be fun to see how long it takes Samsung to introduce the Galaxy SX Max
How about iPhone Xs Max Pro Limited Edition?
Followed up a year later by the iPhone Xs Max Pro Limited Edition Advanced?
Haha
Followed by
iPhone Xs Max Pro Limited Edition Advanced S
And then the iPhone Xs Max Pro Limited Edition Advanced S Ultra Plus!
Microsoftian in the Xtreme
😂😂😂
I agree…the “iPhone Xs Max” name is terrible. What kind of idiots does Apple have in marketing nowadays?
Apple products should have simple names – even the Macintosh is shortened to “Mac.”
PowerMac
Mac
iMac
iPod
iPhone
iPhone #/#S
iPhone C
iPad
iPad mini
MacBook
MacBook Pro
MacBook Air
Mac mini
iHome
AirPod
Keep it simple, Apple. Keep it simple. A product name should flow off of the tongue. In the end, this is simply another generation of the iPhone.
I mistakenly included iHome in the list – that was from another manufacturer. I should have included HomePod.
You’re comment assumes this rumour is true. I highly doubt anyone at Apple ever considered such a ridiculous moniker, as your list clearly shows, Apple is a little more savvy with their marketing.
All that to say I’m hoping theres an update for the SE, and the rumour Im starting is it will be the SEx. Apple had this opportunity with the SE30 and blew it!
jk
Ought to just stick with “Plus”. Everyone already knows what that means in iPhone parlance.
🤮
At least it will be a great iPhone. Never mind the ridiculous name.
What about something simple like SeX?
terrible name
How about the iPad MiniPhone with Touch Bar and psychographic profile recognition?
Steve Jobs would have hated the name – would have made them simplify their naming.
Are you kidding??? I really think if this happens, somebody at Apple has gone off the deep end.
Surprised we didn’t hear about the Max iPad
