Apple's May Name Its New Smartphones the iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Max, and iPhone Xr [Bloomberg]

Apple may name its three new iPhones the iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Max, and iPhone Xr, reports Bloomberg.

The iPhone Xs name was leaked by Apple alongside an image of its next generation OLED smartphones; however, there has been speculation on whether the larger 6.5-inch OLED iPhone will have a retain the 'Plus' moniker.

Bloomberg says, "To signify the even larger screen, Apple is likely to give the phone a new name: 'iPhone Xs Max,' according to people familiar with Apple’s internal deliberations."


Additionally, the site has learned that Apple considered naming its 6.1-inch LCD iPhone model, the 'iPhone Xr'.

The third phone, a new low-cost version of the iPhone X, could be the hit of the product roll out. It’ll have a roughly 6.1-inch screen with LCD instead of newer OLED technology. It will also use aluminum instead of stainless steel edges, and come in several additional colors. Apple has considered calling the phone the "iPhone Xr," one of the people said.

We've previously heard the 'iPhone Xr' name rumored, alongside the 'iPhone Xc'.

Apple will officially unveil its new iPhones on September 12th at a 'Gather round' special event. Please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.
