Apple inadvertently leaks images of new 'iPhone XS'
Ahead of the upcoming September 12th event, Apple seems to have inadvertently leaked images of a pair of unreleased iPhones as well as their name -- the iPhone XS.
These images seemingly confirm the existence of two OLED models, likely a 5.8-inch iPhone X successor and a larger 6.5-inch "plus" version. According to 9to5Mac who shared the images, both models will be called iPhone XS.
In the images, we also see a new gold color that was rumored to be true earlier this year. The controversial notch also appears to be sticking around, as expected.
It isn't clear where the images originated, and AppleInsider could not authenticate them. However, the current theory is that Apple had a video stream running with images of the unreleased products.
Looking at the press invites for Apple's event, the gold color of the invite could now be seen as teasing the upcoming new iPhone color option.
Be sure to check out AppleInsider's report on what to expect alongside the new iPhone XS at Apple's September 12th event.

I'm guessing Apple just streamed some marketing videos for unreleased products on a testing feed that they thought nobody was watching? Oops

What is Apple going to do Next year for numbers? I get the XS, it makes sense going from past phones, which means the larger 6.5" version would be XS Plus. The cheaper LCD version. Is Apple going to call it a 8S? Or a 9? Either next year or the year after, they would hit X (10) which they already had a few years prior at that point.
Which is why they should do away with numbers. Why does Apple even need numbers? Apple no longer has numbers on their iPad's. It's either the iPad or the 10.5 or 12.9" iPad Pro. The 2015 version or the 2018 version. Numbers seems redundant.
Why not iPhone, iPhone Pro, and iPhone Pro+, with a iPhone SE if they do another small iPhone in the future. It is the Special Edition after all.
MS doesn't number the Xbox. Its Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. Where as Sony is doing the numbers. How original. It's not like Apple releases new iPhones 2 times a year. It's Once a year like a new Car. They don't number car's, it's just model year.
i find it hard to believe that Shiller’s Marketing team, who told Gruber that they spent a LOT of time on the iPhone X name, wouldn’t notice this problem. Not so bad in isolation. Pronouncing X as ten isn’t a disaster, but pronouncing Xs as ezcess would be.
as they said on the podcast, Samsung would have a ball with Xs in their Ads. Why would Apple give them that fat target?
it will surely be interesting to find out what Apple decided.
XS 6.5”
X 5.8”
6.1”?
base on the picture, these could be 6.5” and 6.1” there!
I wasn’t thinking of upgrading again this year, but now I’m thinking, new phones for the three of us. Two new iPad pros, and two watches. Hey, Apple’s doing ok!
I’m really beginning to hate Xs already, and we don’t even know if it’s the official name yet.
samsung, as usual with their Ads, will play this as a derisive thing.
so as an Apple user, you might not mind it, but this will be aimed at those on the fence, and it could dissuade some from buying the product. Certainly, the jokes will be all over.
