Apple To Reportedly Sell Biggest iPhone Ever, 3 Versions Coming This Year

Apple’s iPhones have been steadily growing in size even as they have been getting thinner over the years with each new iteration. The company is reportedly planning on releasing three new versions of its mobile devices this year and one of them could be the biggest iPhone yet. Apparently, a cheaper version of the iPhone X is going to be released too with all the features intact.

These details come via sources familiar with the Cupertino firm’s plans, telling Bloomberg of the upcoming devices. It would appear that Apple is already putting suppliers through the ringer in order to prepare for production of the new phones. The company could then make the announcement in the fall of this year, though, this is also subject to change.

In any case, Apple really needs to step it up this time, especially with the iPhone X performing poorer than the company expected. Reception for the most expensive iPhone ever was fine, but it hasn’t sold as well as investors might have hoped.

By offering an iPhone with the same features as the $1,000 device but without the substantial price tag, Apple could rekindle interest in its smartphones among consumers turned off by the iPhone X. As for the supposed biggest iPhone ever, the screen size is reportedly going to be 6.5 inches or thereabouts.

If proven true, this would make that particular iPhone a Phablet in the eyes of many people, which would give it a certain level of appeal to a specific segment of the population. This is likely the point to the version, with the Cupertino firm intending to give as many options to consumers to fulfill their specialized needs as possible.

As expected, Apple has not responded to requests for comments on this particular issue, Business Insider reports. Fans of the company will just have to wait until this fall to hear anything about these new devices.
