Apple may be mum on its plans for this year's iPhone lineup but that does not stop curious fans from digging into the beta software and hunt for design details.
9to5 Mac's Guilherme Rambo combed through the iOS 12 beta 5 version and found the reference to an even larger iPhone X Plus model. Rambo shared images of the icons for the intended model through his Twitter handle, drawing comparisons between the iPhone X, iPhone X Plus, and the iPad.
The iconography was found in the PassKitUIFoundation. It is not the first such revelation about the upcoming features and design of the future iPhone. Recently, Apple accidentally included details about the upcoming models in the iOS 12 beta release. If one goes by the icons shared by Rambo, the iPhone X Plus will be taller and slightly wider than the existing iPhone X. The famous notch retains its position on the top.
In addition to the revelation about the iPhone X Plus, another interesting information to arrive out of the icons is the possibility of a bezel-less iPad. Now, it remains to be seen how many of these leaks hold true when Apple officially takes to stage to announce its next line of expensive hardware.
Recently, Apple became the first $1 trillion publicly listed U.S. company, crowning a decade-long rise fueled by its ubiquitous iPhone that transformed it from a niche player in personal computers into a global powerhouse spanning entertainment and communications. Started in the garage of co-founder Steve Jobs in 1976, Apple has pushed its revenue beyond the economic outputs of Portugal, New Zealand and other countries. Along the way, it has changed how consumers connect with one another and how businesses conduct daily commerce.
He launched the iPhone in 2007, dropping "Computer" from Apple's name and super-charging the cellphone industry, catching Microsoft Corp, Intel Corp, Samsung Electronics and Nokia off guard. That put Apple on a path to overtake Exxon Mobil in 2011 as the largest U.S. company by market value. During that time, Apple evolved from selling Mac personal computers to becoming an architect of the mobile revolution with a cult-like following.
Jobs, who died in 2011, was succeeded as chief executive by Tim Cook, who has doubled the company's profits but struggled to develop a new product to replicate the society-altering success of the iPhone, which has seen sales taper off in recent years.
