They changed the name of the "Plus" to the "Max". They released an iPhone 7 and a 7 Plus. It is the same concept, only marketed differently.



Point is that the 8+ to the Xs max is a complete redesign if you look at it that way. It's an entirely new phone, it's not incremental.

Now the X to Xs is incremental, as usual with the "s" lineup. Going forward I expect they'll be on the same schedule so the next "s" round may be an incremental upgrade for the Max/whatever line.

Further, you're wrong about the Xr. It has a bigger screen than the X, not smaller. Yes the internals are lower spec'd- but don't compare it to the Xs. Compare it to the 8+. That's the model and pricepoint it's replacing. When compared to the 8+, it's a significant change.


It's smaller than the XS.

Also, nothing is replacing the 8+.....It appears to me that Apple is still selling the 7 and the 8 lines.

lol. Xs is 5.8 inch screen. Xr is 6.1 inches.

Xr is stepping into the old pricepoint of the 8+.

the Xr isn't anything incremental. it's a new model, which blends the lower pricepoint with the newer edge to edge design.

It’s either Xr or xs max for me, unless I can find a killer deal on an X

I pre approved for the Gold Xs. I usually hate those gold phones but this one caught my attention for some reason.

I don't have the specs in front of me, but is the width of the Xs the same width as the Xs Max or whatever it is called?

X to Xs, probably not. The S models are rarely big enough changes to warrant an upgrade after just a year. I can see considering an Xs Max though for the larger screen.

Remember when the choices were the 7 for small or 7s for large?

I'm lost with the new chemical equation phone names.

How do you get “pre-approved”

I don’t want to wake up at 2am to order a fricking phone. What’s the easiest way to do it? If I wait til Friday morning will there be a backlog of orders?
