iPhone 9 and iPhone X Plus shown off in new leaked videos: What we know so farJuly 2 (AZINS) Apple is preparing to release three new smartphones later this year, including the largest iPhone ever, a device that may have a bigger display than arch-rival Samsung's flagship phone. While the first two devices will cater to the high-end market, the third one might be a new TFT-LCD model which could possibly be the most affordable iPhone from the group. 

Now, a new report has surfaced online with shared videos and photos claiming to be the purported iPhone 9 and iPhone X Plus. Tipster Shai Mizrachi shared these details with 9to5Mac which show two dummy devices (iPhone 9 and iPhone X Plus) in phone cases. Based on the videos, the iPhone 9 sports a 6.1-inch edge-to-edge display with a notch and a single rear camera towards the back. This model is expected to be priced slighter cheaper compared to others models, at $700, as it adopts an LCD-TFT display.

Secondly, the purported iPhone X Plus is held next to the iPhone 7 Plus, and comparatively, sports a shorter and narrower form factor. This model will most likely feature a 6.5-inch AMOLED display with a notch. It will also be the most expensive iPhone, with a price tag of over $1000.

Reports suggest that the iPhone maker is already running production tests with suppliers and is expected to announce the new phones later this year. However, the plans could still change.

Apple is also preparing an update to the regular-sized iPhone X, adding that the phones are expected to use next-generation A12 processors and will continue to include stainless steel edges and will be Apple's high-end smartphone offerings. What remains unclear is whether Apple will also cut any current iPhone models from its lineup. The company has kept older models like the iPhone SE - essentially an updated iPhone 5 - on shelves to an unprecedented degree, providing lower-priced offerings for developing markets like India.

Apple has also embraced the used iPhone market as a way to expand its share of smartphone users. When customers sell their old iPhone for a new one, the old iPhone "winds up with another customer somewhere else that is perfectly fine with having a previously owned iPhone," CEO Tim Cook told investors on an earnings call in February this year.
