'iPhone X Plus' Rumors and Leaks, Premium Apple Over-Ear Headphones, AirPower Charger Launching This Month? - MacRumors

Apple's 6.5-Inch 'iPhone X Plus' Said to Have 1242 x 2688 Resolution, Could Come With Dual-SIM and Gold Color Option We've been hearing for some time that Apple is planning to launch three new iPhones around its usual September timeframe: a second-generation iPhone X, a larger "iPhone X Plus," and a new 6.1-inch model with an LCD display. New details on the iPhone X Plus were revealed this week by Bloomberg, which claims the device's 6.5-inch display will carry a resolution of 1242 x 2688 and the phone may also offer dual SIM slots to make it more convenient for business users and international travelers who may use more than one carrier. Both the second-generation iPhone X and the iPhone X Plus may also be available in a gold color. Not only have we heard new rumors about the iPhone X Plus, but we've also seen some alleged leaked parts from the device including both the touch panel digitizer and the full display assembly. The leaked photos reportedly came from LG's facilities in Vietnam, which matches previous rumors that Apple is investing billions of dollars in LG's OLED display production with a focus on supplying parts for the iPhone X Plus.   Read Full Article Popular Stories Mar 01, 2018 KGI: Apple Developing High-End Over-Ear Headphones, Launching Late 2018 at the Earliest Apple's AirPods have been a smash hit, and according to relatively reliable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple is also working on premium over-ear headphones for launch as soon as the fourth quarter of this year. Details on these headphones are scant, but they're said to be high-end headphones that should be as convenient to use as AirPods but with better sound quality. The headphones would carry an Apple brand rather than Beats branding such as the existing Studio3 over-ear headphones. Kuo also echoes previous reports that Apple is working on updated AirPods for release later this year. Kuo says the new AirPods should look very similar to the current ones but carry an upgraded W1 chip for better wireless performance. The new earphones will also include integrated wireless charging in the case.   Read Full Article Apple's AirPower Wireless Charging Mat Could Be Available to Buy This Month Speaking of AirPods and wireless charging, several recent reports have claimed Apple's AirPower wireless charging mat could launch sometime this month. Announced at last September's iPhone media event, AirPower is an oval charging mat that allows users to charge an iPhone, an Apple Watch, and AirPods simultaneously. AirPods wireless charging support will require a new case to support the feature, which will be sold separately. Apple has not announced a release date for AirPower beyond a general "2018" timeframe, so there naturally has been a lot of speculation about just when in the year that might happen.   Read Full Article Apple Deals: The Best Deals on Apple Products and Accessories Our deals coverage has been getting a ton of traffic recently.
