As you can see from the pictures above, the 6.5-inch iPhone X Plus is slightly bigger than the current 5.8-inch iPhone X and the 5.5-inch iPhone 8 Plus. This feat is achieved by using an edge-to-edge display with minimal bezels. The iPhone X Plus is expected to be slightly thicker due to the "mounting form of the rear camera".
Contrary to earlier reports that the LCD iPhone model will have a 6.1-inch display, Macotakara said that the LCD iPhone model will have a slightly smaller display at 6.0-inches. The Japanese site added that the LCD iPhone will come with Face ID.
The successor of the iPhone X will retain the same display size, but could sport a bigger camera sensor and lens.
As for iOS 12, Macotakara believes Apple will add support for horizontal Face ID unlock. At the moment, Face ID can only work in portrait orientation.
