It’s the leaks that make life a bit more interesting.
Noted leaker Ben Geskin has published a series of images showing colorful “iPhone Xc” trays, the images indicating that the upcoming handset will come in red, blue, and brown in addition to more conventional space gray and silver options,. The images were also separately uploaded to China’s Weibo, though that post now appears to be inaccessible.
The images are generally consistent with supposed rear casings for the “Xc,” which might alternately be called the “iPhone Xr.”
The iPhone is forecast to be a 6.1-inch LCD model, cheaper than the OLED-based “iPhone XS” line. It should nevertheless share some features in common, such as an edge-to-edge display and Face ID.
In years past, the iPhone 5c was able to branch out from its normal color options, having models available in white, green, blue, yellow, and a salmon-shaded red. Since the iPhone 6 the company has typically stuck with variations of space gray, silver, and gold, the exception being (PRODUCT)RED charity models.
The SIM trays are apparently double-sided, and, per Geskin, can fit a SIM card on each side. This would allow at least some of this year’s iPhones will be dual-SIM devices, able to switch carriers on the fly.
Apple is scheduled to announce its new iPhones at a Sept. 12 press event, which will be live-streamed starting at 10 a.m. Pacific time, or 1 p.m. Eastern.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
