More leaks ahead of the Apple announcements. iPhone XS Max, hmm? I don’t need a new phone, but curious to see the size of this one in the real world.

@manton At least we're avoiding naming like the old potential of the Macintosh SE X.

@sku\_b That's true! (Still surprised the iPhone SE never got an upgrade this year.)

@manton Yeah, same. I still know a lot of people that like that smaller form factor.

@sku\_b @manton I have an SE and want to upgrade. I'll probably go for the Xs but would have loved an iPhone SE X (apart from all the suggested content issues that would have caused). Also I think the lack of iPhone SE replacement shows that not all rumours are worth listening to.

@manton What do you think of the names? iPhone XS Max will surely be pronounced excess max by most people, and that sounds really tacky.

@manton @sku\_b @arne what if the “max” is just a replacament for “+”. That would make the most sense to me, but who knows 🤷‍♂️

@arne Agreed. I'm trying not to complain too much, but I think the 8 vs. X (and futile "10" pronunciation) has created new confusion.

@ChrisJWilson @manton Well, a phone with that name would certainly put an extra snap in my step. 😁

@Bruce @manton I'm sure it would sell well too.

@ChrisJWilson Yeah, I generally try to ignore the rumors the best I can. I want to be surprised, but I also want to know what direction Apple is actually going in.

@sku\_b I know what you mean. I don’t want to know rumours...also I totally want to know rumours.

@sku\_b i'm one of them
