2018 6.5” OLED iPhone to be the same size as iPhone 8 Plus
Stories about three new iPhones in 2018 have been surfacing since November. Analysts expect all of them to ditch Touch ID for Face ID, and latest reports from Japanese sources give further information about the devices.

The report also sheds some light on the iOS 12 - Face ID is expected to work also in landscape mode which will be a step towards introducing the security tech for iPads.
The new iPhones will eventually come with more powerful batteries, manufactured by Unimicron, with the iPhone X Plus sporting a 3,300 mAh cell, the biggest one in an Apple smartphone yet.
