Top 14 iPhone 9 and iPhone XI rumors
There is little time left for Apple's special event in September and that means new iPhone models should be unveiled. As always, the company's new premium smartphone model is expected to be officially announced, but it is not yet known what it will look like. Some believe it to be an iPhone 9, an iPhone XI or even both. To know the main rumors about the iPhone 9 and iPhone XI, just check our list below.

As we mentioned, the announcement of Apple's new flagship smartphone is expected in September this year. This is the month the company always makes its most important announcements, so there's not much mystery about it.
2. Face ID
The presence of Face ID on the new handset is not yet fully guaranteed. If iPhone X is a success, it is likely to have the feature and be further enhanced.
If you are a successor to iPhone 9, you may have an older technology similar to iPhone X to avoid big costs. Anyway, it is expected that the technology will be mentioned at the event.
3. Price
There are big rumors about the price of new iPhones, including one that says the successor of the iPhone X would be much cheaper than we saw last year.
Instead of costing $ 999, the device can cost between 800 and 900 dollars. If the company shows the iPhone 9, it should continue with the base price between $ 600 and $ 700.
4. Design
Regardless of the model shown, it is quite difficult to make any major differences from what was shown last year. As always, Apple should make slight changes and enhancements to the design of its iPhone models.
5. Name
One of the biggest questions about the new iPhones has to do with their future names. Because Apple broke the pattern last year, no one else knows what to expect from the company.
There are rumors of the following names for now: iPhone 8S, iPhone 9, iPhone X2 and iPhone XI. Anyway, we'll only find out the real names in September.
6. Size
Like the name, the size of the new smartphones remains a mystery, but rumors are likely that there will be no iPhone 9 Plus if the successor of iPhone X is announced.
If the new iPhone X were actually cheaper than last year, it could easily take the Plus version as it would be larger and in the same price range. This would be a good way to ensure the sale of two different lines at the same time.
7. Screen
No matter what models are advertised, the main rumors about their screens say they shouldn't change much. This makes sense if we consider that Apple takes a long time to improve the resolution of its device displays.
This makes it possible for iPhone 9 to have at most one Full HD screen and the successor of iPhone X to have something similar or slightly better to compete with the Galaxy S9.
8. Touch ID
Many missed Touch ID on iPhone X last year, but rumors say it should stay out of its successor as well.
Still, we may see it on the iPhone 9, because its design still allows a button on the front of the device.
9. Colors
Apple has been offering their iPhones in different colors for a long time, but that was not the case last year. The iPhone X has only a space gray and silver version, while the iPhone 8 can be found in silver, gray, gold and red (limited edition).
This year, Apple may follow the same strategy, but it is expected that there will be at least one new color for the successor of the iPhone X. The biggest bet is that the device gets a gold version.
10. Earphone
Apple has long since abandoned the traditional headphone jack, so there is virtually no hope that the company will go back this time. Neither iPhone 9 or iPhone XI should have this entry.
11. Specifications
For now, not much is known about future specifications of the iPhone 9 and iPhone XI. Both are expected to have more powerful new chips and at least 3 GB of RAM. Storage should vary between 64 GB and 128 GB versions.
In addition, following the pattern of previous models, it is expected that the new iPhones also do not have support for SD cards, ie not allowing their customers to increase storage space.
12. Release
With the announcement for September, the iPhone 9 may be released in the same month or October at the latest. Already the successor of iPhone X can follow the same path or be released later this year, as happened last year.
Considering that iPhone XI wouldn't be as big a news as X was in 2017, it's possible that it will launch quickly.
13. Availability
As always, new iPhones are expected to be available sooner in the United States and some other countries in the first weeks and months of their release.
Of course he should arrive in Brazil eventually, but it usually takes 1-3 months to happen. Since the iPhone 8 did not take so long last year, this may be repeated in 2018.
14. Wireless Charging
As wireless charging was finally added to the iPhone 8 and iPhone X last year, it would be almost impossible for them not to appear again on the new models in 2018.
It's possible that the technology is even better on iPhone 9 and iPhone XI, whether it's charging even faster or more compatible charger types.
