Bigger iPhone 9 Plus could accompany Apple's iPhone 9, iOS 14 code suggests
The iPhone 9 is one of the most highly anticipated smartphones of 2020. Now, 9To5Mac has discovered evidence which suggests Apple is working on a larger ‘iPhone 9 Plus’ variant as part of a lineup designed to replace the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.
It will probably look like the iPhone 8 Plus
Snippets of early iOS 14 code indicate that the so-called iPhone 9 Plus is going to feature the A13 Bionic chipset, just like the smaller iPhone 9. This chipset is used inside the iPhone 11 and will undoubtedly provide a huge performance boost for iPhone 6 and iPhone 7 owners, which are the target demographic.
When will the iPhone 9 Plus arrive?
That means consumers shouldn’t expect to see the larger iPhone 9 Plus until June at the very earliest either.
In regards to pricing, Apple typically charges $100 more for Plus or Max-branded models, which suggests the iPhone 9 Plus with 64GB of storage will hit shelves for $499. A pricier $549 model with 128GB of storage could also be in the works, as is the case with the smaller device.
