These 2018 iPhone mockups just got compared to last year's devices (VIDEO)
Apple’s plans to release three iPhone models this year is far from one of the best-kept secrets in the industry, with everything from the number of units ordered to the exact size of the display’s slowly becoming public knowledge. Now, though, thanks to the power of 3D printing, real-life mock-ups of the upcoming trio have appeared in a hands-on video.
According to the blog that posted the video, the precise dimensions of Apple’s smartphones begun floating around in the past few weeks, allowing exact 3D models to be created. Starting with the upcoming 5.8-inch iPhone X, the details reveal a height of 143.65mm, matching that of last year’s flagship. When it comes to the width, however, 72.03mm is listed, suggesting this year’s offering will be slightly wider. Despite this, though, an iPhone X case apparently fits the mock-up version perfectly, implying the increased dimensions may be related to the button height. In regards to the larger iPhone X Plus, this model will apparently match the size of the iPhone 8 Plus pretty closely. In fact, it may even be slightly easier to hold. After all, despite the new device being 1mm taller at 157.53mm, Apple has managed to shave 1mm of its width, lowering the number to 77.44mm.
