On Monday, a report from Bloomberg adds new specifics to some well-established iPhone rumors already in circulation. According to Mark Gurman, who has a good track record on these things, the next generation flagship will be called the iPhone XS and will feature an upgraded processor and cameras and come in gold, gray and silver. A plus-sized version, the iPhone XS Max, will have a 6.5-inch display -- by far the largest screen Apple has used for a phone to date. And the company will introduce a (relatively) less expensive third version, which may be called the "iPhone XR," with a 6.1-inch LCD screen. 

That lines up with previous rumors, but Gurman notes that the "entry-level" 6.1-inch phone could have a starting price as high as $849. While that makes sense as a $50 premium over the 5.5-inch iPhone 8 Plus -- and it's less than the current $999 5.8-inch iPhone X -- it may well disappoint shoppers looking for an alternative to the $699 iPhone 8. Furthermore, Gurman notes that the 6.1-inch phone may be available in limited quantities to start.
