If you’re wondering what Apple’s upcoming iPhones will look like, we can probably give you a pretty good idea. 

Leaker of phone-related things, Ben Geskin, has shared dummy model photos of the 6.1-inch and 6.5-inch iPhones, which Apple is rumored to launch in the fall. 

The models don’t show anything particularly surprising. The 6.1-inch iPhone (which is rumored to be the “budget” iPhone in Apple’s 2018 lineup), is black, has a notched screen and a single rear camera. The top-of-the-line 6.5-inch variant is shown in white and has a dual rear camera. 

The two phones are shown side-by-side (both flat on a surface and in a human hand), giving us a pretty good idea of their size (for comparison, the iPhone X has a 5.8-inch screen). 

The third phone Apple is rumored to launch this year, the 5.8-inch iPhone, isn’t shown, but it’s likely to be more or less identical to the current iPhone X. 

The dummy models, by themselves, don’t really mean much — they’re typically just empty plastic shells that someone created based on the rumors and/or schematics that are already out there. In May 2017, Geskin has shown photos of the “iPhone8” dummy model, months before the launch, and while the name was wrong — that phone was in fact called the iPhone X — the look was pretty close to the real thing. 

Apple will likely launch the three iPhones this fall. The 5.8-inch and the 6.5-inch variants will be more expensive and will both sport dual rear cameras and an OLED screen, while the 6.1-inch version will be cheaper, with a single rear camera and an LCD screen.
