2019 iPhones Won't Have 'iPhone' on the Back According to So-Called Foxconn WorkerWe're likely less than a month away from a trio of new iPhones, and ahead of time, an anonymous user claiming to be a Foxconn factory worker in China has
shared alleged details about the upcoming devices on Chinese question-and-answer site Zhihu. The list was posted July 30 and
surfaced on Slashleaks today.

While many of the details in the list have already been rumored, or at the very least sound plausible, this information is unverified and obviously could be faked. In other words, keep your expectations in check.
Starting with design, the alleged Foxconn worker claims at least one of the new iPhones will be available in an all-new new dark green color. This lines up with a previous report from Japanese blog
Mac Otakara that claimed the
next iPhone XR will be available in new green and lavender finishes.
The rear glass is said to have a matte appearance, in line with analyst
Ming-Chi Kuo claiming all three
2019 iPhones will feature
frosted glass casing.
Interestingly, the leak suggests that the "iPhone" branding will be removed from the back of the devices. This isn't something we've heard before, but it is certainly possible that Apple believes the iPhone is now distinguishable enough for the name to be removed in favor of a more minimalistic design.

As for the front, the design of the <!---->2019 iPhones<!----> is said to be virtually the same as 2018 models, including the notch. However, due to the
widely rumored removal of 3D Touch, the display is expected to be slightly thinner.
The supposed Foxconn employee claims the next
iPhone XS Max will have a 3,969 mAh battery capacity — this is the first time we've seen that number. Other details in the list have been widely rumored, including triple-lens rear cameras, the Lightning connector living on, and
3D Touch being dropped.
Last, the new iPhones are said to be available in similar 64GB, 256GB, and 512GB storage capacities, like the current <!---->iPhone XS<!----> and <!---->iPhone XS<!----> Max. It is unclear if this includes the
iPhone XR, which currently tops out at 256GB.
Again, this information has not been confirmed, so this falls into the "sketchy rumor" category. In just a matter of weeks, we'll find out for certain.
