The iPhone 9 appeared in the first "unofficial" photo that confirms the rumors up to now

There is little doubt: Apple will launch a cheaper version of the iPhone X. After months of speculation and analysis, we have the first photo that can be considered official as the phone . We are talking about a photo whose origin is a manufacturer of accessories called Ghostek, who in the past has revealed similar details about the new Samsung smartphones in the past

The device in the picture does not seem to be very different from the one of what we got last year with the iPhone X. We are dealing with a smartphone made largely of glass with a high screen cutting to accommodate the True Depth sensor, but with only one camera at the back. The new "cheap iPhone" will replace the iPhone 8 by Apple 's offering, becoming the entry – level model of the "premium" device. Apple, while the SE iPhone remains the "budget" solution, writes go4it

that this model will not be very different from the best variants of the iPhone X. It should be bundled with similar internal hardware , that is with an Apple A12 chipset, but with less RAM and LCD instead of OLED, without the 3D Touch feature. It could also be the first iPhone model since the disappearance of the iPhone 5C to be delivered in bright colors like blue or orange. The X and X Plus models are expected with a number of exclusive "serious" colors.

Otherwise, everything seems to be in place. The volume buttons and the silent mode switch to the left side, a large power button on the right side and very thin edges around the screen. There may be a 3D model manufactured by Ghostek, but there is a possibility that the iPhone 9 has a bigger chin down, something that I've seen on every Android devices lately. This design decision could be influenced by production costs, which should remain very low for this variant.
