New leaked images claim to show the screen of a massive ;iPhone X Plus'

• New leaked images claim to show parts from a 2018 iPhone. 
• The photos show a large notched display that would reportedly be for an "iPhone X Plus," a massive 6.5-inch phone said to be coming later this year. 
• The parts may not be for an Apple phone however, since the original post claims they were manufactured by LG rather than Samsung. 

New leaked photos claim to show the screen of an "iPhone X Plus," a 6.5-inch iPhone said to be coming in 2018. 

The photos first showed up on the MacX forums, although the post has since been taken down. MacRumors saved the images and said the original post claims the parts are from an LG facility in Vietnam, and are part of a "trial run of production equipment."

Apple is said to be releasing three new iPhone models in 2018: an upgraded iPhone X with a 5.8-inch OLED screen, a larger model with a 6.5-inch OLED screen, and a third iPhone model with a less expensive LCD screen.

The leaked parts would seemingly be for the larger, 6.5-inch iPhone X Plus: 

It's clear from the photos that the screen is larger than the iPhone X but has the roughly the same size notch at the top of the screen. According to MacRumos, the part number printed on the flex cable attached to the screen is similar to Apple's format. Still, there's no way to verify whether these parts are legitimate and not made for an iPhone knockoff. 

Plus, if the original post is to be believed, the parts were manufactured by LG in Vietnam. While Apple did reportedly invest $2.7 billion in LG Display to build the OLED displays, Samsung was Apple's exclusive OLED supplier for the iPhone X.
