A leak of the final version of Apple’s (NASDAQ: AAPL) upcoming software for iPhones and iPads, iOS 11, occurred over the weekend, Bloomberg reports.
The leak revealed that the crucial new smartphone will be called the iPhone X, and will probably launch alongside two new versions of Apple’s current iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, renamed the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.
We can expect the iPhone X to have 3GB of RAM, the same amount of memory as the current iPhone 7 Plus.
It will most probably use a new 6-core Apple A11 processor and have at least one 12-megapixel camera on the back, possibly two, and 7-megapixel selfie camera on the front.
New details also show that it will offer a new "Face ID" in place of the Touch ID fingerprint reader.

A user will tilt his or her face to allow the phone to capture a 3-D image of a face. Once logged, simply looking at the phone should unlock the device.
The leak revealed also features that were already expected, such as wireless charging, new brighter and colourful OLED displays, and an improved camera.
Officially Apple is planning to introduce the new iPhone tomorrow, Tuesday, September 12.
