If this is the name, I bet it will be Xs not XS.
I know Apple have gotten away with names HN have disliked, but XS sounds like Extra Small.
iPhone XS sounds like the follow up to iPhone SE ...

The entire world knows XS is 'extra small'. These cryptic abbreviations should stop. I've always wondered why Samsung's flagship is called 'Galaxy S#'.
In music theory context, sharp implies augmentation. Maybe that's why? (No idea)
It's not the Galaxy S#, it's the Galaxy S7, S8, S9, etc. (i.e. the # is replaced by whatever number).
Just wait for the extra small plus
Introducing... the Apple iPhone Tiny. It's so big, we had to give it a diminutive name.
It also sounds like "excess" which a Youtuber has already criticized them for.

I read it as “excess”—seems like I’m the outlier?
By the name, I imagined it would be a successor to the iPhone SE, probably the only smartphone in the market I can comfortably use with just the one hand.
It turns out it's anything but that.

"...will come in two sizes including a larger version"
Two sizes generally includes a larger one... so I guess I can't fault the author's logic.
