We’re only a matter of hours away from Apple’s Special Event, but that hasn’t stopped eagle-eyed fans from spoiling the show early.

Early Thursday morning, Apple are set to deliver a keynote speech will ostensibly see a number of new gadgets announced. As is tradition, the company manages to keep everything pretty much top-secret until the second the big news drops, but it looks like Apple might have jumped the gun this year.

As Allthings notes, a product sitemap XML file on the Apple website appears to have prematurely announced the names of the new iPhones that are on the way.

While the file has since been made unavailable on lines, a few screenshots have survived which illustrate some of the product names that are set to be made available on the Apple Store sometime soon.

Yes, as you can see above, the code indicates a number of products on the Apple Store pertaining to the iPhone XR. As Allthings notes, other models were also named in the code, including the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max.

Of course, there’s every chance that these are actually just placeholder names, but it sounds as though all will be revealed in just a few hours when Apple’s Special Event kicks off at 3am AEST.
