They should get ride of numbers...


the 4.7 should be the iPhone
the 5.5 should be the iPhone Plus
the 5.8 should be the iPhone Pro
the 6.x should be the iPhone Pro Plus

Thinking they will do the same thing like with iPad versions.

My guess is if they go the rumored device route, it will be iPhone 8s, iPhone Xs and iphone Xs Plus since those are iterative designs over this years device.

I remember when the rumored iPhone Pro was the original iPhone with a sliding keyboard. I actually held on to my original iPhone for that.

I wish apple would redo the way they name their iphones and ipads. Perhaps go by generation like they do for the ipod touch or by year like they do for the Macs.

Using the generation option would be better but they have so many different models and they don't get upgraded at the same time, iPhone SE for example and if they roll out 3 new models and a revamped SE then what.

Don’t know why they bother. X looks cooler in writing, but when they say “ten” it sounds like just another phone!

The iPhone.
Plain and simple
Here's my dream naming scheme for the next iPhone:
iPhone Mini (year similar to Mac or generation similar to iPod Touch) replaces the iPhone SE
iPhone (year similar to Mac or generation similar to iPod Touch) replaces the iPhone 8
iPhone Plus (year similar to Mac or generation similar to iPod Touch) replaces the iPhone 8 Plus
iPhone Pro (year similar to Mac or generation similar to iPod Touch) replaces the iPhone X

So what do we call a 6.1" iPhone if the rumors are true. We may see 3 new models 5.8 Oled, 6.46/6.5 Oled and a 6.1 LCD and still have the 7/7Plus, 8/8Plus and iPhone SE.

They could call the rumored 6.1" LCD the iPhone 9 and the 5.8" and 6.5" the Xs and Xs Plus or XI and XI Plus. I can't help but wonder how they'll gimp the 6.1" as to have it not interfere with the 6.5" sales. I'm not sure the .4", lower PPI, and LCD alone will keep people from choosing it over a likely significantly more expensive 6.5". I guess the camera could do it and or a lesser SoC...just thinking out loud here.

I could see Apple sticking with "iPhone" if they released one model only. But I don't think that will be the case. It seems weird to me, but since we got the 8 and the X, I guess it would make sense to continue on with the 9 and XI. Then after that... X11, etc. And for any future "SE" models, I think iPhone Mini is a great idea!
