05 August 2018
With the introduction of the iPhone X, has Apple backed itself into a corner with its 2018 iPhone naming conventions?

    Ummm, I don't get this. Why are we so hung up about the next model name? Why don't we just wait until Apple announced it themselves?

      It doesn't matter what it's called, I am just excited to finally have a great life and increased creativity thanks to the new $200 iPhone and its 2011-sized bezels with an $800 price tag.

        iPhone 11 and 11 plus.
        iPhone SE plus.

        Going in a fun way, it could also be iPhone SE X. lol

              It‘s simple

              iPhone (2018)
              iPhone X (2018)
              iPhone X Plus (2018)

              Three tiers, one release year. Just like MacBook and MacBook Pro, iPad and iPad Pro. I don‘t believe Apple would release a phone called „iPhone Pro“, even if it‘s more reasonable, because the „X“ already got so famous. And „iPhone Pro Plus“ Sounds a bit cluttered.

                [deleted post]Not even reading the article is the option for that, but the fact that you commented already means you didn't vote for it.

                  Why there is no option called " I don't care, it's not that important"

                        Honestly all proposed names are hopelessly stupid and nonsensical.
                        I say the only way Apple can dig them self out of the hole they're in, is this - iPhone 2018, iPhone 2018 S, iPhone 2018 Pro

                          Both iPhone Xs or iPhone 11 are fine.
                          For the lcd one, iPhone se 2

                            Another story about nothing, based on nothing, achieving nothing save for pollutring the internet with more nothingness.

                            A tip for GSMArena : in the olden days of printed newspapers, they had to sometimes print utterly useless stuff to avoid blank spots on the pages.
                            In these virtual times you don't have to make stuff up if it's a slow news day. And if you absolutely must, I'm sure there's more interesting stuff than the endless line of 'what we expect', 'what we would like to see', 'what they could do' and 'what we think' pagefillers about Apple.

                              Could be anything by the sense the naming is done by them or other brands.
                              iphone Y, iphone XL, iphone 9x, iphone X 2018 or even iphone 18 or iphone XX(huawei like skipping, because its soo awesome...).
                              Not to forget it could be some sort of Edition, be it automobile one, gaming or premium one.
                              Could be as well entirely new naming, like iphoneX becoming MilkyWay, dare to guess?

                                It is more likely that the LCD one will be called iPhone 9, and the OLED ones will be called iPhone Xs & Xs Plus. Just my professional guess.

                                  Maybe iPhone XI, XI Plus and XI SE? Or iPhone 11, 11S and 11C, this would be simple, easy to understand and recognizable to everyone who heard about earlier iphones

                                    it will be called "Give you your money, just like every year"

                                      I don't get why the herd just flat out afraid of asking for a bigger battery? On average if you cross reference all of the tech sites' reviews, it's the iPhone 8 Plus minus the X' gimmicks (oddly enough iPhone X' batt is slightly larger?) consistently win on batt life? Clearly that dated design works.

                                        Gsmarena hyping iPhone launch anyways imo two flagships will be Xs and Xs plus and LCD called X SE
