New Apple Rumor Reveals Mysterious I Phone!


Will Apple launch the “iPhone X” in 2017? This curious name is suggested in the latest reports from the supply chains working on the smartphone hardware for Cupertino.


Although the world is expecting the iPhone 8 to be announced alongside updates to the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus handsets...


Apple could be ready to drop the ’8' from the brand and go with something straight out of a 1950s science fiction caper.

Apple’s naming convention for its smartphones has been settled since the iPhone 4S (or arguably the iPhone 4). Why change now when the two-year naming cycle has proven successful?



Part of the reason I could see a name change is that cycle. Giving the designers two years to work on improvements and launching in even-numbered years while offsetting the major engineering changes to the odd-numbered years allowed Apple to work with the industry’s treadmill of yearly releases.



The last three years have seen a more evolutionary approach to the new iPhone, so while the convention remained and 2016 saw the iPhone 7, it really felt like an iPhone 6SS.



Apple’s move to what appears to be a three-year cycle with the new hardware and technology presumably arriving in September’s high-end handset pretty much demands a new name for the handset.



A simple numerical bump up to “8? is the easiest answer, but it also leaves the problem of what to do in subsequent years.


If 2018's handset is the iPhone 8S, then Apple’s numbering falls behind its chief rival Samsung, which will be able to push the Galaxy S9 and the Note 9 in the same year. Psychologically Samsung will have leapfrogged Apple.


There’s nothing to stop Apple moving to a new number every year and keeping pace, but I get the feeling this would be too messy a solution for Tim Cook and his team. Luckily they have faced this issue before, and have various tried and tested options.

2012 saw the new iPad released. Beforehand everyone expected it to be the iPad 3. Instead, Apple chose ‘iPad’ and a subtle note of it being the ‘third generation’. The numerical signifier was there for the hardcore, but for everyone else the tablet was simply ‘the iPad’. 2013's tablet remained ‘iPad’ but it picked up the fourth generation subheading, which was used as required.

After that came the iPad Air. Although the iPad Air 2 gets in the way of a beautiful defence of the numeric devices, I’d point to the lack of numbering with the various iPad Pro machines as a better, cleaner, and more Apple way of doing things (with a touch of Taniyama-Shimura).



My gut feel is that iPhone ‘X’ is a code name and the decision has yet to be made (or if it has been compartmentalized to such a degree that only a handful of marketing staff know the real name). In my mind the answer is simple.

Just call it ‘iPhone’
