We’re days away from Apple’s special event, where we’ll learn the final details of the company’s next flagship iPhone. One big question remains though—what will Apple call ‘iPhone 8’?
iPhone 8 sounds like a logical choice, but what about the other iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus updates? Could we see Apple deviate from the traditional “S” naming scheme for models still using the same iPhone 6/6 Plus design, and call them iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus? Then call the newest and most expensive model the iPhone 8 Pro or iPhone Edition? Or even iPhone X? Or do you think Apple will finally drop the number naming scheme altogether?
Back in March, Japanese Apple site Mac Otakara heard from sources the next OLED iPhone could be called the ‘iPhone Edition’, which would be borrowing a naming scheme from the outlandishly priced Apple Watch Edition, which was priced as high as $22,000 CAD.
I’ll take a stab first–I’m guessing Apple will call the new model iPhone 8 Pro or iPhone Pro.
Regardless of what Apple calls the next flagship iPhone, get your bags of money folks. It’s expected to cost at least $1000 USD and be in short supply at launch (no surprise here).
