Apple's Larger Phones May Be Called iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus

[Dilster3k]

Oh god no...

 

[Blakjack]

Plus?!!

 

[JAT]

"Plus" is because we are afraid of words like "big" or "fat" in the USA.

 

[scbn]

No. I don't like the name. Call it iPhone Pro!

 

[sulpfiction]

Finally iPhone math is here!

 

[Menel]

Why can't we drop the numbering system for iPhones yet? The iPad names are great now. (Hoping they won't call the next revision: iPad Air 2, otherwise we're back to the old style again.)

iPad AirS?

 

[D.T.]

Plus what?

Hahaha, I know, it’s like it opens up a whole “who’s on first” bit.

I’ll take an iPhone 6 plus.

Plus what?

Nothing else, just the iPhone 6 plus.

So the iPhone and a case?

 

[troop231]

iPad AirS?

iPad Air, just like iMac and Mac Pro.

 

[boshii]

This guy had it right last January.

 

[MinkyMomo]

Why not 6 and 6s?

 

[ouimetnick]

I wonder what will happen to the iPhone 5c. Will they update it with the iPhone 5s internals, or would it be discontinued all together?

 

[dBeats]

Remember the leak about the iPhone Math? That would seem to line up with the lost-in-translation version of "iPhone 6+"

Air doesn't make sense as the name for the bigger phone. It makes sense as a name for the lightest phone, but the lightest phone might be the 5S, given the weight of additional screen and battery.

Plus might also have a negative connotation of heavier to some people.

 

[stuffradio]

Plus what?

iPhone 6 plus iPhone 6 = iPhone 12. You heard it here first, the next iPhone is called iPhone 12!

 

[iChrist]

no thanks

Agree.

How about:

iPhone Bezel
iPhone Bezel Plus

 

[xmichaelp]

This is what i wanted. "+"/"plus"

"Air" is stupid in this case.

iPhone Air was going to be for the 4.7" and iPhone Pro was for the 5.5".

 

[Rogifan]

No. I don't like the name. Call it iPhone Pro!

What's pro about it?

 

[KdParker]

Just iPhone 6 will be fine the iPhone 6+ sounds awful IMO.

 

[Oohara]

I agree. Why would the bigger one be the "Air" when the smaller version is just as thin and has the same overall design?

iPhone 6+ sounds and looks fine to me. I don't get why people are getting so worked up about this name

 

[KdParker]

"Plus" is because we are afraid of words like "big" or "fat" in the USA.

Not if you call it the iPhone 6 Phat.

 

[boshii]

What's pro about it?

I think if the iPad-like apps in landscape and split-screen dual apps rumors are true it could be considered Pro.

 

[D.T.]

What's pro about it?

He doesn’t mean Pro like professional, he means Pro like prohibitive, like it’s prohibitively large to fit in your pocket ...

 

[xmichaelp]

why didn't they follow the worldwide trend at the moment and just call it the iPhone Obese

/s

Because it's thin.

He doesn’t mean Pro like professional, he means Pro like prohibitive, like it’s prohibitively large to fit in your pocket ...

Maybe if you're 10.

This is probably the most mysterious iPhone in a few years. Sure, we've seen the back case and the screen like always, but we don't know the camera megapixel count, the exact screen resolution(s), or much about the A8 processor.
