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

[Sloppy.Joe]

I prefer 'iPhone 6 *Sparkle-plus-plus*' but that could just be me...

 

[coolfactor]

I sure hope not. What a lame name.

All the people clamoring for the "plus" were probably previously convinced that the iPhone size was perfect and Samsung's larger models were too big.

It's funny how some people seem to think MR has one collective opinion.

It'd make sense for Apple to drop the number(s), they did it with the iPad Air. I have a sense they may go with iPhone Air and iPhone Pro; the 4.7" model is smaller and lighter and the 5.5" model may follow rumors with different internals for a "Pro" monicker (RAM, battery, camera, display, etc).

 

[coolfactor]

Pro would be better than Plus.

OMG, who cares what it's called! Just sell me one!

iPhone macro

you know they considered it,

plus is pretty lame. wasn't there something else called plus? I can't remember it…

isn't the warranty called plus?

 

[tito2020]

im sure what ever apple calls it people will flock to it .

 

[toneLA2]

I still don't understand how anyone suggested iPhone Math in the first place. Made no sense whatsoever.

Too all those folks who have no memory of Apple history saying that Apple never has used "Plus" before.... boy... do you folks forget a lot:

oh... and...

Yup... Apple *never* uses "Plus." RIIIIIGHHHT

Maybe "Plus" sounded cool in the 70s. They also sold beige computers for a good long time.

I don't know why each screen size needs a separate name. Call it the 6 and leave it.

 

[Zeov]

Seriously, who the F cares what the name of the iPhone is going to be? are you guys serious?

 

[Carlanga]

they should call it:
iPhone 5 XL

 

[ColdShadow]

How about Ghetto and Ghetto+?

Or maybe iPhone U (Ugly),iPhone U+ (Ugly +)

 

[Carlanga]

Why can't they just both be called iPhone 6 like how all MacBook pros are MacBooks pros and all iMacs are iMacs regardless of size?

too confusing for showboating people

 

[Wishbrah]

iPhone Math.

1 iWatch + 1 iPhone Math + 1 person = threesome.

My body is ready.

 

[delnerdo]

Yawn. I'm more excited about upgrading car tires.

 

[charlituna]

Sweet baby Jaysus when will this madness end!

Tomorrow? Oh, OK.

Oh no, tomorrow the madness truly begins

 

[Tycho24]

Plus is greater than, so it fits it well without being arty farty like 'Air'. I like it.

Yeah, it would be awesome if you were trying to belittle your OTHER flagship phone & convince people that, if this model is "greater than", obviously the other size is "less than".
If this is true they may as well rename the 4.7" version the "iPhone 6 piece of garbage". This is the stupidest rumor I've ever read on this site. For serious.

 

[JAT]

Not if you call it the iPhone 6 Phat.

LOL! Well, I would never use such a word for other reasons. Like respect...for myself.

 

[Bobby Corwen]

I don't see how it could be called iPhone Air.

In both cases the Air designation came from making the Macbook---> thinner and lighter and making the iPad----> thinner and lighter.

For the 5.5, its going from iPhone6 to a monster jumbo phone and its getting BIGGER.

So it doesn't really add up on all fronts that it could be called the Air because the fact that its getting larger not smaller in most ways is counterintuitive to the term if only in principle.

 

[charlituna]

That's just stupid to have different naming systems. What are they going to call the update next year, the iPhone 6 Plus S?

I'm calling it. Iphone 6C 4.7 inch body, unapologetically plastic. Iphone 6s 5.5 body, metal based.

Next year iphone 7c, 7s

 

[phinsup]

I thought it was going to be the iPhone BBP.

 

[charlituna]

Perhaps that's the *real* reason behind why Apple invited fashion representatives and bloggers to the event tomorrow.

Big White has a runway to show off the new lines by Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren etc with pockets especially designed for the new phone
