Then why buy an iPhone? There are plenty of phones that fit your needs. Seriously, I don't understand this. Is it just a matter of having an Apple branded phone?
On a side note I guess they could call it the iPhone Air.
Got a tip for us?

Still with the 16gb??? WTF Apple. What happened to 32gb?
Well it did not shine through, but of course I know the difference, it is just that since Samsung is copying the numbers its time for Apple to get away from the numbers.Then why buy an iPhone?

What a ridiculous statement, you're making it sound like Apple or Samsung were the first companies to increment their products with numbers
Apple Experience....A complete integrated environment. Change the phone you disrupt the integrated environment.Then why buy an iPhone? There are plenty of phones that fit your needs. Seriously, I don't understand this. Is it just a matter of having an Apple branded phone?

Apple is the only entity getting value from Pay!? Sorry but I have to completely disagree here. I wanted the Watch specifically to gain access to Pay. That is the ONLY reason I want to upgrade my 5S.
I couldn't care less about 3D Touch. I'm perfectly happy with the way I interface with my iPhone now, I've played around with it at the Store, and it does nothing for me. Developers haven't really embraced it to do anything spectacular in the apps I use yet, though I can certainly see the potential for it down the road. For now, I don't care. But give me Pay, a better camera, and more RAM, and I'm in. Can't happen soon enough!
Besides based on prossesors like G4, I don't recall Apple products that were numbered until the iPhone/iPad except Apple II and other stuff that was before Steve came back.
I agree that numbering can be used to promote newer models, but losing numbering would definitely make model variations and release cycles more flexible.
But I guess it's about naming products that maximize profits, and with iPhone and iPad we've gotten too used to numbering, despite the fact that the iPad line naming is sort of confusing.

It won't be long until we find out everything about the iPhone SE, with reports pointing towards a March 15 media event for the reveal of the new 4-inch iPhone.
So much for those "reports". Won't be quite so fast if you buy the report AppleInsider just posted; you might be waiting another week.

I seem to recall when Jobs returned, he was pointing out there were some 30 models of Macs out there, and they cut it down to four. I'm ambivalent to SE. Someone else mentioned Mini, which I like better. I would imagine there's a negative connotation to offering an iPhone 5 when in a few months they'll be pushing an iPhone 7.
The two companies with what 95% of the market using the same numbers for the same products. Come on, surely your thinking is critical enough to see through that, even if you are a Samsung fanboy or fangirl.
If they had just one capacity and it was 32 gb, that would actually work for a mass market device to substantially reduce the SKU count to color choices. Maybe a couple of hardware localizations, but hopefully not many.

Well, maybe an iPod mini and then an iPod nano. Innovative break-through products from Apple - unter the lead of Steve Jobs.
Personally, I don't care is they do or don't make a 4" phone, but I don't think apple lost market shares over not having the 5s.
No, they didn't invent increments, but they are copying the version number, though. And it's understandable ... they don't want their product to seem outdated or inferior to the competition. People really are that clueless.
