But then again the iPhone brand wasn't as big as it is now, so you could argue that naming was much less important as it was aimed at a niche market

I don't know why the OP thinks the next generation iPhone will be called 'iPhone 6'.
Why would they do this? No other iPhone has 'jumped a number'. It would make no sense to do so.
The name 'iPhone 5' is also important as I think it has that extra buzz factor with the 5 being a major number (representing a major change to the iPhone line).
The name iPhone LTE won't be used also in my opinion. Apple likes to be simple with their ideas & many will be confused by what 'LTE' actually means. Most/all Apple product names are conveyed in a way which means the consumer can immediately know what the item is without researching into the name of the product.
The name 'iPhone 5' will most likely be the next name of the next-generation iPhone UNLESS there isn't a major update. I somehow find the '4G' name could be also quite confusing to consumers.

No other iPhone had just a number in its name.... There is no history to predict the name of the next iPhone so it's useless to argue names. Ok to speculate, but this arguing over why it's stupid to have the next iPhone named iPhone 6( being the 6th gen iPhone like how the iPhone 4 was named due to it being the 4th gen iPhone), etc is ridiculous. There hasn't been a consistent naming scheme Apple has used for the iPhone besides the "S" branding for the iPhone's minor/spec update to put together an educated guess.
4 pages later and I'm still trying to figure out why people care so much what the next iPhone is called.
No matter what it's called, it will sell in the millions and people will complain about Apple's naming convention. No point in getting upset over it now.

LOL those are bad, except 5. I think my 4S is radioactive. I am acquiring superpowers, since I started sleeping with the 4S under my pillow.
