I see it that the MacBook Pro is a device that was created for productivity per the user to complete more desktop orientated tasks and or programs. I don't see an iPhone that is meant or intended to be categorized the same as a MacBook Pro. Especially for a device that is updated annually with Certain capabilities.
Got a tip for us?

It will be a successful epic. Apple have prepared this very carefully and diligently. Just watch
So will some of the forum participants who are off from work if we make a drinking game over the use of words like "magical" "best...ever..." and other expressions Tim and Co. have beaten to death by now.
It is unfortunate that so much of the surprises will be gone.
But yeah, no Touch ID in iPhone X. Just Face ID which should be quite an improvement from the interaction model as mentioned by people who have used it in person.
I understand that. I was more getting at the difference between the MacBook and MacBook Pro naming and what features really make them different. I think that the 'Pro' name has a different meaning these days. Just look at the PS4 Pro for example.
"People" does not follow rumors on blogs like us nerds. A new number is always more enticing for "People".
Since the black iPhone X looks so much like the iPhone 7 jet black, I'm predicting the silver color will be the most difficult to get this year.
Will they release a budget SE in spring, iPhone SE X?
Apple has to justify buying the 8/plus at a premium price. If the 8 is just another iteration of the 6, with wireless charging, it might not sell. They need it to be such a significant upgrade that consumers will not buy the 7. Maybe promotion or true tone. More storage could also work.
That doesn’t matter, it was never going to happen and never considered by Apple for this years anniversary model. Same applies for calling it ‘iPhone 8’ alongside a 7S lineup.
The iPhone product line is getting too confusing
What? New design =/= innovation, the innovation happens in the S year. It’s just a name for crying out loud, they probably called it 8 because of the cluster#£&! of articles and videos saying Apple will release an ‘iPhone 8’, confusing consumers.
3 models is confusing? Try looking at samsung, lg, and nexus' lineup, my friend. Hundreds of skus.

In 2 years time, it’s be the 9 unless they choose to ditch the S cycle altogether. They’d probably refer to it as iPhone ‘X’ not 10, because let’s face it, nobody is going to read it as 10, especially with other models in the lineup.
While both names were suitable and good choices, if they called it ‘Edition’, what would happen at the next significant anniversary???
So we're going to have an "eight" and a "ten" at the same time?
I really can't see that happening.
