[Merged] iPhone 5 / 2011 iPhone speculation thread

[adnoh]

I really like the multiple home screens and widgets in android. I really hoope they find their way to iOS.

 

[LoganT]

I wonder if they will call the 10th generation iPhone X. Maybe they will call the next version iPhone V.

 

[wordoflife]

Unless the next iPhone implements 4G technology (or HSPA+ (technically speaking)), then I don't think it'll be called the 4G or 4GS.

I think sooner or later Apple will just have to keep it like the rest of their products ... just 'iPhone". (the same way they have iPod Touch, iPod Nano, MacBook, etc)

im waiting for the iPhone 69....just a few years to go!

 

[kiantech]

They are just going to start calling it iPhone, kind of what they did with the iPod line when it got a little crazy.

 

[Certinfy]

iPhone 5

i agree with this

That is how they do all their other products as well

ie. just mbp regardless of the revision , not mbp aluminum/nehalm and the like

iPhone 5.

Then next year....iPhone 4g .

That would....not make sense. Same reason that MS went with the XBOX 360, lower numbers with imply that it's a generation behind.

 

[Certinfy]

Maybe they could move the home button?

Interesting idea, but where could they potentially move it?

 

[lsvtecjohn3]

iPhone FIVE

 

[Interstella5555]

How about the iPhone V....and not give it to Verizon?

 

[Xenc]

iPhone 2.

 

[upinflames900]

Well iPhone 5 should get the 4G Verizon network capabilities so iPhone4G makes sense to me.

 

[eastercat]

iPhone 4S

 

[saberahul]

I don't think they are really doing to call it the iPhone 5... What about iPhone 4Gs... Lmao

I'll let you know in July.

 

[xraydoc]

Bob.

 

[utneon]

iPhone 5G

seems logical.

3g had to do with the network service

 

[xraydoc]

iPhone 5G

seems logical.

No, actually, it doesn't.

 

[Mr. Incredible]

iPhone 4S

I agree. Most likely it'll be iPhone 4S

Next year, it will be the iPhone 4G

And in 2013, it will be the iPhone 7 (or 5?!)

 

[alectheking]

I'm guessing that before the naming conventions get out of hand, they will go back to simply the new "iPhone".

 

[tsolt]

^^ "iPhone"

 

[Roadking]

Magical

Pretty much what I think. Back when iPod was Apple's big thing they always called the latest generation "the new iPod" in marketing. (they still do this with iPods) It's going to sound silly around iPhone 6 or 7 so they'll probably go back to "iPhone".

Also 4GS wouldn't make sense, the 3GS name referenced the original 3G, implying it was design-wise the same as the 3G, just with some functional enhancements. (Plus we aren't sure it'll be a 4G phone)

 

[youknome]

I highly, highly doubt that Apple will call the next generation - iPhone 4S. It's already fast enough, where as 3G was dire hence why they opted to call the next one 3GS.

And of course they won't call it 4G, that technology isn't freely available yet.

It will be called "Jesus Phone: Resurrection".
