Other Name of next iPhone? (2021)

[Macsidia]

I've been seeing on various websites and forum posts mentioning next years iPhone will be named iPhone 13.

However, I think due to superstition reasons the next years iPhone will be named iPhone 12s and then the year after the iPhone 14 meaning that Apple would skip the usage of the number 13 entirely.

What do you guys think?

Apple has not any issue using the number 13. iOS13, OS X 10.13 for instance. If Apple follows suite like they did going from iPhone 11 to iPhone 12, then iiPhone 13 will be the next naming in 2021.

I propose a follow up to the iPhone X : iPhone Y!

X XS 11
Leap year as Apple stated as well as “leap year”
Design change full number change 12 then 12S

I think it will be the 12S. I don’t see them jumping whole numbers two years in a row.

Really no idea to be honest but I don’t think that they have an issue with the number 13.

Has to be 13

I think it will be the 12s, since we got a new design this year I believe next year will be a “s” cycle.

Iphone "ten" to iphone "why"?

The X is the roman numeral for 10, not the letter x

I think so too. I imagine the big push will be 120hz

If they call it iphone 13 then I suppose they will be done with the "S" year

 

[Atomic1977]

I think there should be a Y and a Z iPhone.

I suspect there won’t be any design changes beyond new colors next year, so my bet is iPhone 12s.

what if they plug up the lightning port? will that count?

I was thinking more about iPhoney

Hmmm... well losing the headphone jack, tweaking the antenna bands and moving/increasing the size of the rear camera qualified for a change from 6s -> 7 (although what were they going to do, call it the 6ss?) so 🤷‍♂️

13 because Apple doesn't believe in suspicions.

Example: iOS 13 went really well, didn’t it? 😂

In Hong Kong, many buildings don't have 4, 14, 24, 34 etc. floors. You probably find some superstitious numbers in any culture.

I would probably see 12S for two reasons : it's logical given design just has been changed and we already move from 11 to 12 in a one year.
Plus 13 is an number to avoid in certain markets. I still can't believe it but some are really superstitious. So that give Apple an extra year to think about that (maybe 12S > 14 ?)

 

[TechLord]

12s. Or they’ll switch to going by year like the galaxy s series. So iPhone 21. We will never get an iPhone 13.
