It is confusing. Having the "8" come out at the same time as the 7s and 7s Plus will confuse 90% of buyers. We're the geeks on this site, we're the 1%.It's just you I think, it's not confusing.

Based on the rumors, part leaks, and design leaks we've seen, these dummy models offer a solid look at what to expect from Apple's 2017 iPhone lineup.

Give it time, you'll get used to it. And they probably didn't change orientation just for the sake of change, there's probably some tech that made it that way (maybe landscape video is better?).Personally they should have went for a camera design change, that bump looks even worse when turned the other way, assuming that's how it will be officially.
Maybe stop coming here then if you don't want stuff spoiled...I miss the old days when Steve would send in his private security with the police to confiscate and arrest these guys. I miss the element of surprise at the release. Oh well at least I know which one I want.
Yes, I kind of knew I would get that response as soon as I wrote it. Yes, there is an underlying logic. But it is clumsy to have two versions of any given number (i.e. 7 and 7s) and then two versions of each of those (i.e. plus and normal). Then in addition to that need a new number / name with the "8" or whatever at the same release point. It is not at all elegant. I suspect others will feel the same, and I imagine there are those at Apple who probably regret the way their nomenclature has evolved into this. You either see it, or you don't. I do. Just saying...
You won't have any issue getting the 7s or 7s plus at launch... the 8? Good luck. That thing will be sold out for months.
iPhone 7s, iPhone 7s Plus and iPhone Edition. What's so hard to understand?
It's for AR, another thing I don't care much about. I use a case so I don't really care, just saying it looks strange to me. Eventually it will go back to being flat or whatever they come up with.Give it time, you'll get used to it.

I agree, get rid of the number, going to look ridiculous when you get to 11, 12, 13...I’d agree with the elegant part you mentioned. It’s not necessarily tough to understand, just not clean. I can’t see them going with 7s though in any fashion. 8, 8 Plus, and 8 Pro or just drop the number altogether. I think they should drop the number.
Atleast Black notch will blend in with display better, So we don't see that cutout from Display.
Even with white model it will look like this.

Why are people so pumped for 8, I can't figure out why you would break tradition and skip the pattern (7s). If we went to 8, do we skip 8s and the year after do 9? Just get rid of the number, simple.iPhone 8 or bust
Hard to be into something that just started and we haven't seen that much of. VR to me seems like 3D, a gimmick that will fade quickly. AR seems like it could have huge potential without wearing something dorky on your face.It's for AR, another thing I don't care much about.
It's only new to them, not new to the programming community. I've been to plenty of things already, it's not something I'm interested in at all. I'm glad it's something that excites others, tech should do that. But for me it seems very boring and not exactly useful.Why are people so pumped for 8, I can't figure out why you would break tradition and skip the pattern (7s).

Honestly I know nothing about it I just saw the furniture(Ikea maybe?) demo and my mind ran with it. Oh right, plus the navigation demo where in real time you had arrows showing you the way to your destination. I thought of the medical field how they could use it for teaching. Just seems like something the developer community will run with in ways we never even thought of.It's only new to them, not new to the programming community.

....and a bigger battery..?
Imagine that.
Wouldn't you prefer 2mm thicker phone, for a flush camera and a battery that lasts 2 or 3 days?!![]()
Why though? Why break a 7 year tradition? And then the year after, iPhone 9? Or 8s?I think it'll be 8.
But the same categoris of people could also go for iPhone 7 and 7 Plus which will become cheaper still. So it all depends whether the new features of 7Ss will be good enough to pay an extra 100 or so. Promotion (a higher screen refresh rate) would be a handy addition, cannot think of anything else I miss at the moment.
[whispers] Essy, blink your screen once if you want me to call the police. Blink twice and I will fight Por-*strokes iPhone SE* Yeah, you're not going anywhere anytime soon Essy, don't worry.

iPhone X
iPhone X Plus
iPhone X Pro
next year X2, then X3, then X4...
Could be a cool way to reset the naming system!
