Report: Apple to Skip 'iPhone 19' Name for 'iPhone 20'

There is no Mrs. Zarves. There is no 19th iPhone. Sorry.

Was wondering if/how long it would be until someone made that reference. Elementary school throwback!

I imagine they do something similar to when the X was announced. For awhile I’ve thought they would call the fold, iPhone XX. As it would be kinda like two iPhone X’s. Perhaps keep th rest of the lineup as iPhone 19? Like when iPhone X launched

If Apple aligned iPhone 10/X with their 10th anniversary, how is it they have to REALIGN it again for the 20th, given that they’ve released an iPhone every single year?

Apple threw the alignment off the very next year with the iPhone XS, the last S branded phone.

The fold will sell about as well as the Air or Vision pro.

Why are we still counting revisions as the official name? We aren’t calling it the MacBook 36, are we?

This idea also makes sense...

So if they decide to release a newer iPhone Air next year, what might they call it?

It'd be like the MacBooks with no numbers. iPods didn't have numbers and that was fine. iPod marketing was actually the best because they focused on so many different form factors like the Shuffle, Nano, Mini, Classic, etc., instead of just bumping up the version number. Those were fun times.

You do know Apple has different departments right? The programmers who are working on codes, bug fixes, etc. are not sitting around working on marketing and naming conventions 🤦‍♂️

Any normal person would think exactly that, but the number and severity of bugs suggest that maybe the Apple work environment is so bad that they cannot do 2 things at once. Someone is setting priorities and it sure seems to me, that that someone is putting quality dead last. If you have another explanation I'd love to hear it.

Apple doesn’t like the number 9

But The Beatles do!
