September 12th Invites Shadow - iPhone 5 or 5 New Products?

[chrisvee]

5?! lol

 

[Indy21]

i think people are really stretching their imagination. It obviously means iphone5. Since 90% of the public would consider it the 5....only people who are on forums call it the 6

I agree. Honestly I thought it would just be "The new iPhone" or just "iPhone", now since seeing the event picture I believe it will just be "iPhone 5" and I'm over it, moving on.


Don't care what the name is, if it was "iTurd", I'll buy it because I'm due an upgrade from my 3GS and I like the Apple phones over other's.

I usually don't bother posting in the name game threads, but what if the "5" was for 5 years since the iPhone was first released?

I'm wondering that myself. Kind of a celebration... I wonder what they'll pull out of the hat for a 5-year anniversary, if that is indeed what they're hinting at.

Whatever it's called it'll probably have the internal model identifier of "iPhone5,1".

Orginal: iPhone1,1
3G: iPhone1,2
3GS: iPhone2,1
4 (GSM): iPhone3,1
4 (CDMA): iPhone3,3
4S: iPhone4,1

the invitation says ITS coming not They're coming.

it meaning one thing... iPhone

The "5" is for the age of the iPhone. See my thread https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1434352/.

That's awfully definitive for speculation. If they wanted to celebrate 5 years of iPhones, they would have done it at WWDC when it was much closer to the original iPhone release date.

"It's Almost Here"

As in the event is almost here.

 

[Robin Chung]

I really think they are dropping numeric product names, just like they have on every other product.

But yea was surprised to see the five on the invite, it is exactly five years since the first ever iPhone.

"It's Almost Here"

Nah

I agree.

Although what you said is plausible, this year's WWDC was not an iPhone event. The September 12 event is an iPhone-exclusive or at least an iPhone-dominant event. Therefore, it is a more appropriate event for the celebration of the 5th anniversary of the iPhone.

Its the iphone 5... Quite obvious really

Exactly. It would make more sense to celebrate 5 years of the iPhone at an actual iPhone event instead of a non iphone event so to speak.

I can't wait to pre order two new iPhones.

I've always thought that naming the next iPhone the "iPhone 5" made the most sense. I haven't met one person in real life that refers to it by any other nomenclature.

 

[takeshi74]

Now this could mean one of two things.

It "could" mean any number of things. It likely means one thing.

 

[terryh703]

Both.

People have been referring to this as the iPhone 5 for ages now, and it would please us a lot and cause less confusion among consumers. If they name it "The new iPhone" what will they do next year call it "The new NEW iPhone" ? No because carriers need names so they can differentiate them easily.

Also 5 products because of the different iPods as well and maybe the iPad Mini (doubt it though).

Same here. Even if it's called something else everyone will still refer to it as the 5, like what they do with the iPad 3.

So, the invites have just been released.

The 12 which represents what day it'll be on clearly resembles a 5 in its' shadow.

Now this could mean one of two things.

Either the iPhone 5, or the possibility that they will release 5 new products.

So?

New iPhone
New iPod Touch
New iPad Mini?
New iPod Nano?
New iPod Shuffle?


What're your thoughts? & What do you think could be the possible 5 products?

The iPhone would have to be new for there to be a new iPod touch, therefore it's the iPhone 5, not 5 new products. Without the main big one, you couldnt have more than 3 max.

 

[3rd Rock]

When was the last time Apple released or announced 5 products at once ?

 

[AustinIllini]

$5 off every product in the apple store.

That's the whole keynote.

"Hi, I'm Tim Cook. $5 off everything in the Apple store. Thanks for your continued support. Looks like a bright future ahead for Apple. See you in six months!"

 

[eliomendes]

Basic

The reason that is a "5" on shadow is because is on September 5 that Apple sent the invitations, and the image is a game of dates, 12 is when is going to be presented and five is when it apple sent the invitations

I'd actually laugh. Then cry when stock plummets.
