The iPhone will be called...

[InvalidBassist]

So there has been a lot of discussion about the next iPhone being called the 4 or HD or 4G or whatever.

Does anyone else think that it may be called something else entirely... Like X or XL.

Thoughts?

iPhone X doesn't sound very Apple-like IMO... I'm leaning towards iPhone 4 or HD.

 

[OOC]

I'm thinking just iPhone. But only time will tell.

 

[Goaliegeek]

iPhone Giz

I was thinking that as well. Give it a throwback... I feel like a lot of the new iPhone users don't even know what an original iPhone looks like.

 

[fastblack]

3gss of course

 

[chiefroastbeef]

iPhone Millenium Falcon

 

[vizkiz]

iPhone Giz

But, to not give too much credit to Gizmodo, it will be pronounced with a soft G

So iPhone Jiz then?

 

[Screwtape]

I'd hate for Apple to use 'HD' in the name. Not only is it cliché, but not an accurate description. I'm thinking iPhone A4/ iPhone 3GP (s was for speed, p is for power) / or just iPhone.

i-phone IV
IV =4 IV = ichat video
lol i dont know

 

[LizKat]

Wow, iPhone HD sounds dumb, like a retro iPod with Hard Drive.

 

[Hellishness]

lol i dont know

Sorry it annoys me...


And lol at the pun in the thread title. I vote for iPhone HD.

 

[joshellis625]

The Maxiphone.

 

[gforce216]

iPhone HD is my guess. I think going to iPhone again would be fine too.

 

[swingerofbirch]

Well, it would be very un-Apple-like, but Apple has not been Apple-like so maybe iPhone 3GS-HD

I'm still hoping for iPod mobile, because it seems to me the iPod brand will die off eventually if they don't incorporate it into the nomenclature of a product that will survive convergence-dom.

 

[ChrisGonzales90]

iPhone HD

iPhone X doesn't sound very Apple-like IMO... I'm leaning towards iPhone 4 or HD.

Quicktime X

Well, it would be very un-Apple-like, but Apple has not been Apple-like so maybe iPhone 3GS-HD

Why on earth would they reuse the name?

 

[Ehlun]

iPhone HD



Quicktime X

X is the Roman numeral 10. It's pronounced QuickTime 10.

iPhone IV?

 

[Goaliegeek]

X is the Roman numeral 10. It's pronounced QuickTime 10.

iPhone IV?

What about OS X? We Don't say OS 10.

 

[macfan881]

its a toss up between iPhone HD or iPhone 4G but i think since it will belive to think that the new iPhone will be "4G" capable i think 90% positve that it will be iPhone HD.

 

[Justinf79]

I think either iPhone 4 or iPhone HD are the most likely.

What about OS X? We Don't say OS 10.

It IS called OS Ten...

 

[vizkiz]

I think it's between iPhone HD and iPhone 4.

 

[erzeszut]

It IS called OS Ten...

Agreed. "Oh-ess ten" has always been the correct, and official Apple, pronunciation.

Pronouncing the "X" phonetically makes it sound a little obscene, like "Oh-ess-sex" or something. Not what Apple wants!

 

[ChrisGonzales90]

X is the Roman numeral 10. It's pronounced QuickTime 10.

iPhone IV?

I'm aware of that. But my point still stands....

 

[Ehlun]

I'm aware of that. But my point still stands....

Yeah, kind of. But they won't call the iPhone, iPhone X (10).
