Upcoming 6.5-Inch iPhone Could Be Called 'iPhone Xs Max'

When there’s five pages of comments of others in this thread basically chastising and mocking this new purported iPhone title, you know it won’t be labeled that. I just think it sounds terrible and Apple is much smarter and more clever than this.

I'd propose they lose all naming completely. Kbase docs will be more explicit but MacBook Pro isn't MacBook SE, MacBook Pro MacBook Pro Max / Plus

It's MacBook and Pro in 4 different screen sizes with (2018) after the name on the Kbase documents but they show up nowhere in branding.

What are you talking about? The `mini` and `Air` names are awesome!

Mac mini, Mac, Mac Pro
MacBook mini, MacBook, MacBook Pro
iPad mini, iPad, iPad Pro
iPhone mini, iPhone, iPhone Pro

Now where's my check for one quadrizillion dogecoins?
 
They should the iPhone triple-X. Or “iPhone Xs plus max Optimus prime”.

Apple will struggle to win over Samsung buyers without a catchy, high-tech name like this.
 
Apple, please don't do this.

All you do is harken back to the HTC One M7 Max, which was a god awful phone by anyone's standards, and would also draw further attention to the 6-series phones resemblance to the M7.
 
Let's hope this is a false rumor. That would be the least-Apple name ever. With a name like that, they might as well half the price and paint orange fire on the side of the thing.

The 6s and 7's will be gone....the 8 will stay.
And the LCD will be called 9

So the $799 iPhone 8 Plus will drop to $549?

That is very unApple as well.

But if that is true, Apple are looking at the biggest upgrade cycle ever.
 
This name is truly inelegant, not Apple-like at all. If this is true Steve Jobs would be rolling on his grave.
 
These names stink. They should just use:

10
10s
10s Plus

like all the others.
 
Time for some fresh marketing blood at Apple. That is by far the most horrendous name for a phone ever. Between this and the report of Eddy Cue falling asleep at meetings I think its time for some house cleaning at Apple.
 
Nah, it's time for the guys to get their names on the phones :D

iPhone Xs Cook (the largest phone ever) (Could be the same as an iPadPro but with phone in it)
Can come in different sizes such as Xs L, Xs M, Xs S.
iPhone Xs Cue (the most colorful phone ever, shifts color even)
iPhone Xs Ive (the smallest bulkiest phone ever) might be the new SE XL

The other guys and ladies have to shorten their names.
Maybe except the iPhone Xs Adams, a totally legally correct phone, could be a special business phone.

Yeah, cause the Quadra 660av as such an elegant name during his days. The IIvx, IIci, IIsi, IIfx, IIvi, IIx, IIcx..... all such elegant names that really distinguished them apart.
 
iPhone and iPhone Pro.

If it's true that Apple has had a hard time naming them, it needs to find a new marketing team.

Is there some reason why multiple sizes of iPhone can't occur under one product name?

Are iMacs named for their size? No.
Macbooks? No.
Macbook Pros? No.
iPads? No.
iPad Pros? No.

They're named based on their feature sets and intended user demographics. Why is it that Apple feels it needs to have a numbered or numeral designation for each and every phone it comes out with? Because other phone makers do it? It becomes gimmicky and/or superfluous after awhile, usually around the 10th-15th version.
