Other Xs, Xs Max, Xr naming confirmed via Apple website leak

With the moniker of Max it better deliver everything
 
This is a really weird name. They should have just called it iPhone 10s, iPhone 10s Plus and iPhone 10c or iPhone 10sc. Getting back to numbers (removing X) would be great and it would give them the option to just call the next one iPhone 11. This numbering system is jut confusing for people who just want to buy a new phone and MAX sounds like a Pepsi

iPhone Xs Max… Not a good name IMHO.

Every time I read that it reminds me of this:

I’m hoping that the reason for Max instead of Plus is that Both Xs models have the same features and you can just choose the size you prefer, where with Plus there was a difference in features from the 4.7” (mainly the camera).
 
I think I get the naming on the iPhone X R. I think it is playing off the fact that R comes just before S in the alphabet, saying this isn’t exactly a S type model but it is close
 
Apple can call it what they want but when the XS Max is in my hand I will simply call it iPhone. Can’t wait

Yeah. But remember when the name iPad was first uttered? Feminine hygiene product comparison and all that? Everyone had their fun and then sales continue to top the market...
 
So that would make four different letter endings Apple has used in iPhone names since the iPhone 4:

s for speed
c for colorful
SE for Small Edition
r for... red? rad? ridiculous? reduced?
