Breaking the trend: why Apple is likely to release both an 'iPhone 7s' and 'iPhone 8' this...
If I there really is an iPhone that is fancier than the "7S" and "7S Plus" this year, then I think there are only 3 possible names.
Here's how likely I think it is that Apple will use any of those names:
"iPhone Edition" -> 70%
"iPhone Pro" -> 29%
"iPhone 8" -> 1%
So far, "Pro" Apple products are more expensive, and/or physically "better" and/or faster and/or have more features than the basic models.
So far, "Edition" Apple products - only the Watch up to this point - are the same as the basic model but with fancier enclosure materials.
I think it makes sense for Apple to release a variant of the iPhone "7S Plus" that has a better screen and enclosure.
AMOLED screen for better battery life and possibly thinner form factor, with a ceramic back in an exclusive color.
(I would absolutely love a bezel-free screen, because it should make the iPhone physically smaller with the same usable screen area.)
The iPhone "Edition" would go for a premium price, of course. I'd buy one. Even if it was (yuck) white, like the Apple Watch Edition.
P.S. I would love it if Apple dropped the numbering scheme entirely. Keep it simple with just "iPhone SE", "iPhone", "iPhone Plus", "iPhone Edition".
iPhone is the only Apple device that has a "generation number" in its product name any more.
Dropping the number would make competing product names sound old-fashioned and oh-so-20th-century. -
Rumor: iPad Pro Smart Connector included on 'iPhone 8,' to be used for AR, charging
I expect it to be called "iPhone Edition."AppleInsider said:
Apple's "iPhone 8" is expected to be revealed alongside the "iPhone 7s" ...
No way Apple will officially call it the "iPhone 8."
And, if it really will be called "iPhone Edition," I expect it to only be made in one color.
White ceramic back, white bezel on the front screen (or possibly no bezel at all).
To match the Watch Edition.
