Apple's Future iPhone Models: Speculations and Naming Controversies

Speculations are swirling around what Apple's next generation of iPhones might be called. Will the new models be named iPhone 11 or iPhone XI? This question has garnered significant attention, with the latter rumor implying a potential end to Apple's naming system. However, regardless of the name, the real issue lies in the improvements (or lack thereof) that these models might offer.

Apple's Naming System Dilemma

Apple has stumbled somewhat with its naming system, with the iPhone XS and XR names being criticized last year. Following this, the rumor suggests that the next models might be called iPhone 11 or iPhone XIR, which, if true, would be an even greater departure from previous conventions. The addition of a '11' or 'XI' suffix might not necessarily reflect significant upgrades, leading to mounting criticism if the improvements are minimal.

However, people have a habit of calling it 11 anyways, which means the name issue might not be the real concern. When I saw the render of what could be the next iPhone, my first reaction was that Apple has clearly messed up the naming system. In 2017, they seemed to have corrected their approach by using XS, and it's unlikely they would want to deviate from this again.

Speculations and Rumors

There are several speculations about which models will be released next month. The first is likely to be the successor to the iPhone X, featuring a 5.8-inch OLED display. The second model, which some are calling the iPhone 9, will have a 6.1-inch LCD display and could potentially be a cheaper alternative. The third model, dubbed the iPhone X plus, will feature a larger 6.5-inch OLED display and is expected to be even more expensive than the current iPhone X.

Apple has a history of surprising its audience with unexpected features at the final product launch. However, in this particular instance, most people are speculating whether it will be an iPhone 9 or an iPhone 11. Given that the launch is only a few months away, it's essential to stay tuned. Tighten your belts and prepare for the final reveal, as no one actually knows what Apple has in store for September.

Will the Phone Be Called iPhone X2?

To add to the mix, some are even speculating that the phone might be called the iPhone X2. This name would certainly be a departure from the company's previous naming system, and it remains to be seen if it will somehow relate to the phone's features or be a nod to its predecessor.

Regardless of the final name, the real question is whether these upcoming models will offer significant improvements or merely continue the trend of minor upgrades. For now, all we can do is wait and see. The release will be a critical moment for Apple, not only in terms of the reception of the new iPhones but also in how it impacts the company's overall strategy and perception in the market.
