Apple may not call its brand new top end phone the iPhone 8 in the end – the name iPhone X has appeared a lot too.
The next iPhone announcement date is mere days away with Apple holding an event on September 12, but it may be the heavily rumored, high-end iPhone 8 is getting a name change. iPhone 8
There are rumors for the iPhone Edition doing the rounds, but other rumors are also reporting the phone will be called the iPhone X. iPhone Edition iPhone
Below we discuss what name we expect the next iPhone to have and see whether it’s likely we’ll be seeing lots of adverts and retail boxes covered with iPhone X in the coming months. iPhone 8 | iPhone 8 Plus | iPhone Edition | iPhone 7S | iPhone 7S Plus iPhone 8 iPhone 8 Plus iPhone Edition iPhone 7S iPhone 7S Plus
The latest evidence of the iPhone X has appeared in the form of a retail box with the new name emblazoned on the side. It’s apparently from Dutch telecom provider KPN, and was accidentally sent to LetsGoDigital. LetsGoDigital
The image below has since been removed by the source website upon request, but as this is the internet we’ve still got a look at the reported iPhone X box below.
Something is a little strange about this story as the box has since been pulled, but the site originally reported it was sent by a marketing agency ready for an advertorial piece.
Apple releasing this kind of image early before the event is unprecedented and is a strange leak.
This comes as extra fuel for the iPhone X flames as we’ve already seen the name before as Twitter leaker Evan Blass believes it’ll be called this rather than the iPhone 8.
FWIW, I’ve also heard “iPhone X” (though not 8 / 8 Plus for the JV squad) as well as 9/15 pre-orders and 9/22 release / ship date. September 2,2017 September 2,2017
Blass hasn’t shared anymore details on what he thinks the iPhone X will eventually be called though.
The name iPhone X does make sense considering Apple is celebrating the tenth anniversary of the original iPhone this year, but it’s also not very like Apple to use letters without numbers.
iPhone Edition is another name we’ve heard rumored for the next phone from Apple, which would make more sense as the company has previously stocked a product called the Apple Watch Edition. iPhone Edition Apple Watch
We won’t know the official name for the new phones until next week at the event on September 12, where we also expect to see the iPhone 7S, iPhone 7S Plus, Apple Watch 3 and perhaps even a 4K Apple TV .
