Apple May Change iPhone Name After 9 Years, It's Alleged

Apple has been criticized for not innovating for many years. It was said that this cycle could be broken at the event Apple planned to hold on June 9, and that iOS 26 could be introduced by saying goodbye to iOS 19 and facing a new numbering system. A new one has been added to these claims. On the iPhone side, iPhone 27 could be introduced instead of iPhone 18.

WILL THE NUMBERING SYSTEM OF iPHONES CHANGE?

Apple used to introduce the phones it introduced on the iPhone side without a suffix, and another year by naming them as 's'. However, this strategy was abandoned with the iPhone 11 series. In the new period, the models were introduced normally. After the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini models, the mini models were removed.

Previously, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that Apple will introduce 6 new iPhones every year starting from 2026.

According to Kuo, models such as the iPhone 18 Air, iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max and iPhone 18 Fold will be introduced in September of next year. The iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e models will arrive in March 2027.

In addition, it is said that with the change to be made on the naming side, the iPhone 18s will be referred to as iPhone 27.

Again, the reason for this is that the device models and operating system version models are intended to be matched. In the coming days, we will see whether this strategy is real or just a claim.
