Apple is planning to name its next generation the 'iPhone 6SE' instead of the iPhone 7, as it will not be a major redesign, according to an apfelpage.de report.

Chinese manufacturers assume that the next Apple cell phone called "iPhone 6SE". According to our information, packaging are produced also in the accessories industry, which are marked with the name.

The iPhone 6SE would be the direct successor of the iPhone 6s, says the source. So far the Chinese manufacturer has only revealed 'iPhone 6SE' as the alleged name of the 4.7 inch model. No details were shared on the name of the 5.5-inch model but presumably it would be the iPhone 6SE Plus.

While this rumor can't be confirmed as of yet, it would make sense for Apple to keep similar name to the iPhone 6s, since it appears very likely to be keeping a similar design.

Cant believe this is true.. Would be huge marketeting failure - since competitor has been for while in S7 so anything below 7 gives wrong assosiation when comparing the products.

If this were true, Apple naming convention would truly become a big chaotic mess that would cause all kinds of confusion on customers. What Apple is known for is simple, beautiful products that "just work". This name is boring, confusing, and complicated!

If you think about it, the iPhone SE was named like that when it has the style of the iPhone 5s, but with the 6s features, so based on the name here 6se, it's a 6s with extra features because of how SE is used so I wouldn't say it's boring, confusing, or complicated, but with extra it does help differentiate whichever generations were released before and after as if some product had an abbreviation of 1A or 1B then a 2 comes along and so on.

Could be so but the iPhone SE has no 5 in it just iPhone SE so your days that because the 5s had the 6s features that's why ok so where's the 5SE then that would make better sense. I'm smelling that could be the end of the naming and a reset for the smaller iPhones iPhone SE 2 and so on the 6SE with same name would mean that there will be 3 phones now in a new line up. This is indeed confusing rubbish. This will be there last version of this design. I see nothing broken here so why fix offer change the design no matter if it's a 7,8 or 9 there will always be a size for every hands the round edges and from screen, WTF else people are asking for 3 or 4 cameras the body will be the same. Hog wash bad idea. I don't give a rat's about the name calling.

I guess the next iPhone's design and features is not worthy to be called iPhone 7. Apple is no long the leader.

Goodbye apple

Goodbye, once known smart one.

This is probably to show some big updates to make up for those who didn't like what they got in the 6s if they thought it was little to offer. At least this one can be told apart from the others now.

gamerscul9870 - July 25, 2016 at 4:08pm
