would be called "iPhone 10", running "iOS 10".
The number of iphone has nothing to do with what Apple calls it. As noted by @The Doctor11 this isn't going to be the 10th iPhone. They've had other models, since you need to account for the S models, and the 5c.would be called "iPhone 10", running "iOS 10".
If Microsoft can do it, so can Apple!If they were going to do that, the iPhone 4s would be the iPhone 5 and so on. No way they are going to skip 7-9 and go straight to the 10.
How do you get to that number? I cannot figure out how to account for iPhones and arrive at the number 10, even if I exclude the S model and consider that part of the non-s generation.So yes this would be he 10th generation but zero chance of them calling this the iPhone 10
I see, it looks like the plus and 5c. I was reading too much into the word generation.
- iPhone 2G
- iPhone 3G
- iPhone 3GS
- iPhone 4
- iPhone 4s
- iPhone 5
- iPhone 5s
- iPhone 6
- iPhone 6s
- iPhone 10.

I think I was just unusually (or usually? ) obtuse and not getting itYeah its just because the plus phones came out the same time, so they are the same generation as the 6 and 6s.
Indeed, but it worked awfully for the "New iPad". Their 'new name every 2 generations' thing they got going now is also awful IMO.I think they're more likely to do away with numerical nomenclature altogether.
I completely agree. At least the iPad mini line somewhat makes sense (after they renamed the iPad mini with Retina Display to the iPad mini 2).Indeed, but it worked awfully for the "New iPad". Their 'new name every 2 generations' thing they got going now is also awful IMO.
Call it iPhone 2016 and be done with it.

No. It's not a "new" in the same way the 5C was not a new phone.So that'd make iPhone SE the 10th iPhone.

To be clear, I don't care. I'm simply making the case that if the iPhone 5C had a unique internals/externals combo and doesn't "count" in this scenario, then the SE doesn't either.The casing is different, the name is different, the internals are different - many of them even bettering 6; the only thing constant is a 4.0" screen. It may as well be considered a new one.

Yes it is different than the 6 series, but it is still the same generation as the 6s series though, it doesn't bring new specs to the table. It's just smaller form factor, so this wouldn't start a new generation.
This fall will bring the 10th generation, likely called iphone 7

Someone who mocks people speculating in other threads, makes a thread to speculate on the next iPhone being called the iPhone 10. Skipping iPhone 7-9 in the process. Priceless.
FYI: they "skipped" the "2" as well. Went from "iphone" to "iphone 3g" and then "iphone 3gs". Did you call them out on that? This year, they could name it iphone 10. you never know.
