I predict that Apple will drop the iPhone name next year. It makes sense. It is kind of time to move away from Steve Jobs legacy... not that it's holding anything back, but that time has passed and the success it brought needs to be celebrated, not photocopied. And if you look their naming routine lately, you'll see some signs pointing to it. Apple Watch. watchOS. macOS. Apple Music. And wouldn't celebrating the 10th anniversary of one of the single biggest game changers in electronics history with a fresh new name on a hot new design be a great way to start off the next exciting chapter?
I predict Apple Phone.
Thoughts?

We are in the same boat. Same phone and shipping date. We need to pray hard tonight lol

I doubt it. Why change it this late in the game? They should just drop the number. Just call it iPhone and iPhone Plus.
Just imagine in 20 years... iPhone 27 and iPhone 27 plus
Lmao.
Change is natural. Change is good. Think about it... yeah, iTunes still exists, but, for the most part, it's been relegated to hidden folders and into obscurity. It's Apple Music now. A change like that would be organic. I personally feel that the whole "i" thing has run its course. It was a smash hit, a cultural icon, and it was incredible. But Apple Phone feels newer... fresher... more modern. Cleaner.
But if they don't change it, I would love to see Apple pull a Microsoft naming moment... iPhone 10. Screw 8 and 9.
So, when apple says all iphone pluses are sold out, does it mean they are focusing on preorders and then physical carrier stores will get inventory?
Will they change iMac and iPad too then? Seems unlikely. I do like the simplification of names they've been doing lately though.

Correct. Every phone on those planes is already spoken for by preorder customers.
You guys sucked me in! I've been reading the last two days and finally had to make an account to add to the discussion. I have a 7+ RG 128 that has a shipping number and a 7+ black 128 with nothing yet. Much like the person that mentioned the starbucks emails...YES! YES! Totally me here!
The iMac would be easy. That would simply be Mac. It's still distinctive enough to differentiate between all the other models, it still holds most of its original name, but it's refreshed. But the iPad is hard to think of a replacement name for.

Your order for the iPhone 7 Plus Black 128GB has been received and will ship by 9/30 if ordered before 11AM CT on 9/13. Your order will deliver 10/10-10/19 if ordered after 11AM CT on 9/13. You may track the progress of your order at www.sprint.com/myorder. Additionally, keep an eye out for a shipping email with your tracking information. Thank you for your patience.
Same here Really hoping we are just reading too much into it. seems strange that other models with shipping times that are still much farther out are shipping, but the 256 matte black is not.
Dunno. I have Apple Watch PTSD. Took a month to get mine and I was a 12:01 buyer.
Yep I'm having the same message but I'm doubting that I'll get the phone tomorrow as I still have no shipping email
iPhone 7 Plus JB 256GB
Umm yeah I've just accepted the fact I'll see my phone on 9/26 or 9/27.
Would've been a nice birthday gift though lol if it had come tomorrow.

Same.
Recent chat with Sprint asking about delivery. IP7+ 128 Matte Black ordered at 11:50(ish) am on 9/9.

Would rather them just say "piss off".
I'd give them points for honesty.
Just checked and it looks like the delivery date for my 7 Plus 256gb matte black has been quietly pushed back. Now I am legit mad. What the hell was the point in the preorder? There are people out there scoring them in-store and others have gotten them, even though they ordered well after I did. Up yours, Sprint.
Dude it's not just sprint, it's all the carriers. Apple is at fault for not shipped a suffient supply to meet the demand
