The iPhone 7S is going to become the iPhone 8 in 2017, this is the information that the latest rumors suggest about Apple's iPhone series. In the last week I found out that the phone that I knew under the name iPhone 8 will actually be called iPhone X or iPhone Edition, with higher chances that the first name will be chosen, while the second will remain just a rumor.
iPhone 7S is the logical name that everyone expects this year for the successor to the iPhone 7, especially since there will be minor changes for this model. The iPhone 8, or iPhone X, will be the model that will bring the big improvements this year for the iPhone series of Apple's phones, so the iPhone 7S comes with minor improvements, which would not be "worth" moving to a completely new figure, which suggests major changes.
If the iPhone 7S comes with minor changes, it should have this name, but last year Apple did not make a design change for the iPhone 7 and still suggested that it made a major update. In this idea, even if the iPhone 7S will come with not very important changes, those from Apple can choose the name iPhone 8 for it just for the simple fact that they can and that from a marketing point of view it is easier to promote the phone.
iPhone 7S will become iPhone 8 in 2017
The iPhone 7S will have a glass case and wireless charging implemented by Apple, many people were waiting for these changes in the iPhone 7 last year. Some might argue that the change in the iPhone 7S case is big enough to "deserve" replacing the name with the iPhone 8, but if Apple will do this, it will only do so for marketing reasons and not for other reasons.
We know that the iPhone 7S will clearly have fewer novelties than the iPhone X, and Apple will have to somehow make it clear that the lower model is still worth buying. Giving it the name iPhone 8 might convince some people to look more carefully at it, but that does not guarantee the success of the iPhone 7S, although the iPhone X would also be available in extremely limited quantities on the market.
iPhone 7S will still be cheaper than iPhone X, by up to 200-300 dollars even, so many will turn to it just thanks to this. Regardless of what Apple's plans are for the iPhone 7S, iPhone 8, or iPhone X, on September 12, I'm waiting for you on iDevice.ro starting at 19:30 to discuss everything that the American company is going to present to us.
