Will the next update to iPhone 8 become iPhone 9, even though iPhone X will have already been out for a while? They can’t just skip over a number and not use it. And just when I got used to using the TouchID with my fingerprint, now will have to use my face - hope I don’t mangle it!
Still using my iphone 3GS. I’ll be skipping a lot of numbers when I finally upgrade.
“They can’t just skip over a number and not use it.”
Microsoft did.
They won’t be making an iPhone 9.
Too many smart-asses would be saying “I’m saying nein to the iPhone 9.”
Why not? Samsung skipped an entire number range with the Samsung Galaxy Note 6 and just jumped from 5 to 7. Apple was going to release their iPhone 7 and 7 plus in September, and Samsung figured they would look silly releasing their new flagship phablet as the Galaxy Note 6 just a few months before their main competitor released a 7 model, it would make Samsung look like they were always behind. So, they jumped ahead with a 7 model. . . which, er, blew up in their face, so to speak, as numerous units did indeed blow up or catch fire, requiring them to all be recalled just as Apple's iPhone 7 and 7 plus hit the market.
