Apple may go the “Pro” naming route with the next-gen iPhone models.
CoinX, a noted and reliable Twitter leaker, said that Apple looks like it will use the Pro suffix branding for the new iPhone.
The source previously corrected named the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR a week before their debut. They also stated the exact weight of the XS Max, described the default wallpaper set and even the asymmetric grille hole arrangement seen in the iPhone XS line.
While CoinX doesn’t clarify the naming, he stated that there are several ways Apple could incorporate the “Pro” moniker into its upcoming iPhone lineup.
This could mean that Apple is readying an “iPhone” and “iPhone Pro” tiered lineup, using the new XR as the “iPhone” and the triple-camera iPhone 11 as “iPhone Pro”.
Apple could also retain the numbers and opt for both “iPhone 11” and “iPhone 11” product names upon launch.
The “Pro” features could model themselves after the current rumors and incorporate a new square camera bump which incorporates a third, ultra-wide, lens. The three lenses are arranged in a triangular configuration. There have also been some discussions of a new matte texture for the back glass.
Other rumors for the next-gen iPhones center around new antennas for precise indoor positioning, the 7 nanometer A13 processor, and bilateral wireless charging that will allow users to charge their AirPods by placing them on the back of the iPhone.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
