While not all of these models have seen hardware changes, there&#8217;s one thing for certain, each new iPhone has had a different name. <\/p>\n<p>With Apple set to announce iPhone 4 at this years Worldwide Developers Conference in June, we pose the question; What should Apple call their next iPhone? <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>In 2007 Apple released the iPhone, and as revolutionary as it was, it was just marketed as an &#8216;iPhone&#8217;. With the device&#8217;s predecessor being the iPod, from a marketing perspective it was clear to the market this was an Apple product from the consistent use of the &#8216;i&#8217; branding, and it was a phone. Hence, iPhone. <\/p>\n<p>Then in 2008, Apple released the next iPhone which had both a different look and supported connections over a 3G network. The only problem was, Apple could no longer convey the device supported 3G just by marketing it as the &#8216;iPhone&#8217;. Instead they tacked 3G onto the end. Becoming, the iPhone 3G. <\/p>\n<p>Finally, in 2009 Apple released the next iPhone. A device which didn&#8217;t change in its appearance, but gained a faster processor, compass and more. Yet again though, Apple hit a snag. It couldn&#8217;t call this the <em>&#8220;iPhone 3G Just a Little Faster&#8221;<\/em>. Instead, it had to think smart, with the company tacking an &#8216;s&#8217; onto the end of iPhone 3G, becoming the iPhone 3Gs <em>(according to Apple, S standing for Speed)<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>With <a href=\"http:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2010\/05\/05\/next-iphone-to-record-1280x720-hd-video\/\" target=\"_blank\">recent findings<\/a> highlighted by @MacRumors pointing to the next iPhone, to be release this year, being capable of recording HD video up to 1280 x 720; Will the next iPhone be dubbed iPhone HD? But what if next year Apple release a revision to that iPhone and it then has a faster processor? Will this then become the iPhone HDs?<\/p>\n<p>Where do you stop? Seriously Apple. Are we one day going to end up with an <em>iPhone HDsx5<\/em>? &#8212; Wait, don&#8217;t answer that. And so, we pose the question to you all again; What should Apple call their next iPhone?
