Most likely, Apple’s next smartphone version will be named iPhone 12S because it wants to avoid number 13, which is considered unlucky.
According to newly disclosed information, it is likely that the upcoming iPhone from Cupertino will be called iPhone 12S, instead of being called iPhone 13.
During the YouTube Front Page Tech show on January 20, celebrity leaker Jon Prosser said, “A few weeks ago, I was told that Apple’s upcoming smartphone is called the iPhone 12S”.
If true, the iPhone 12S will be a continuation of Apple’s old naming habits. Years ago, the “defective apple” continuously released upgraded versions of the S generation such as iPhone 4S, iPhone 5S, iPhone 6S or most recently, iPhone XS. However, the company has never produced the S model for the iPhone 7, iPhone 8 or iPhone 11. It is likely that the S model will be revived on the upcoming Apple smartphone version.
However, Apple has never shied away from using this number, we can see good examples like iOS 13 and iPadOS 13. Even when Asian countries have superstitious views shunned 4, Apple still don’t hesitate to create iPhone 4.
Currently, Jon Prosser is in the top 6 leaker with the most accurate prediction of Apple products with a series of previous predictions.
