Many have made fun of the new names using roman numerals and moving to "Max" instead of "Plus", but I think it all makes a lot of sense when you look at the larger picture. They are clearly making a major change to the product line and the way we all think of the product line. They don't want the Xs Max to be seen as the newer 8 Plus, it's a completely new, higher-end product.

- wvenable 8y agoThey needed to move to "Max" instead of "Plus" because it's significantly larger than the "plus" model phones. They should have just gone with iPhone XS++. :)
- ltc5505 8y agoiPhone XS with classes.
- draw_down 8y agoUltimately the names don't matter that much and people place way too much importance on it.
- chaoticmass 8y agoI know the X is pronounced as "ten" but I can't help reading the XS model as "excess" instead of "ten s" in my head. I have a hard time imagining no one in Apple marketing noticed this.
- rorykoehler 8y agoIt is just a larger version of the XS just like plus is a larger 8. The name is irrelevant if the facts don’t change.
- FabHK 8y agoNope, the "Max" is just a larger version. The "Plus" phones, however, had other distinguishing features apart from the size, such as a better camera.
