Everyone thought people were going to make tampon jokes about the iPad Pro ("maxipad"), but as far as I know it hasn't caught on. I don't think this will either, for the same reason. People who buy the phone won't call it that because they sunk so much cost into it. The only ones who might call it the iPhone excess are die hard android users, but those don't communicate much with iPhone users (at least not in such an aggressive way in real life, outside forums), so the phrase won't get any traction.

There were feminine hygiene product jokes about the iPad when it came out. It was too obvious to be funny.

That said, all the super duper max promax naming seems lame to me.

There were, but it hasn't caught on long term. I don't think the "iPhone excess" will either.
There is no "iPad Max"?
Sorry, people were saying this about the iPad Pro. I've updated my post.
I still don't get it though.
