This is according to rumours that the company is embracing Roman numerals to mark its 10th anniversary milestone.
The source suggests it will be launched alongside two phones will be called the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus - which could mean Apple is skipping an 's' generation for the first time since it was introduced.
Last week it was revealed the company is unveiling the next iPhone at a special event at its campus in California on September 12th.
Iphone X Rumours
Several rumours have been circulating about the iPhone 8/ iPhone X, and suggest the next device may have:
- Dual-lens 3D camera
- Augmented reality capabilities
- Curved glass casing
- Wireless charging
- 5 inch (12.7 centimeter) and 5.8 inch (14.7 centimeter) model, will have a wraparound OLED screen
- Aluminum back will be replaced with two reinforced glass panes and a metal frame in the middle

The Dutch technology site iCulture has cited a 'reliable source' as giving them the information about the anniversary handset.
'This source has previously informed us correctly about the existence of the 10.5-inch iPad Pro and is working with a worldwide operating telecom company,' explained the site.
Senior Editor of The iPhone Insider Aaron Mason released leaked images of the new release yesterday and called it the 'Apple iPhone X Edition'.
However, previous sources have said the iPhone X will be called the iPhone Edition.
9to5Mac said on Friday that case manufacturers it spoke to at the IFA trade show in Germany have been advised that the top of the range handset will instead be known as the iPhone Edition.
The handsets will be unveiled at a special event on 12th September in the Steve Jobs Theatre inside it new 'Spaceship' HQ in Cupertino.
The firm sent invites to key media for the event on 1 September, which is also expected to see the launch of an iPhone 7s and 7s Plus, a new version of the Apple Watch and a new 4K Apple TV.
It is believed the new iPhone X along with the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus will go on sale on September 22nd.
The latest claims from the Wall Street Journal are that 'The company is expected to unveil three iPhones, according to other people familiar with its plans.'
The launch will be the first event at the Steve Jobs theatre at Apple Park, the official name for the firm's giant 'Spaceship' HQ.
Even though the theatre will be complete, many of the surround areas of 'the ring' remain under final construction it is believed.
It comes as leaked images appear to show parts taken from the upcoming iPhone 8/ iPhone X in unprecedented detail.
The images, posted to Twitter by leaker Benjamin Geskin on 20 August, claim to show the iPhone X's OLED display cover and a variety of cables, including for the Lightning port.
One of the photos, originally found on Chinese social media site Weibo, shows the iPhone Xs' display compared to that of the iPhone 7.
This confirms rumours about the two handsets' similar overall size.
