Details
While $page->template() returns the actually used template, $page->intendedTemplate() returns the name of the content file, i.e.
Assuming you have a content file article.txt, then $page->intendedTemplate()->name() will return article.
This method is therefore particularly useful to fetch or filter pages that don't have a corresponding template in the templates folder.
Examples
