    Personally, I prefer the “iPhone 1 irrelevant mm thinner than it’s predecessor due to Jony Ive’s obsessions which border on mental illness”, but I do recognize that’s a bit of mouthful… 😉

    I say go back to names like the way Android names their OS’ but not the way Samsung and Apple name their phones.

    I want to go back to the time when Windows CPUs were named after Roman tyrants such as Pentium. ?

    Most naming schemes suck nowadays – cars are just a mishmash of letters and numbers and the same is true with electronics now. I say go back to names like the way Android names their OS’ but not the way Samsung and Apple name their phones.
