People bitched and moaned about Microsoft jumping from Windows 8 to Windows 10 yet not a soul is talking about the absence of iPhone 9

See they went to a roman numeral, because it’s more innovative and 10 is more aesthetically pleasing than IX.
We really shouldn’t question the genius of Apple engineers.

Except they can differentiate between OS and iOS using wildcards. Microsoft’s reason doesn’t stand here

Because Apple can do no wrong

That’s more plausible
Who doesn’t want an iPhone X running iOS X? That’s two variables to solve for

There wasn’t an iPhone 2, either :p
And I don’t care about Apple shit anyway ;)

But that one makes sense. The 3G moniker was touting the phone’s latest-gen 3G radio technology. At least that skip had reasoning behind it

And iPhone X is celebrating 10 years of iPhone.

If it’s any consolation it was the first thing I said about it to a coworker. Releasing an iPhone 8 and iPhone X (pronounced iPhone ten—I saw this written somewhere) in the same day, how are people not going to notice this?!

You don’t remember that it was 10 years ago today that Steve Jobs CHANGED THE WORLD?

In that case I own a V6 Cadillac Eldorado with 550 factory hp and net 38 MPG

No. Ten years ago I was busy pulling out of the impending economic collapse

Bruh wrap some high grade cellophane with an apple logo on one of my dogs poop disposal bags and market it in a pandering, kitschy musically “woke” ad spot and you can guarantee selling them for $199 or $14 a month for 36 months

It’s because they’re all too busy circle-jerking about their iSuperiority to notice the skip.

Well I am. It bugs me, in spite of the 10th anniversary. But whatever, as long as they get the sku# right on my order.

Eh, cannondale skipped from CAAD-10 to CAAD-12. Marketing garbage.

I kinda had this thought earlier today but then thought maybe I just missed the 9.. As you can see I’m not exactly “with it” when it comes to Apple stuff. Funny enough I’ve subsidized multiple Apple devices/laptops/pc’s all demanded by my wife over the years but I’m a android/Windows guy.
