i think there was some oblique PR statement from apple like eleventy years ago that said it was not "an iPhone" but just "iPhone"

bad: "I bought a iPhone"
good: "I bought iPhone"

or some poo poo like that, and people have made a lot of fun of it for a long time since then

i go a 7 a week and a half ago on IUP but returned it a few days back because the hiss was a real thing and loving annoying. phone cpus should not make noise. not sure if it's worth it to try and get another or just wait.

that said the new home button was extremely good and ios 10 was far more responsive than on my 6 which i'm using again for now. i didn't try to use the missing headphone jack so it wasn't made into an issue. thats my story for now, hope u liked it.

quote:

64 GB iPod touch, iPod nano (16 GB), fourth-generation iPod touch, iPod shuffle (3rd generation or later).

Use the numeral when the generation comes after the model name. Don’t shorten generation to gen or G; for example, fifth-gen iPod or iPod 5G.

OS X
The name of the Mac OS beginning with version 10.7. Use OS X, OS X Lion, or OS X Mountain Lion (or a later version name); don’t shorten to X. Don’t include Mac in the name unless you’re referring to a version earlier than v10.7. Note the space before X. Make sure to use a nonbreaking space (Option–Space bar) to keep all of the name on the same line.

On first occurrence, use the full name of the operating system, such as OS X Mountain Lion, with or without the version number. Thereafter, it’s OK to use the version name without OS X. Don’t use quotation marks or parentheses around the version name.

When indicating a version number of OS X, use version or v closed up, without a period, following OS X. When you use both OS X and the version name and number, these forms are acceptable:

quote:

OS X Lion version 10.7.2

quote:

OS X Lion v10.7.2

It’s OK to use parentheses around the version number when you use both the version name and number, but try to be consistent within a document.

quote:

Launchpad was introduced with OS X Lion (v10.7).

Version names of the Mac OS include Cheetah (v10.0), Puma (v10.1), Jaguar (v10.2), Panther (v10.3), Tiger (v10.4), Leopard (v10.5), Snow Leopard (v10.6), Lion (v10.7), and Mountain Lion (v10.8).

When you use version numbers and names for both Mac OS X and OS X versions in one sentence, put the version name first, followed by the version number.

quote:

Update to Mac OS X Snow Leopard v10.6.8, then upgrade to OS X Lion v10.7.2.

In developer materials, don’t use version names such as Lion; use version numbers only.

prepositions
It’s OK to end a sentence with a preposition, especially when rewriting would produce a stiff-sounding phrase.

Correct: Play a trailer you’re working on.
Correct: Select the playlist you want to add songs to.

The numbers are lower for the iphone so obviously that's the best. Also red is typically a color that indicates good things so boom, flawless apple victory again. Those small glyphs to the left of each row and probably meaningless so don't look at them.

yes, it turns out when operating with the screen and wifi off and not running any apps and the only thing powered on being the low power legacy baseband and audio codecs, the phone with the 2x larger battery lasts twice as long, regardless of the OS.
