Counterclockwise: naming things  is hard,  so every new phone is called the "One"

07 April 2019
HTC One, OnePlus One, Android One, Google One, tech companies don't have much imagination when it comes to naming things.

According to my satirical humor, somewhat phone models named after Peanuts, for example. Nokia E63 Snoopy and Nokia E71 Snoopy Silver.

    Anonymous, 08 Apr 2019Oneplus one = Oneplus TwoIt's look like a math here

      Xperia for instance makes these things worst with it naming system. :/ Xperia 1, Xperia 1ii, Xperia 1iii.... Very confusing :(

        "One" usully mean it is the "only" thing you will need. Xbox one, had to replace multimedia centre, and do all your movie watching and cable tv and gaming as "one" device. Same with google one or Microsoft onedrive. One place to store your digital shit :) but yeah now it looks really stupid, cause usaully "one does everything" does everything in mediocre fashion :)

          Well, it's some what cooler to name a phone with weird words. Like Samsung S10 Uvuvuvwe or Iphone X Chupacabra

Every iPhone before the XS (5s, 6s, 6s Plus) was actually stylized with a lower case s. This is the first iDevice to have an upper case S masquerading as an ickle one.
            Something about being consistent in their inconsistencies...

Even on this page you provided are Xs and XS together and not just as a logo. What the hell... The little s looks exactly like their sufix on earlier model for example 4s, 5s and 6s. I bet the result with copy/paste would be the same if you did it with 5s. It's not 5S. Oh well...

                  Well it could be very funny to name Phones after pokemons for example.
                  S10E should be Charmander, S10 charmeleon and S10+ Charizard.
                  Just for example.

                  Or Deity, Divine and God.

                      Copy-and-paste the text from Apple's own product page (link below), it looks like an upper-case X and a lower-case S, but when pasting it into a text editor, you'll see that both characters are upper case.

                      It's disappointing that I have to know these silly nuances for my job :(
