Since the release of the second generation iPhone SE one of the most common questions I’ve received is why Apple didn’t name it the iPhone 9. In fact, many people think it’s strange that the number has been skipped altogether. So in this video I’m going to explain some of the history behind Apple’s naming strategies with their products, and what influenced their decision to skip the iPhone 9. - Наука та технологія
Quick Answer: It was the iPhone's 10th year anniversary

Thanks
Makes sense

Thank you I did not have 8 minutes for this 😂
Apple : skipps the 9
Samsung: i'm gonna skip every number from 11 - 19!

Mohammad Apple makes us wonder to explore stuff more like when they made the apple pencil, and make us more curious to life
In classical music there is something called the curse of the 9th refering to the symphony. Some composers even skipped the 9th symphony (Mahler calling what was effectively his 9th symphony The Song of the Earth).
It would have been really smart if Apple took that into account.
it's occult stuff. 9 means ending.
who?
It originated after I died (before finishing my 10th Symphony).
@@andymerrett Very funny. It's not that.
Why would that have been smart? Do you believe in that superstition, or do you just mean because it might not sell as well for that reason?
This was a similar approach where Microsoft skipped Windows 9 and went from 8.1 to 10
microsoft skipped windows 9 to avoid the confusion with the windows 9x os engine (i mean the named the xbox one like that loe)
thats because a lot of computer apps are coded to search for the number 9 in the windows os to identify windows 95/98 so making it windows 9 would create a lot of glitches, bugs and problems that could be avoided if only they just name it windows 10 so they did
i like to think since there's 8 and 8.1 that 8.1 is windows 9

I think it also helped move more units, since the iPhone X was where the iPhone took on a full screen design and shifted the design in a somewhat drastic way
I’ve been waiting for a UA-camr to transition to a advertisement from the video smoothly like this forever. No one else does it like this guy. And THATS why I subscribed.

If we could
Apple: **Skips the 9**
Microsoft: You're not the only one here
Green Squid SOOO TRUE, 8->10 for both brands!
Syed Azan Ali 8.1->10 lmaoooo
MS had a very practical reason though - a lot of software just detected at startup the first symbol of Windows name, and if it saw "9" it immediately assumed it's Windows 9x and refused to run on "unsupported" OS...
zimolag Hmmm That’s A Bit Interesting !
@@BRNSTRM 8.1 could secretly mean 8+1 = 9. lol
for anyone wondering, its the 10th year anniversary for apple, meaning X (10)
so the 9 didnt need to be in the lineup, they also skipped the iphone 2, went straight to the 3g and 3gs
:)
Because the original iPhone was named "iPhone 2G" so if you say "iPhone 2" it will be confusing.
Your videos have being concise and to the point. So was really surprised with this one. I think the whole could have easily been conveyed under 5 minutes. Thought about sharing my feedback, if it helps you in anyway.
That was a quick transition to the sponsored segment lmao
quick but smooth
I was on the alert to fast fwd through it thanks to your warning 👍
that was nice and smooth
Yeah watch his other videos he does it so well the transitioning of ads
Tristan Cabreros - It’s still too dang annoying to have them in there to begin with. I mean I PAY a subscription to get rid of ads, including sponsored ads. We don’t need any of this implemented into these videos!
Also having the iPhone 9 would look pretty bad to be selling next to the iPhone 11
I would think the iPhone 10 is newer than lol
Synergy he meant that if they would have released the iphone 9 the same year with then iphone 11 he/the people would think the iphone 10 is newer
Plus it has less cameras then iphone 8
@@GoTouchSumGrass. Affordable hahahah
shunk lmao
I always though of the iPhone XR as being like the iPhone 9. It had the design of the iPhone X, but had the LCD display of the iPhone 8
I realize this is an old video but I fell like chiming in. MacOS did something similar. When they switched from classic to Unix based, they went from OS9 to OSX. From that point MacOSX was a brand new product and all updates were prefixed by 10. You could have easily called them OSX 1-15 instead but they wanted to keep the image of evolution of the Mac brand. (Until macOS rename and then os11 changed things.)
So the X name signified a new product line with both MacOS and iPhone. Considering the 8 and the X came out at the same time this makes even more sense. Really the iPhones without a home button are all iPhone X and ones with the home button are non X. (So that new 13 is really a X3 since the X was an X0.)
Bro really wrote an entire essay on this
X is for ten, ten anniversary, thats why it is called X.
You don't think he already said that?
Samuel Vista you don’t think you already said that?

Windows: Can I copy your homework?
Apple: Sure, but change up a little bit.
Windows 10
The XR was the "9" (it's the immediate successor to the 8) but they had already released the X (10). So instead of looking like they took a step back they called it XR because R is right before S.

It’s his talent. Same with his every other video, it’s just “personal opinion”. I noticed none of his videos are actually real. Like he just tells people his opinion of things as if they are said by Apple themselves. Like “Why Apple puts stickers in their boxes” and it’s just a video of him telling that it’s for “brand identity”

I thought it was because the 10 made a big innovation so they wanted a big special cool number such as 10, then making it more fancy by calling it x
let me simplify it, companies like to skip the number 9 because the number 10 is a very impressive number in contrast to 9. and thats all you need to know.

Because it was support 2G Internet

Fun fact: the iPhone XR’s name was inspired by the traditional naming convention of special or definitive sports cars. Since “R” is also before “S”, this makes the iPhone XR the only iPhone with a pun for a name.

Technically, the XR was the 9. Because the XR was an upgrade from the 8 and then the X was an upgrade from the XR because it had better features along with an OLED screen, whereas the XR had a LCD. This is all regardless of whenever they were released.
Hmm maybe
Microsoft skips Windows 9. Apple takes inspiration from Microsoft and skips the iPhone 9.
I think Microsoft is likely to skip the number 9 and jump straight to 10, in order to not throw off any confusions with win 95, 98.

@@Star-Man joke
It took me 30 seconds to realize that was a sponsored ad lol
Back in the day, they had a Mac SE that was kind of similar in niche as the iPhone SE
7 ate 9, the iPhone 11 was the 11th iPhone to be released because of the XS and XR coming after X instead of 11. So it all worked out in the end.
Bruh the sponsered segment transition was so smooth i didnt even realise it came until he said 'link below'
same, i almost thought it was part of the video
I think a big reason was the fact that they needed to release X during the 10 year anniversary. There were already 2 other phones aside from the X being released that year(8 & 8+) having a third would be useless since it would most likely have the same design as the 8 and having 3 different new ones sold beside it,it just wouldn’t sell itself. I don’t think they will ‘nor should use the 9 name
other reasons for no 9.
1. industry standard version numbers by skipping they can play catchup to have 10s across the board.
2. the number "9" has some slang meaning that may be offensive or may cause some issues with the police and black community.
3. 9 was a maintenance release (lots of software developers do maintenance updates and test versions without a public release)
4. the 3g was a carrier protocol so it probably was to line up with that
of course then we would see the "iphone lte" and "iphone 5g"
5. the skipping of 9 could be a technical issue similar to what happens if you stick the ".sex" extension onto a file say for example naming a file "1.sex" in osx 10.15 catalina.
for some reason the ".sex" name causes the "icon services agent to run at 100% cpu and the finder to also run 100% cpu and spin the pinwheel of death.
the only way out if it is to open the terminal and navigate to where you have the offending file and delete it then force quit the finder and icon services agent.
Also, the iPhone SE 2020 has a faster processor than the iPhone X, which would add to the confusion, as people would expect it to have a slower processor than the iPhone X, if it was named iPhone 9.
*correction: with a recent ios update the charging speed of the iPhones has been nerfed to 5w or 1a on almost all wireless chargers*
When I first heard it, I thought it was different, yes, but I thought it was a cool expensive iPhone not in-line in the iPhone series due to being characterized by a letter. Only 2 years later did I realize the iPhone SE was the only iPhone outside the original lineup, characterized by a completely different name.
I use the iPhone se 2022
Good to the point where I can find a way
God damn that was a nice Segway for the charger
0:06 Because 7 8 9
I literally hear people call it the iPhone “ex 11 pro” 🤦♂️
Or the people calling the iPhone SE for iPhone 5 SE or iPhone 5s SE. Probably gonna be people calling 2nd generation iPhone SE for iPhone 8 SE.
Diego Husum people call it that?
@@hu5um I mean it basically is that
If ppl call the iPhone se the iPhone 5s se or iphone 5 se i would change the 5 to 6 bc the iPhone 6’s were released before the first iPhone se
Me to my friend: Your mum use a iPhone 10?
My friend: It's iPhone X dumb ass
I’ve always thought they chose to call it iPhone X to mark the end of an era. Similar to how they chose OSX to mark the end of OS9’s era. i bet they chose to do that with this phone and so chose to skip 9 in order to have the cool factor over the iPhone 8. The iPhone X just sounds cool.
i mean yeah, they redid the whole formula of iphones from then on
