WHY WERE THERE NEITHER WINDOWS 9 NOR IPHONE 9 ?
There is no Windows 9 because Windows 10 sounds better.
Microsoft even made a joke about it, saying that they went to 10 because 7 8 9
(seven ate nine). Really, though, it was just marketing. This is the last
version of Windows (in that Microsoft is simply going to update Windows 10
perpetually, and when it comes to a name, Windows 10 sounds better than Windows
9 if it you’re going to be stuck with it forever.
There is no iPhone 9 because the numbers in the iPhone have
almost never made sense. The iPhone 4 was the only actual iPhone where the
number was the same as the generation. Given that it is the 10th anniversary,
it made sense to call it the iPhone X. It sounds better. Also, I have a feeling
Apple is trying to move away from the number system (it could just be wishful
thinking on my part). However, same as Microsoft, they go with whatever sounds
good to market. iPhone X works. The other model is iPhone 8 because they just
did iPhone 7. I hope marketing comes up with something better by 2018, but I
don’t have high hopes given the mess that Apple’s naming convention has been on
iPhones.
