I would happily have more buttons on that iPhone if it just trims off some names.

My 4 bits (nibble) - edit: Changed the 2 to 4 to be correct, but now the preface doesn’t make sense. Not my day.

If this is an official Apple graphic, missing the (T) or the © or the ® in the artwork, so the name might be legit but not the graphics.

PROTIP: wait for the Extreme Edition, coming out soon.

Wait, why do we have words for 1, 4, and 8 bits, but nothing for 2 bits?

Don’t forget that Apple, existing as it does in its own special universe where Roman numerals are still cool, thinks that the Iphone X is pronounced “Iphone ten,” so they will think that the XS will be called the “ten ess.”

Don’t we just all love that feeling… self-righteous cringe (while showing it off to others) is best cringe. :roll_eyes:
