Apple Is Replacing Faulty First Gen iPod Nanos With Current Gen Models
Guess who’s getting a free iPod in the mail?
iPhone Naming Sequence
The first iPhone was called iPhone. The next one was iPhone 3G, which meant never calling anything iPhone 2. The iPhone 3G was then followed, not by iPhone 4 or 4G, but by iPhone 3GS.
When Apple decided to release the next iPhone after the 3GS, the logical name was iPhone 4. Not only did it sound good as a follow up to the 3GS, but it was also the 4th model of iPhone.
Now Apple is releasing an iPhone 4S, but it is actually the 5th iPhone model that has hit the market. So, when the next iteration is ready to be announced in a year or so, calling it iPhone 5 sounds like it makes the most sense, except it is really the 6th iPhone. But, calling it iPhone 6 just wouldn’t sound right as the next model to follow up an iPhone 4S. I assume they will still just call it iPhone 5, and follow it with an iPhone 5S, and then maybe just start referring to them as iPhone again. Nerds can announce that their’s is an iPhone mid-2013, but maybe at that point we can just settle on calling the product iPhone.

Should You Buy AppleCare?
Due to my issues with my iPod Nano, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about this very topic.
