Bloomberg's Mark Gurman revealed some interesting tidbits about Apple with his weekly "Power On" email newsletter. Gurman, addressing the biggest unknown about the the 2021 iPhone series, made it known that he doesn't care for either possible name rumored to be under consideration for the upcoming handsets: iPhone 12s or iPhone 13. The former, he feels, diminishes the value of the line.
Gurman also says that the iPhone numbers are getting so large that using the "S" in the title is beginning to sound "awkward." He also notes that the number 13 is an unlucky number in many countries although in China the number 13 is believed to be lucky. And in the same country, 9 is considered to be an unlucky number. Gurman asks, "Notice how we never got an iPhone 9?" although that doesn't appear to be a real question being asked.
