Apple iPhone: When G and S kissed and made up
By Maggie Holland in Editorial
It would seem even Apple has days where it changes its mind about things seemingly previously set in stone.
Just last week, its next generation, super speedy iPhone launched, dubbed iPhone 3G S. Notice the space between the 3G and S part of the moniker?
Much as it pained us to do so, we respected this branding in everything we’ve written about the device thus far. But from now on, we’re just going to write iPhone 3GS. It looks neater, makes more sense and all that jazz. What’s more, it also appears that that’s how Apple plans to write it from now on too.
The web is awash with news stories focusing on how Apple has done a - very small, granted - u-turn on this new naming convention, but as yet Apple hasn’t released an official statement. Instead, it just didn’t use the extra spacing when it announced that its new device had sold one million units in just three days.
We first assumed this was just a typo. But then we glimpsed at the historical press releases and announcements about the 3G S, sorry 3GS - over the last week or two - all of which used to have an extra space, but now do not.
Is there a spacing shortage somewhere else, which Apple has kindly donated to, or has it just seen sense?
