The result of the move request was: moved all as proposed. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 09:13, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

– There has been quite some discussion about whether to use spelled out ordinals, and these pages were recently moved back to numeric ordinals, while iPhone (first generation) remains intact. We should keep the usage of ordinals consistent. 159.118.81.240 (talk) 03:26, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Although Apple itself uses numbers to indicate generations, I think WP:ORDINAL should trump it. Support. gsk 03:37, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose longer titles for no good reason -- 70.24.250.235 (talk) 06:09, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support There's a precedent for car models that have multiple generations (e.g. Chevrolet Camaro, Ford Taurus, Honda Accord, etc...) using the spelled-out ordinals. I'm not biased towards either one, but seeing that there are many more spelled out ordinals as opposed to the numeric ordinals on Wikipedia (plus it's proper English anyways), I support moving those back to the spelled out ordinals.

Post-PC[edit]

This article is weakened by the absence of a Legacy section, and of any mention of the term "post-PC", which was a huge part not just of its marketing, but of tech coverage. DFlhb (talk) 04:12, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Durability[edit]

I was wondering if a chapter about the long-lasting quality would help. There still some units working, only restricted by missing software / encryption compatibility. --Gunnar (talk) 17:29, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
