But then went on to call the iPhone 20 "iPhone X". And then switched back to Arabic numerals with the iPhone 11.

Not to mention the "Plus" vs "Max" and all the other naming convention mismatches.

Anyway, I agree with you.

iPhone XR is the worst. The "X" is a number, the "R" is a letter. I just can't see it as anything but "ex-are".

pretty sure the only people that call it ten-are are apple store employees
