Frequently asked questions

Why isn't there a criticism/controversy section in this article?: While reliable sourced criticisms and controversies can be included in this article, criticism sections themselves are generally discouraged. As a result of this, criticisms of the iPhone have been interleaved throughout the article in the appropriate section. For example, criticism of Apple requiring iPhone owners to pay to have their phone's battery replaced is included in the battery section. See WP:NPOV and WP:CRIT for further information on criticism and controversy sections.
Where are the prices? Is the iPhone available in my country?: Under guideline WP:NOPRICES, street and retail prices are considered trivia items. Pricing concerns over the iPhone, as well as other issues related to carriers are covered in other iPhone-related Wikipedia articles.
Why "the iPhone" and not just "iPhone"?: Dropping the definite article is a marketing technique used by Apple. Unless such terminology is used by a majority of our reliable, secondary sources, our style guidelines require that we use the normal rules of English grammar to refer to subjects, and that requires the use of the definite article when using synecdoche to refer to one subject as if it were the whole group (the iPhone and not iPhones).

Need an iphone user to take a quick look at this

We are having difficulty finding another iphone user with an iphone bigger than the smaller iphone SE 2020 that I have. Most iphones are bigger. We only need a few minutes of your time for a {{sticky header}} test. If you have an iphone please have a look at this test:

Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Request for comment from other iphone users

Specifically: Please tell us if sticky table headers work without problems in these sandboxes:

Current styles: User:Timeshifter/Sandbox244#Test sticky-header (sortable)
Proposed styles: User:Timeshifter/Sandbox243#Test sticky-header (sortable)

It should only take a minute to look at the table in that section. And another minute to report what you are seeing at the Village Pump. Please report there, and also tell us what iphone model you have. Thanks. --Timeshifter (talk) 01:36, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Update sales data

In the first paragraph it says "As of November 1, 2018, more than 2.2 billion iPhones had been sold.". In the sidebar you can see a source for 2.3 billions as of January 1, 2024. The paragraph should be updated to reflect more relevant data. 82.218.252.97 (talk) 12:02, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

change picture for iphone to be the first iphone.

This is a wikipedia page, not an advertisement, the first iphone should be the shown image for the entire iphone series of phones. 184.179.144.118 (talk) 23:23, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've reduced the size of the image and trimmed the text slightly. There is no obvious need to show a very old model in the infobox.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 07:09, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@184.179.144.118 Why don't we instead add both pictures for a more 'timeline' view of the iPhone's history? Dulton100 (talk) 19:36, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
