A new survey of Apple users found that 74% would prefer a different name than 'iPhone 13' for the company's next generation device. The survey, conducted by sellcell, questioned over 3,000 iPhone and iPad users above the age of 18.
Notably, 38% of respondents said that iPhone (2021) was their favorite name, besting iPhone 13, iPhone 21, iPhone 12s, and iPhone 14.
Here are some more highlights from the survey...
Survey Highlights: ● 1-in-5 Apple users (18.3%) are triskaidekaphobic (fear of number ’13’) and would be put off by the ‘iPhone 13’ moniker ● A whopping 74% would prefer a different name than iPhone 13 for next-gen iPhones, with ‘iPhone (2021)’ voted the most suitable name at 38%. Other responses: iPhone 13 (26%), iPhone 21 (16%), iPhone 12S (13%), iPhone 14 (7%) ● A majority of Apple users (64%) would rather wait for new iPhones to come out than buy an iPhone 12 right now if an upgrade is due ● More than half (52.6%) are “slightly” or “not at all” excited about the new iOS/iPadOS 15 update, with an additional 28.1% revealing they are only “somewhat” excited ● Upgraded wallet (23%), advanced Spotlight search (17.3%), ‘Find My’ feature to track switched-off or erased devices (14.2%), SharePlay (10.1%), LiveText (9%) are among the most liked features of the new software ● Interactive widgets (32.3%), always-on display (21%), pro tools (Xcode, Final Cut Pro, etc.) for iPad (14.9%), better external display support for iPad (13.2%), and support for multiple user accounts (8%) are among the top missing features ● 53.1% of users are comfortable with letting a friend or family manage their iCloud data after their demise through the Digital Legacy feature, but most users (71%) would want control over what type of data is shared ● Browsing history (27.3%), messages (16.4%), Keychain passwords (13.7%), purchase history (12.1%), and credit card information (9.2%) topped the list of data not to be shared with a legacy contact

Sorry why can’t it be called makes sense to me. I preferred why Apple used that naming convention

I don’t mind sticking with the same name, but considering how largely the same the design has been even as we are seeming to get a smaller notch
