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).

where is a comparison table ?

Agreed -- I was hoping to find a table showing the screen size of various models (specifically I wanted to know which models have 4.7" screens). Kevink707 (talk) 15:07, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

IPhone or iPhone after a sentence?

This article have one occurrence where "iPhone" is spelled with a lower letter 'i' after a sentence and one vice versa.

What is OIS?

The section 'camera' refers to 'OIS' without explaining what this means. What does it mean? --Brian Josephson (talk) 22:30, 23 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It means 'optical image stabilization'. I've updated the article. AlistairMcMillan (talk) 05:20, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks! --Brian Josephson (talk) 09:19, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
