I know Apple have gotten away with names HN have disliked, but XS sounds like Extra Small.

iPhone XS sounds like the follow up to iPhone SE ...

The entire world knows XS is 'extra small'. These cryptic abbreviations should stop. I've always wondered why Samsung's flagship is called 'Galaxy S#'.

In music theory context, sharp implies augmentation. Maybe that's why? (No idea)

It also sounds like "excess" which a Youtuber has already criticized them for.

I agree. Why not write it "iPhone 10S", at least? iPhone X is supposed to be pronounced "iPhone 10", though we will apparently never have an iPhone 9.

Dont you worry, one after SX will be called iPhone, just "iPhone".

Introducing... the Apple iPhone Tiny. It's so big, we had to give it a diminutive name.

Just wait for the extra small plus

I read it as “excess”—seems like I’m the outlier?

By the name, I imagined it would be a successor to the iPhone SE, probably the only smartphone in the market I can comfortably use with just the one hand.

It turns out it's anything but that.

"...will come in two sizes including a larger version"

Two sizes generally includes a larger one... so I guess I can't fault the author's logic.

If this is the name, I bet it will be Xs not XS.
