There was never an “iPhone 2G”. The original iPhone was named “iPhone”.
You don't think they don't know what iPhone models were named? It should be clear that simply calling it an iPhone prototype wouldn't be very descriptive. I would've referred to it as the original iPhone, but iPhone 2G works perfectly well.
Obviously they don't because there is no such thing as an iPhone 2G. Here is the completed (and correct) list:
Some people refer to it as "2G" because it ran on EDGE networks, but that was never an official or internal name. It is an iPhone.
Even the link you posted says "iPhone (Original/1st Gen/EDGE)" but if you were well versed in the iPhone you'd not assume that "(Original/1st Gen/EDGE)" was part of its official name, but a descriptor to indicate how it was often referred. What is missing is the use of "2G" as that is generation of data connectivity.
Look at it another way. If I said "I have an iPhone" would you assume it's the 2007 model simply because I didn't say "iPhone 11"? If you did, that would be profoundly foolish. If one has an iPhone from 2007 you'd expect that they would add a common descriptor to let you know that it couldn't be any other iPhone except the one with a "2G" radio.
Ok so you agree that there’s no mention of 2G anywhere.
Glad we got that settled.
You're a thick one. You didn't they put it in quotes or add a ™ symbol after 2G, right? It's no more wrong as a description as original, EDGE, and 1st Gen, but you go ahead and keep having a conniption over a reasonable statement by the authors.
