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.

So just make up your own names is your philosophy? It is a prototype of the model that was called iPhone. That's the name. There was no iPhone 2 or 2G.  It was never referred to as 2 or 2G and there is zero evidence Apple ever did. It was iPhone, the iPhone 3G, then 3GS.Making up your own name for someone else's product that has a name does not work perfectly well.

Slow your roll. They didn't make up a name. They added a qualifier to let the reader know which model it is, just like you'd do with calling it the original iPhone. 

Slow your own roll Xed and refrain from the condescending tone unless you would like to engage me on that level. Call it what it is - the original iPhone if you need to distinguish it from other models. Quote from the article "the original iPhone 2G". Sure does seem like they made up a name. There is no such thing as "the original iPhone 2G." Would you like to dispute that? The was no iPhone Apple called second generation or cell service called 2G was there? The term original distinguishes it from other models. You and the author may call it anything you want. That doesn't make it accurate.

If you had left out the condescending tone the conversation would have ended after I made my point in my first post about making up names.

Why is it important to know about iPhone 2g at this point?
