PS: Am I the only one that preferred to say it as |  ō es eks |?

I have literally never spoken to anyone who said "oh ess ten." Ever. That means either I've never spoken about the OS to anyone who was in an official capacity, or that if I did we referred to it by its name (ex. Mavericks, Sierra, etc.), or that calling it "oh ess ex" is all but ubiquitous.

i was surprised to learn from the article that "ten" is correct and "ex" isn't.

My mac friends and podcasts say ten because it’s what came after System 9 and it’s what we’ve always heard it as. Not surprising since that’s what Apple refers to it as well. 

"My personal anecdote can beat up your personal anecdote." 

FWIW, I say "OS ten" as do others In my circle. The reason being, that's what Apple called it.

I've actually been wondering if/when they would drop the "i" and move to Phone (like Music, TV and Watch)...updating the name and bringing the Apple name and symbol to the epicenter more than the "phone" part. Personally I think it would be a cool. Steve would do it. Marketing probably won't allow it.

There are some obsessive-compulsive types who need that kind of naming consistency or they'll go into a seizure, but fortunately, they don't work at Apple. 

Plenty of Spotify competitors work fine on Safari.

Apple, 2010: Adobe Flash is bad for everyone, and not the way forward. The future of the web belongs to HTML.

Adobe, 2016: Flash is dead. Long live HTML.

Spotify, 2017: Install this google plugin or else

I keep seeing articles that use the rather loaded term "delay" when discussing the iPhone 8's launch date. What date is considered to be "on time," and why that date?

I mean it as a serious question. If Apple hasn't announced anything date, on what basis are we saying it is "delayed"? Is that a characterization that you feel is accurate, and whose opinions do the posted article(s) here represent?
