The second one was the first iPhone with 3G networking (which had broadly been considered a required feature for smartphones when the original iPhone was introduced without it.)

Not to mention X and Xs.
replyAnd the iPhone XR! All part of the twelfth-gen models. Of course the subsequent thirteenth-gen models were just called "iPhone 11" in a return to sanity.
replyAnd the fact that they skipped 9 and will likely skip iPhone 19 as well
replyMicrosoft skipped Window 9 too.
replySamsung skipped an entire range of numbers from Galaxy S 11 to 19.
Looks like tech companies don't like 9...
Supposedly Microsoft skipped 9 because of a lot of hardcoded checks for windows 95 and 98 that checked the first digit
