Apple will hold an iPhone conference next week. Whether it is superstitious on this issue will be known by then. Apple will release the iPhone 13 next week. But the tipster Jon Prosser broke the news on Apple’s iPhone 14 plan on Wednesday, making the iPhone 14 a hot topic on Twitter.
Some users speculate based on the news that Apple may not call the upcoming new generation of mobile phones iPhone 13, but directly call it iPhone 14. In many Western countries, the number 13 is considered an unlucky number. This argument has been circulated for thousands of years.
For example, some data show that every year on both Friday and the 13th, the economy will suffer a loss of US$700 million to US$800 million because people are unwilling to travel or do business. Some hotels do not have a 13th floor, and some airlines do not have row 13 seats. The airport boarding gate jumps directly from No. 12 to No. 14.
However, this does not mean that Apple will deliberately avoid the number 13 in order to avoid scaring away users who may be superstitious. It released the iPhone 4 in 2010. In many Asian countries and regions including China, 4 is considered an unlucky number.
According to a report in the Los Angeles Times, iPhone 4 sales are still hot, and Apple’s online store sold out within 10 hours. Canon and Nokia product models jumped directly from the 3rd generation to the 5th generation. In addition, according to the previous naming of Apple products, it did not deliberately avoid the number 13.
MacBook notebooks are usually named according to the year of release and size, such as the MacBook Pro 13. But according to the information on Apple’s website, the MacBook released in 2016 is technically called MacBookPro13. Apple also released iOS 13 at the end of 2019. The number of iterations of some Apple products has not exceeded 12 times. For example, the latest iPad is an eighth-generation product. (Author/frost leaves)
