They call it the iPhone 5 because the latest iPhone has the number 4 in it. Is that a good enough answer?
Got a tip for us?

Just saying that to go around calling people douchbags isn't the best way to make friends......But if it works for you
At least you admitted your mistake....good man
But posting a simple question then getting beaten to death over it is still grounds for him to try and make friends?...
Honestly, no. You assume that because I used the word "douchebag"? My response was tame in comparison to some of the other posts here...
Anyway, I agree DefBref's post does give a legitimate reason for a negative response, hence why I admitted that I was at fault for posting without browsing the forum first.
I belive most dupicate threads are dealt with in a similar manner....
Equality is at the forefront of policies here !
C'mon people. No one cares what the next name will be. Would anyone really be any more or less disappointed if it was called 4G, 5, 6 or new iPhone? Answer: NO. It'll only be on the box anyway. The phone will continue to just say "iPhone" on the back. Fighting over this topic is such a waste of energy.
