“ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 10 ”

(Microsoft and Apple signing)

There wasn’t any 1, 2 in apple, it started with the iPhone, than iPhone 3g (I have one (°_°)), and after 4, 5...

@RedBorg 🤔👌

We'll see what Android will do on next version ...

I think iPhone 9 will still come..iPhone X was coz of the 10th anniversary after all

It's just base 9 counting. Not weird.

The decision to skip Windows 9 a very smart one, ensuring backwards compatibility -- especially on the web and in network communications :)

As they had both 95 and 98, and those were in the same family in very many ways, most things using version detection started using for just the "Windows 9" substring...

@YousifMansour Explain Windows NT and Windows ME, then
What about Windows 95, 98?

@Mitiko I'm sorry if it appears that I like windows or that I'm defending Microsoft. I hate windows. I just was trying to think of an explanation for skipping 9 and thought that not many people think of base 9 because it's not used that often (as far as I know).
If it was windows 10 after 7 I think many would be saying that it's because of they're following the octal numeral system.

@YousifMansour Don't get ME wrong, I love Windows
(Got the joke)
Even though, I really do like it
