 | Below are answers to frequently asked questions about the corresponding page IPod Touch. They address concerns, questions, and misconceptions which have repeatedly arisen on the talk page. Please update this material when needed. |
- Why isn't there a criticism/controversy section in this article?
- While reliable sourced criticisms and controversies can be included in this article, criticism sections themselves are generally discouraged. As a result of this, criticisms of the iPod Touch have been interleaved throughout the article in the appropriate section. See WP:NPOV and WP:CRIT for further information on criticism and controversy sections.
- Where are the prices?
- Under guideline WP:NOPRICES, street and retail prices are considered trivia items.
- Why capitalise the T in "Touch" when the brand name is "iPod touch"?
- Wikipedia has a guideline on trademark usage which errs on the side of standard English title case except for specific cases of common deviation (ironically including "iPod"). This helps ensure consistency in language for the sake of readers who might be unfamiliar with the subject.
- Why is the operating system still called "iPhone OS" for versions less than 4.0?
- For historical purposes, Wikipedia retains the naming convention of each major release of the operating system, as they were named at the time of its release. It was called "iPhone OS" until version 3.1.3, and "iOS" for versions 4.0 and later. By the same logic, if Microsoft Windows was renamed to "Microsoft XYZ", Wikipedia would not rename the previous releases to "Microsoft XYZ XP", "Microsoft XYZ Vista", etc. Such renaming would result in anachronism.
