You probably heard all the news about Iphone X. What is wrong with number 9 that major tech companies decides to skip it?
Any conspiracy theories?

Idk about Apple but Microsoft had to skip Windows 9 because of Legacy code pointing "Windows 9" to Windows 95/98.
Microsoft dev here, the internal rumours are that early testing revealed just how many third party products that had code of the form
if(version.StartsWith("Windows 9"))
{ /* 95 and 98 */
} else {
and that this was the pragmatic solution to avoid that.
These companies didn’t actually 'skip' the number 9.
Windows was forced to not release a windows version 9 because, the earlier windows versions 1995 and 1998 mainly had code, that matched the versions stating if the version numbers starts from 9, it is a old version of windows.
So now, engineers at Microsoft were forced to skip Windows 9 and move on to 10.
As for Apple:
- iPhone 7: no headphone jack
- iPhone X: no home button
- iPhone 9: no phone
and 7 8(ate) 9.
lol jk, this year marked the tenth anniversary of iPhones first release. So to mark this decade long of iPhones they decided to release iPhone X i.e iPhone 10.
Hope This Helps!
because bush did 9/11
Because 7 8 9 of course. They couldn't use 9 because it was eaten. Lol
Oh. Lol. I learned to read the rest of the thread and saw I was about year too late.
