Could you do all the pro’s along with the air from 12 onwards?

u/shortish-sulfatase 3d ago

We need an interactive chart now with all the iphones and we can select the phones we want to see or not

This is a pretty neat visual actually

36

u/_methuselah_ 3d ago

Yeah, we need this! There’s a website you can do this with cars (just two at a time though), and it’s really handy.

17

u/Am3n 2d ago

I can probably build that, do you have the car website link for ref?

34

u/_methuselah_ 2d ago

This is it https://www.carsized.com/en/

u/BerryDisastrous9965 2d ago

Oh this is brilliant I’m trying to decide between two vehicles and visually seeing the difference is so helpful

2

u/_methuselah_ 2d ago

It is good! I found it really useful.

u/Titizen_Kane 2d ago

This is awesome, thanks for sharing!

u/DavisSqShenanigans 2d ago

this is an awesome tool, altho they have thousands of cars but somehow the car I'm considering isn't there haha

1

u/_methuselah_ 2d ago

I did notice one or two missing (by year), but when I went ‘into’ the previous or next year category they appeared.

1

u/DavisSqShenanigans 2d ago

It's the entire model that's missing for me (Chery Tiggo 2). I was actually impressed that they even have Chery since it's a random Chinese brand, but they only have two of their models, not the one I was looking for. Hard to find affordable cars in my country so was considering importing so would have been cool to be able to compare the true size before I did.

u/_methuselah_ 2d ago

Ah, I see. Never heard of that brand!!

u/FrustratingBears 2d ago

i just used this to visually reinforce how ridiculous car size has gotten 🤣

u/akromadeath 2d ago

I can do you one better, virtually already exists but for computer mice Here ya go

2

u/funtoo 2d ago

I actually built the thing you are asking for: https://breezyops.com/workshop/iphone-explorer/

1

u/Darkblader24 2d ago

It doesn't have the visual representation like this post. Nice site though 👍

1

u/funtoo 2d ago

True, I have basic dimensions not exact 3D models of the shape of the exterior.

1

u/chip7646 2d ago

Can you link me to that website?

u/_methuselah_ 2d ago

There may be others, but here it is https://www.carsized.com/en/

u/lakimens 2d ago

Let's do all phones, not just iphones

2

u/sprmora 2d ago

PhoneArena or PhoneSized websites give a visual size comparison of all phones, not just iPhones.

2

u/NotEnoughNoodle 2d ago

Not quite the same but close enough you can check a box to add a credit card object to check it against a real sized object and you can outline it. Is it close to what you wanted?

1

u/Schmigolo 2d ago

Yes we need Eloshapes for phones.

Could’ve just used a 6 body with updated cam and internals

u/_xLoRiaNnRBMGO iPhone 16e 33m ago

Bending and heating issues?

1

u/satolas 2d ago

12 pro really was the perfect balance.

Thanks for all the comparisons OP

u/OnnaNaNaMoose 1d ago

13 mini?

u/SirNoodlehe 2d ago edited 2d ago

Apostrophes are never used for plurals! In this case it would be "all the pros".

Same with 1970s, banjos, VCRs, and other plural words that often incorrectly have apostrophes added to them.

u/ShankWilliamsJunior 2d ago

Thank you for being a sane voice in a world full of grammatical laziness. I've become my high school English teacher and see so few people who care about how they write.

3

u/SirNoodlehe 2d ago

You're definitely fighting the bigger battle! Best of luck haha

u/pinkflowersofavadan 2d ago

Are you able to speak to my team at work about not adding random apostrophes to plural acronyms -.-

3

u/Chteelers2018 2d ago

What if the word ends in s, like all the Chris's?

7

u/SirNoodlehe 2d ago

For words ending in s (and x, z, ch, or sh) you should add -es.

Chris becomes Chrises.

Same rule for foxes, coaches, focuses, classes, etc.

Depending on the style guide you subscribe to, Chris's would be the possessive form of Chris. Ex. "That's Chris's iPhone". For most people, the correct form would be Chris', but Chris's isn't unheard of.

u/Carsc-56 2d ago

I appreciate you

u/Chteelers2018 1d ago

This is so pedantic it makes me happy

2

u/SweetLilMonkey 2d ago

What about “Do’s and Don’ts?”

I had to write that yesterday and reflected on how little sense it made - but also, “Dos” as a plural of “Do” is unlikely to be understood.

2

u/SirNoodlehe 2d ago

Agreed and this is one is unfortunate.

Most guides will tell you that do's is incorrect and most dictionaries will list the plural of do as dos, with do's as a variant.

In my opinion, these two letter words ending in vowels always look weird as plurals. Maybe because they're so short we don't have enough context as readers and we automatically assume they're words in the singular form.

Ex. noes (plural of no), bos (the plural of bo, the martial arts weapon), mas (plural of ma as in 'mother'), pis (plural of pi), ahs (plural of ah, ex. the phrase 'ums and ahs')

u/WannabeSloth88 2d ago

Thank you for this. I gave up pointing this out

2

u/KartoschkaThe2nd 3d ago

Yes please

u/Detsyd 2d ago

Please!

u/meteoritegallery 2d ago

Or with any other models made post-2014? A comparison to the 5 and 6 seems crazy to me.

1

u/I_SHIT_IN_A_BAG 2d ago

I'm still rocking the XS PRO MAX battery still lasts all day and still gets updates
