Make sense now?

Only in a super stupid sort of way.

Speed for all models. Contrary to popular belief, the s never stood for siri or security

as i know that the "S" mean speed of perfomance So it's perfomane is better than the old one

.

Contrary to popular belief, the "S" never stood for speed. It doesn't stand for anything. What does the "3" stand for in the 3G? It's not the 3rd model, it's only the 2nd. Starting with the 3G the "odd numbered" years have always added an S (except for the 5C - What does the "C" stand for)? 3GS, 4S, 5S, 6S...

iPhone 3GS 4S 5S 6S means Second Edition of the first build = 3G 4 5 6 only the first iPhone does not have a s Second Edition

Second Edition and the C stands for Color iPhone 5C(COLOR) and 3 in 3G stand for Third Generation 3GS is Third Generation Second Edition

I iPhone O operating S system IOS iPhone Operating System

Wrong.

Technically 3G in iPhone 3G and 3Gs stands for the maximum network type it could connect to. That being 3G (as opposed to the Edge connection of most other phones, and its predecessor: the iPhone 1) at the time. It was technically the Second Generation iPhone released. Not the Third. There was no iPhone 2.

The S has only ever served to differentiate versions. There has never been any actual meaning for the S. Not even when Siri was introduced.

The C on the 5C was assumed to mean Color but this again was never confirmed by Apple.

They are simply identifiers, they do not need to mean anything and they don't.

Let it go.

Can't anyone accept the fact that the names of things don't have to stand for anything? What does "Exxon" stand for? What does the "XKE" in Jaguars stand for? What about the "S" in Tesla Model S? What does "KODAK" stand for? The "X" in "UberX"? The Boeing 777? (hint: It's smaller than a Boeing 747). Windows XP? The "D" in battery sizes? Or "C", or "AA", or "AAA" (and whatever happened to "A" and "B"?) Why did "Mountain Lion" come AFTER "Lion", if a Mountain Lion is smaller than a Lion? Many things need no explanation and have no explanation. Accept it.

WiFi doesn't stand for anything. GSM once meant one thing but now means another. And, do NOT get me started on "ATM Machines".

Or PIN Numbers? SIM Cards? (That one is a little more subtle, but it's still redundant). SIMM Module?

Or a computer system that used to request "ESN Numbers".
