Fair point. Once you start listing it out, you see how confusing they made it for users:

- OS X = "OS ten" - iphone X = "iphone ten" - Xcode = "ex-code"



Plus "XS" was "ten S"


It's just occurred to me I never made that connection - every I know just calls it the XS (ecks-ess).


Which always sounded like "iPhone tennis" to me
