Briefly

The iPhone naming conventions have led to significant confusion in the market. The iPhone 15, while labeled as the 15th version, is actually considered the 17th or 18th model depending on varying counting methods. Many previous iterations, especially during the 'S' versions, have made it difficult to track the exact chronological order of releases. Only two models, the original iPhone and the iPhone 4, align correctly with their chronological designation, highlighting the complexities in Apple’s naming strategy.
The iPhone branding has become increasingly convoluted due to various naming schemes and the use of 'S' versions, leading to confusion regarding the chronological order of models.
Following various naming conventions, the iPhone 15 is technically the 18th version of the device, depending on how one counts the previous models.
Only two iPhone names are accurate in chronological order: the original iPhone launched in 2007 and the iPhone 4 introduced in 2010.
The mismatch in iPhone naming has left users uncertain about the actual versioning, which complicates the understanding of the evolution of the iPhone series.
