It's a bit different though, isn't it? The 3GS was a successor. The current models share the same space. 2009: iPhone 3GS 2016: iPhone — 6S, 6S Plus, SE

- jdminhbg 10y ago2009 was iPhone 3GS and 3G at least; they may even have still sold the original at that point. Three different models for the biggest-ever consumer electronics product doesn't seem too crazy.
- milkytron 10y agoEspecially when you compare them to Samsung's plethora of devices.
- tracker1 10y agoI wish Samsung would coalesce their phone options to 3-4 devices, would be a lot easier... Same for most others. That said, I would still love a mid-range desktop option from Apple... with actual user-upgradable hardware.
- digi_owl 10y agoWith Samsung it seems to be a Korean corporate culture problem. Something about being involved with a shipped product being a way to score social points and work towards a promotion. That said, all those devices leads to them being willing to try things. Like for example that model with a pico projector.
- awesomerobot 10y agoThey sold multiple models, but only one flagship every year.
