Well, the title of the page is "Basic Flashlight Tutorial", so it matches as-is. Of course, Electric Torch is UK terminology (may be used elsewhere that I'm unaware of) However, Flashlight is used in the US/Canada.

Electric Torch sounds awesome, like something from a D&D guide. I'm going to try to use that next time I ask my wife where the flashlight is. On an iPhone in the UK is the flashlight button labelled electric torch?

  My Android has a button labelled "Torch". It doesn't set itself on fire when I toggle it, so I'm happy enough.

    You call the Flashlight app, "personalTelephones"?

      iPhones => personalTelephones i => personal Phones => Telephones It's a joke based on British formal speech

        I get that. They were responding to what they call the Flashlight App on the iPhone.

No-one here says 'Electric Torch' (especially not with Caps). They say 'torch' and, as far as I'm aware, 'flashlight' is a perfectly valid term for what this article refers to, so perhaps the GP is being humorous.
