Frequently asked questions

Why isn't there a criticism/controversy section in this article?: While reliable sourced criticisms and controversies can be included in this article, criticism sections themselves are generally discouraged. As a result of this, criticisms of the iPhone have been interleaved throughout the article in the appropriate section. For example, criticism of Apple requiring iPhone owners to pay to have their phone's battery replaced is included in the battery section. See WP:NPOV and WP:CRIT for further information on criticism and controversy sections.
Where are the prices? Is the iPhone available in my country?: Under guideline WP:NOPRICES, street and retail prices are considered trivia items. Pricing concerns over the iPhone, as well as other issues related to carriers are covered in other iPhone-related Wikipedia articles.
Why "the iPhone" and not just "iPhone"?: Dropping the definite article is a marketing technique used by Apple. Unless such terminology is used by a majority of our reliable, secondary sources, our style guidelines require that we use the normal rules of English grammar to refer to subjects, and that requires the use of the definite article when using synecdoche to refer to one subject as if it were the whole group (the iPhone and not iPhones).
