🔗 Apple’s ‘major mistake’ with the iPhone Duo isn’t actually a mistake at all.

Was Gurman not able to get an iPhone Duo delivery date in 2026? Is that what this is about? Because as far as “major mistakes” go, selling as many as you can make seems a pretty great mistake to make.

Nowhere in the article or in JG’s short post is the idea of ‘typo’ introduced - but Jason did in his headline:

TYPO FOUND ON 42-YEAR-OLD SPACESHIP

But it’s not a typo I thought. WRONG

Whilst it is true that by 🔗 Merriam Webster’s definition it is not a typo:

an error (as of spelling) in typed or typeset material

.. no apparent reference to ‘layout’ errors) … BUT - elsewhere on the web I found

Typographic vs. Orthographic Error: In strict design terms, an orthographic error is a spelling mistake (like writing “Discovry”). A typographical error historically meant any physical layout blunder made by a typographer or typesetting machine–including inserting a letter upside down, backwards, or in the wrong font.

Good call Jason.
