Around 18% of iPhone and iPad users who are describing themselves as 'triskaidekaphobic' — which is the fear of the number 13 — say that they would prefer an alternative number over the number 13 for the new 2021 iPhone.

A survey was recently published by Sellcell, which asked if people would be OK if Apple called the next 2021 iPhone the 'iPhone 13.' 18% of total users said that they would be put off if it was labeled as the iPhone 13, meanwhile 81% of respondents said they wouldn’t mind the number 13. The 18% of people that said they preferred the alternative name also said that they would prefer that the product name was the model year, much the same as what Apple does for the iPads and Macs.

Also while on the topic of iPhones and iPads, multiple users say that they were somewhat underwhelmed by what they’ve seen so far of iOS 15 and iPadOS 15. Around 19% or extremely or very excited about the software update while 28% were only somewhat excited. 52.6% think that the new software it’s just a slight improvement over iOS 14.
