Curious why big tech skips the number 9 on product releases sometimes?

Iphone 9 never happened... Windows 9 never happened...

Do they not like 9s cause they are upside down 6s?

Is that their numerological weakness or something?

because people will "just wait for 10" if you make a version 9

I think it's a coordinated effort to make us think in a disjointed manner. The way User Interface Design has suffered over the years is a perfect example. Smart phone is favored over Desktop interfaces. Companies know this and just have some guy from India code an app as a front end to their site that barely functions.

It's intentional. The purposeful dumbing down of the populace.

Phycological. Same reason gas prices always end in .9 and sale prices end in .99. Just flipped because the sheep want the newest. not the lowest as with gas.

Because their advertisers can't count properly.

Windows skipped Windows 9 to avoid compatibility issues with windows 95 applications.
