Generic form
007a83, it doesn't matter whether it looks like an iPhone or not. That's not why I uploaded it. The main reason I updated it was because the file is smaller, and also because this form is the generic form that most smartphones look like. Incidentally, if you forgot, the Pocket Edition is available on the iPhone/iTouch/iPad, not only on Android phones. This is a wiki, and we do not have a bias towards any one type of thing. If you have a bias against iPhone topics, this is not the place to let that bias interfere. Next time before reverting, try not to let that immature thinking affect your actions. --M0rphzone 23:40, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

 * I disagree. M0rphzone's picture is extremely small and very generic. Just because it was uploaded by a user of certain status doesn't make the file magically protected. I won't get involved in a revert war, but I ask that you find a better reason to keep the old one other than "[an] admin uploaded it". -- Kanegasi  ☺  C  01:09, 22 September 2012 (UTC)


 * 007a83, did you read the reasons I posted? You really shouldn't be editing this wiki if you're going to act like this. I won't revert until Ultradude settles the matter, but I'd hoped Ultra or any other admins wouldn't have to be involved in something trivial like this. --M0rphzone 02:03, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

While the image from Wikipedia is not widely used there, its use has been uncontested; resemblance to any particular device does not seem to be a concern. Searching for "generic phone icon" reveals predominantly iPhone-style devices, as does browsing the smartphones offered by major cellphone networks. (The recent Apple-Samsung lawsuit over product design illustrates how similar many devices are.) From a technical standpoint, the nominal image size is irrelevant, since it's vectorized, but the file size is considerably smaller. For these reasons, I believe this image is a better choice than Ultradude's original. -- Orthotope 07:02, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
