The Mainframe

There are several other characters who exist for the other iPhone models so this will be formatted as a list

• iPhone 3G/3GS: Jasper Ive is known as being one of the more well-known iPhone characters I have created. Her attire consists of black boots, dark grey pants and a belt, a light grey long-sleeved shirt, a dark grey vest that is undone, and a purple tie along with a black cape. On the right side of her vest is a purple Apple logo to represent the original iPhone 2G and at the end of the vest are two home buttons. 3G-tan has purple eyes and black hip-length hair. Despite fighting in the Smartphone Wars she tries to stay humble, but ends up more rude or snarky and dislikes the Wall Garden. She gets along well with Sochi and even supports things like jailbreak, trying to keep up with the times but questioning what her existence really is worth. Due to a screw-up when creating Jasper Ive, I used purple instead of blue because of how the original iPhone had the codename of "Purple", hence her eyes and some of her clothes being purple.
• iPhone 4/4S: Sochi Ive on the other hand unlike Jasper is more innocent and less tomboyish. She tries to keep an innocent and cutesy image up but this is a trap more than anything to hide how strong she is. Her attire consists of a white dress with long sleeves, buttons down the front, a high collar and a flared skirt along with a white hat with a black band. She is a magic user and welds a staff but can get really snarky at times as more of an insult to people who underestimate her abilities. Sochi could also be seen as the mediator for Jasper at times.
• iPhone 5/5C/5S: Elise Ive is known as the "bird lady" and gets stuck in the middle of arguments, having to stop them from happening due to the iPhone 5 having iOS 6 and the 5s and 5c having iOS 7, so very different OSes that went from skeuomorphism to the flat design. She is a magic user like Sochi but takes advantage of having wings which are rainbow (based on the iPhone 5c colours) to fight, despite not being much of a fighter and preferring to stay passive. She gets along well with Bursa Ive. Elise wears a dark grey dress with a frilled hem, boots and bracelets.
• iPhone SE (all gens): Frisco Ive is the sporty like character based on the fact the original iPhone SE was pretty much a iPhone 5 with the innards of a 6s including the Apple A9 system-on-chip and greater battery capacity. The only real distinct part about Frisco is the fact she has a super long braid and is one of the few iPhone characters based on the Product RED iPhones, though this did not come until later with the 2nd gen of the SE. She is capable of lifting things that could be seen a difficult for others... like eMacs. Frisco doesn't use weapons and prefers to fight with her fists and wears a red jacket and pants with a golden belt.
• iPhone 6/6 Plus/6s/6s Plus: Bursa Ive is one of the few characters who has a different body type, that being more endomorph. In a sense she is more chubby compared to others like Sochi and Elise but is taller anyway.. Despite being one of the best selling iPhones she doesn't take it for granted and thinks it is a curse, and is perhaps a bit of a coward and a ditz. She suffers from back problems in a reference to bendgate and gets along well with Elise and Frisco. She is also cursed with people being such big fans of her she still gets updates (the 6/6 plus and 6s/6s plus got updates for 8 years, the latest one being iOS 15.8.3 which was released on July 29, 2024. Her attire is based on the rose gold iPhone 6 model so she wears a long pink dress with grey boots.
• iPhone 7/7 Plus:
• iPhone 8/8 Plus:
• iPhone 11/11 Pro/11 Pro Max:

For iPhones that are not listed here, it is due to them not having a character yet or they are being reworked. There is more to add here anyway...

Alexandria represents the first telephone patented by Alexander Graham Bell. Her concept arose from a conversation about how "the history of AT&T dates back to the invention of the telephone; therefore, I should create a -tan for the first-ever telephone." Alexandria was portrayed as a bit of a nutjob, reflecting AT&T's historical monopoly, which controlled telephone services, equipment, and even restricted "foreign attachments" like the Hush-A-Phone case (1956). This case challenged AT&T's dominance over terminal equipment attachments. Her story ends in 1982, symbolizing the "Breakup of the Bell System." Parts of her soul were scattered into seven shards, referencing the creation of seven independent companies from AT&T's original twenty-two subsidiaries. These shards became a source of intrigue, with attempts to merge them back into three main pieces. However, mishandling one of these shards could prove fatal.

The Wizzy Active Lifestyle Telephone (W.A.L.T.) was a tablet-like device offering telephony services, based on Macintosh System 6. Originally named Walter, he was created as a robot by Antares (an older System 6 character not of my design). However, due to being buggy and slow, higher-ups decided to "scrap" him. It is said the W.A.L.T. was built largely from PowerBook 100 parts. If repurposed, he would likely become a robot crafted by Aldebaran from the scraps of a decommissioned PowerBook 100 guard.

The prototype "iPhone" resembled a hybrid between a touchscreen computer and a phone. It was designed by Hartmut Esslinger, who also contributed to the Apple IIc portable computer. This character, named "Eliza," is a ghostly member of my iPhone 9-tan's "gang of prototypes."

These characters received little spotlight and only appeared in an unfinished short story. According to the story, StormOS-kun was a performer in a troupe, friends with ConnochaetOS and other OSes like ArcheOS (a distro with archaeological software). ConnochaetOS was aligned with an older faction inspired by the FSF, as it shipped only free (libre) software and removed proprietary software and binary blobs, including from the Linux kernel. ConnochaetOS ran a sandwich vendor stand in the troupe's carnival, reflecting its origins as DeLi Linux. ZeX/OS and SnowLinux were minor characters. StormOS was a desktop-focused distribution based on Nexenta Core Platform 2.0 (NCP2), with thousands of packages backported from Ubuntu and later Debian Sid. However, the project became unmaintainable after rebasing on NCP4 and was eventually superseded by the Dyson operating system. ConnochaetOS (formerly DeLi Linux) is a Slackware-based Linux distribution for x86 computers with limited resources.
