To be fair, the Fahrenheit measurement should be pretty intuitive here. Fahrenheit is easy because 0 degrees is "really fucking cold" and 100 degrees is "really fucking hot." So anything triple-digits should be easily recognizable as "yeah that's way too fucking hot for a phone."

This is also why I prefer Fahrenheit to Celsius in general (even though I am an engineer and am not a die-hard patriot or anything like that). It is a more practical scale for everyday usage.

It's an incredibly euro-centric view to think that the rest of the world uses the metric system. Heck, even the UK mixes and matches units contextually. Plenty of global industries apply their own standards.

I've never seen an American on the Internet suggest China move from Chi to Feet, for example. Europeans just assume that they use Meters because they're polite enough to just do the conversion on their end for international trade.

You sure are worked up about this. Why? Calm down, bud.

Hate to break it to you (and your superiority complex) but Fahrenheit is also a standard.

There are a lot more Europeans online than Americans

1. I don't believe this at all lol

2. The audience for this is English speakers. While much of the world reads English non-natively, those people often turn to news source in their native languages. If this article were in French, using Fahrenheit would be silly.

3. Most iPhone users are American. This data shows that just a few years ago 43% of iPhones were sold in the US, with Japan in 2nd at 14% and China at 13%. Even adding up the UK, France, Germany, and Australia they combine for 20%, though once again I'd expect French and German articles fod those audiences.

Europeans just can't handle the fact that colonization is over lol.
