Effectively you listed phone generation, which matched the original iOS version it shipped with, until it goes off the rails with the 8/+ and the X, which were technically the same generation but you listed as the iPhone 11 and 12 - so in this scheme are you separating them by year (in which case lumping the 5S and 5C together works), internal hardware (so making the original SE part of the 9th generation makes sense) or design (which justifies making the 8 and X separate generations). Apple has changed their mind's about what defines a new iPhone generation which is why theirs names are kind of messy...

I thought eventually one day they would just name it "iPhone" similar to iPad Air, or Macbook (no numbers). Forsure wont happen now.
