 All right, so The iPhone Wiki has articles about baseband ''processors''. However, the [[XMM 6180]] is about the baseband ''platform''. The wiki mostly references baseband processors, but I'm a bit reluctant to go that route since it was [[User:Oranav|Oranav]], who definitely knows more about the baseband than me, that changed the article from baseband processor to baseband platform. I'd like to keep things consistent, so should we stick with referencing it by processor or platform? This inconsistency is bugging the crap out of me. --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 06:19, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
