:It fits perfectly fine on my 15-inch MacBook Pro. However, I agree it's not that necessary. I'd be for removing it. For OTA Updates, I'd say it is required really since it explains why you have to get 6.1.3 from 5.0.x before 8.x for example. --[[User:IAdam1n|iAdam1n]] ([[User talk:IAdam1n|talk]]) 20:28, 25 February 2015 (UTC) |

Remove "Comments" Column
The tables here are too wide and stretch off the side of the page. We could fix this by ditching the "Comments" column. The column is barely used, and when it is, it adds nothing that couldn't be found on the timeline. The majority of the "comments" are either redundant ("Initial release") or can be found on the timeline.
There are a "few" loners:
- iPhone (original)
- Alpine 1A420: either make the "IPSW Download URL" "
iphoneproto.zip
" a link to the MacRumors article or move to Beta Firmware - Alpine 1A543a/Oktoberfest 3B48b ("Initial US/Euro shipment"): this is the only device where we differentiate by release date; so unless we do that for all devices, release location/date doesn't really matter
- Alpine 4A57: move to Beta Firmware
- Alpine 1A420: either make the "IPSW Download URL" "
- iPhone 3G
- Big Bear 5A345: not a beta, but remove "Initial release" (you could argue 5A347 was an "initial release" also just like 4.2.5/4.2.6 for the Verizon iPhone 4 (iPhone3,3) and 7.0/7.0.1 for the iPhone 5c and 5s)
- iPhone 3GS
- Baker 8B117: put that information on the timeline
- iPhone 4 GSM (iPhone3,1)
- Telluride 9A405: information available from OTA Updates and (should be) the timeline (9A405 for the 3GS was also first non-beta OTA, but that doesn't have a comment)
- iPhone 4S
- Telluride 9A334: put that information on the timeline
- Brighton 10B145: put that information on the timeline
- iPhone 5 (iPhone5,1 and iPhone5,2)
- Sundance 10A551: put that information on the timeline
- iPod touch (original)
- Big Bear 5A347 and up: mentioned in the footnote for "Download Link Prohibited"
- iPod touch 2G:
- Kirkwood 7A341 through SUNorthstarTwo 7E18: mentioned in the footnote for "Download Link Prohibited"
- Northstar 7C145: put that information on the device's page
We could extend this to Beta Firmware also, but that can be handled later. --5urd (talk) 17:55, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
