O I think you misunderstood my sarcasm. I think labeling phone numbers with something meaningful is extremely useful. I tis just Apple is still in the dark ages when it comes to these labels.
They are back in the days when a Car Phone took up most of the middle console between the front seats and cell phones wade a couple of pounds. In fact, their labels have been out of date since the very first iPhone. Perhaps if everyone wrote Apple Accessibility and pointed out the silliness of some of their stock labels, they would update them. I’ve written them several times … obviously, they are not listening to me, 😊.

And a couple of people I deal with in our local hospital have pagers Until of course they upgrade their phone system.

And, the iPhone label is there sometimes and not others. There is a Custom label button to create your own some of the time and not others. Apple truly has not paid attention to the labels forever. Half the time, when I use their standard labels of home or work, and share a contact with my wife, the label is changed to Work, if it was home or to home if it was work. The same thing with Email labels in contacts. Pick one you can live with and, as they say, don't sweat the small stuff. Grin.

I also remember that there was a specific choice for an iPhone, not just a mobile phone. Now, all I see is a mobile phone option but not an iPhone option. I was just wondering if that option still existed and how I can get there. Also, would any of that matter when it comes to sending iMessages to someone with an iDevice?
