Well, asking why won't get you very far since there is no answer to "why" that can be trusted unless it comes from Apple. Also, to me, those labels are some irrational hold over from a time long, long ago. I've seen the iPhone option at times, but at other times it isn't there. Sometimes the default is Home Fax, which I agree is silly; then other times the default is home. Then again, sometimes there is a custom option where you can write your own label. Personally, I think some Apple engineers are just too lazy to fix the labels from whatever ancient template they are using. I hope to be a part of a conversation with a senior Apple engineer in a couple of weeks. I'll see if I can get an answer from him. Just be assured that you are not the only one scratching their head over these strange labels in contacts. Later, Richard

Such as, mobile. I don't understand why some of these options are in here has choices. I know maybe it's not really a big deal. But is something that bothers me. Wire for instants do we have a choice of radio? I have course can understand choices like home, and mobile. But I don't really get home fax as an option, because it's not as though you can send a fax from your phone. Or maybe you can now days, and I just don't know that. I also don't get the car option, because nobody I know has had a car phone for years! There might be some other options that are puzzling to me. But these are the ones I can think of at the moment. What the thing I really don't like, is this. Why don't they have the option for iPhone as a choice, anymore? They took that option away a couple of versions back. Then they returned it, I think when we got version 10. But I don't remember exactly. Now it is gone again. I don't like this at all! I like my contacts to be organized properly. I'm very picky about this, and I know it! But if somebody has an iPhone, I want their number listed as an iPhone. If they have an android, that's fine if it is mobile. But I do not like listing someone who I know has an iPhone, with the mobile label. I know this sounds silly. But this is just my choice, and the way I want to be able to do things. Does anyone know when this option might return? Or if it will return at all?
