Randall has introduced a series of new and "improved" xkcd-branded smartphones, parodying common smartphone specs by attributing absurd or useless features to fictional phones. The first comic was released in May 2014, and the second towards the end of 2014. Since then, at least one new xkcd Phone been released every year from 2014 to 2018. During 2014 and 2017, an additional xkcd Phone was released. Notably, this roughly follows the release patterns used by real smartphone manufacturers. After the sixth phone was released, the following was numbered "2000" as it was the 2000th xkcd comic. The next, technically the eighth, used the number 12 as it was released near the release of iPhone 12. Finally, the ninth was called xkcd Phone Flip, making fun of phones the screens of which can be folded. In 2150: XKeyboarCD, Randall introduced the xkcd Keyboard in a similar fashion and with similarly silly features as the xkcd Phones. 1802: Phone was also released in 2017, but it is unrelated to this series. This one of the longest xkcd series, together with Bad Map Projections series.
