Oppose. As
WP:TITLETM states, "Article titles follow standard English text formatting in the case of trademarks, unless the trademarked spelling is demonstrably the most common usage in sources independent of the owner of the trademark." The sources used in this very article clearly favor "3a" over "3A." Calidum19:55, 16 October 2019 (UTC)reply
You're wrong. The product is to go by the name its maker gave it. There's no argument here. I don't know why we're even voting. --

Actually you’re the one wrong here since if that was the case
Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Trademarks would have been deleted years ago. Usage by secondary sources is essential. That being said others have stated that secondary sources are using the current stylization meaning The title is unlikely to be changed in this particular case.--

Support as the letter "A" is an initial here, this is pronounced "Three A" so the lower case A is indeed a stylism. Must say though, "iPhone" is a bad example for non-stylism. Lazz_R22:11, 16 October 2019 (UTC)reply
If you'll start a crusade to rename to uppercase all articles that have "spelled" lowercase letters, after you get all Apple devices renamed, you may want to continue
here. Good luck. --

Oppose: Devices are trademarked and branded with a lowercase a (as Pixel 3a) not with an uppercase A (as Pixel 3A). Going off of your own opinion and ‘consistency’ with other products is not a valid reason for the move in my opinion. If they are branded as Pixel 3a, it should be kept that way and not something different.

Comment: this is because ‘S’ model iPhones are branded with an uppercase S. The Pixel 3a on the other hand is marketed and branded by Google themselves with a lowercase ‘a’. Just because Apple is doing it on their phone, doesn’t mean we have to change it incorrectly on another.

Comment It seems there's a difference to iPhone as they used a capital S from the start. One look at
Talk:iPhone 5S even has comments from you in 2013 stating as such. I don't see secondary sources using the capital A. –

New pic anyone?
We should probably upload a new picture. The current one, having a protective film applied, disrupts the asthetics of the front and is not representative of the actual device. Any volunteers wanting their phone featured in the article? --
