iPhone X pronunciation

[v-600]

So... Regardless of Apple's best intentions, I read iPhoneX and hear an 'Ecks' rather than a 10.


Apologies for the repeated ecks, but I wanted to be clear.... Unlike some large technology companies.

What about you all?

Ten

 

[NuclearNed]

It's clearly not a 10 because there was no 9

Apple can't count. Ten is for tenth anniversary.

 

[WelshBloke]

Ten

What happens next year?

Will there be a 9 and an XI?

I am guessing iphone 9, no XI

 

[WelshBloke]

I am guessing iphone 9, no XI

And the year after that? The iPhone 11? The iPhone 10 (again), iPhone 10.1?

 

[[DHT]Osiris]

And the year after that? The iPhone 11? The iPhone 10 (again), iPhone 10.1?

Why not? They did it with the iPad, The iPad, and whatever numerical deliminators they've used since then.

They really should just stay with the year with all product releases. Iphone 2017 or '17. None of this 360 or One or X or S and then come out with something else that makes zero sense chronologically when people talk about them years from now and can't figure out what came first.

Marketing depts. trying to be edgy so they feel useful?

Imagine if cars started getting these random names every subsequent year.

Like BMW, Audi, or any of the exotic mfg's?

How did Mac OS X do?

And the year after that? The iPhone 11? The iPhone 10 (again), iPhone 10.1?

Would iWhatever X.1 sound weird? Roman decimals

I'm waiting for the Xbox One XXX

 

[SKORPI0]

I hear it's called "imaPhony 10" but labeled iPhone X.

Well the number \______________/ releases they were doing were fine. They could have left the iPhone x as the iPhone eks and then carried on as normal. Or called it the iPhone 8X if they were going to do it on every release.

 

[Red Storm]

I read it as 'ex', and that's how I say it. I've talked to maybe 6 people about the phone, and only one actually said 'ten'.

Xbox One Ten

Tenboten One Ten

They will have Iphone 8s and 8s Plus most likely.

And maybe Iphone Xs for the revamped X phone.

iphonix

Hooked on phonix?

 

[ElFenix]

Apple already has huge brand capital in "X" as in "OS X" so it's absolutely astounding to me they've decided to go with "ten" for the X in the iPhone.

 

[R0H1T]

They will have Iphone 8s and 8s Plus most likely.

And maybe Iphone Xs for the revamped X phone.

Would be interesting to see if people who've had a breakup buy them!

 

[WelshBloke]

They will have Iphone 8s and 8s Plus most likely.

And maybe Iphone Xs for the revamped X phone.

I figured \__________________/ they would go back to just two models next year.
