    Well if Apple wouldn’t have 15 different models to choose from, they wouldn’t have this naming problem in the first place. They lost that simple vision they had with SJ. He even cut all the “XS” (haha) fat from the product lineup when he returned in the 90’s saying that was part of Apple’s problem. And it was! You need a simple product portfolio. Not a bloated one. Look what happened to the domestic car manufacturers in the early 00’s. How many different versions of 1 vehicle did GM have from the same platform, just different names? That’s way too much fat. Cut the fat and keep only the lean products that prop up the business. Stop trying to please everyone, it’s never going to happen. Build a couple and if people love it, they’ll buy it. If they don’t, they won’t. We don’t need 3 new phones. Especially ones that all look like the X. My carrier was always the same and I was perfectly happy with choosing between 2 or 3 colors and 2 or 3 memory configurations. I was thoroughly disappointed at the X last year and it never grew on me. These new ones don’t interest me, either. Yet I STILL love the look of my gold 6s Plus and it still works like it did on day one. And the best part, it’s been paid off for a looooong time now!

    Who pronounces it as iPhone 10? It's generally called the iPhone X, if apple wanted people to call it the iPhone 10 why did they change it from being numbers to a letter? I would of thought they already would of named the models for this year, when they named last years models, but it seems kinda dumb that they didn't think this through previously.

    It's like OSX, nobody calls it OS 10. It's OSX, yes, it means ten, but it's pronounced X.
    Oh Ess Ten.

    10, X and XS are all fine with me.

    They play nicely visually (and phonetically when pronounced incorrectly).

    There are plenty of products with XS in the name and no one usually thinks of 'excess' when they read or here it.

    I'm not convinced on the gold colour but I detest the rose and champagne variants so, depending on how it actually looks it might be ok if it isn't bling style. It would be amazing if the etched a colour mix like the one in the image on the screen onto the glass back. Especially as multi coloured gradient are so popular now.
    That sounds like the script you have written to convince your wife to purchase the gold LCD X model as a replacement for her iPhone 6.
    I have a dilemma with this actually. Last year she could have upgraded but chose to replace the battery. That gave her another year with the 6. The X was not on the table basically due to price. That left the 8 series or 7 series as candidates but they look 'old'.

    When she saw my Honor 10 she said 'that's gorgeous!' so now I'm waiting to see pricing and sizes for iPhones without foreheads and chins in a couple of weeks. I'm hoping the rumours of an 'affordable' new phone prove to be true.

    We can argue that a phone is just a phone but she is style conscious and in 2018, high screen to body ratios are the norm and as the phone will have to last her around three years, I wouldn't like her stuck with a big forehead and chin in 2020.
    The LCD iPhone X model will be much more expensive than the Honor 10.
    For sure. I'm just hoping the rumours prove true and one of the new phones is 'affordable' (even if it an Apple style definition of affordable).

    Our family and social circle is dominated by Huawei/Honor phones. The sole iPhone is my wife's and there are a couple of oldish Samsungs.

    She wants an iPhone and it would be nice for her to have one but we have been putting a lot of resources elsewhere and have plans for the next couple of years that make us think twice about certain things and one of them is phones.

    If the Apple carrot is not close enough she could decide to hold out for another year or consider an Android.

    She saw the Honor Magic 2 teaser from IFA today and commented favourably on the design.
    She should buy an Android; she obviously doesn't care about Apple's ecosystem, and since the iPad Mini isn't going to be replaced by Apple, you should make a clean break.

    Then all you have to do is get rid of your Mac, and the iPad, and you are entirely free of Apple's ecosystem.

    That' really what you've been angling for, right?

    How about competitively priced new products? Give me an iPad Mini 5 and new iPhone at an attractive price and we're onboard. Our iPads were competitive. No reason why new iPhones can't be either. Rumours are even pointing to exactly that. As for ecosystem. Nope. We are 'bad' Apple users as we do not subscribe to ANY Apple services.

    When you’re serving a market sized in the billions it makes sense that you might need in the range of a dozen models.  Why don’t we hear you criticizing Samsung for having 60+ models on sale at any one time?  Hmm.

    Wrong. The correct, official pronunciation is 10, not ex. This is old, old news.

    The ecosystem does not refer to apple services, which they didn’t even have before not too long ago. 

    The iPhone is priced well, as even the highest models are best sellers. The market feels they’re fair, despite you wanting cheapies.

    My point is that you aren't tied to the ecosystem, so why stay? You have even mentioned that you hate iOS on the iPhone but tolerate it on the iPad mini because you are always in apps.

    Surely not just so you have a home Huawei from home here.

    Apple’s operating system for Mac computers hasn’t been called “OS X” for some time now. It was renamed macOS a while ago and is numbered as versions 10.XX

    That’s fine, but it was working just fine as recently at the 7. There was the 7 and the 7 Plus, I believe it was 3 memory tiers and several colors. If they would’ve just went with 8/8 Plus, 9/9 Plus, etc it still would’ve worked. But now an Xs/Xs Plus probably in 3 or 4 colors and a 9 in what, 5 or 6 colors, on top of who knows which older models they’ll keep around. Maybe the X and/or the 8 and/or 7 so they have something in literally every price point. Oh and don’t forget about the little ol SE, too. That’s a little Xsessive. 

    As for Samsung, I don’t care about them enough to know anything about their products. My last Samsung was the Impression! That predates the Galaxy!! 

    I’m just disappointed with Apple that they lost their laser sharp focus. The new phones are truly ugly in my opinion and I never thought Apple could make an ugly product. Not in post-iPod days, anyway. And they want to bring that theme to the iPad....sad.

    I thought it was iPhone ex, not 10. The naming is even worst knowing they just skipped 9 and have a no-number, an 8, and a 10 out. Whoever designed this layout needs to be flogged.
    Roman numeral 10 was for the 10th anniversary of iPhone. How are you on this site and don't know that?  I don't expect people to know every nuance of Apple's products, but you didn't know last year's phone is\was the iPhone 10.... come on man... You should be the one flogged for even coming on here and writing that silly sh**. My goodness!

    Some are saying this was an intentional leak to create free media and buzz before the event. That makes no sense to me. All the buzz for the event has basically been killed now that we know what the new Watch and iPhone will look like.

    I'm not being snarky when I ask "how are these conclusions being drawn by that one image?" I went to the source article and there aren't more images. This image shows nothing that cannot be explained as existing current phones with funky lighting, a new backdrop, and reflection.
