iPhone X tech was originally meant to show up in 2018, Apple's Riccio says
78Bandit said:Small bezel design should have been implemented last year with the iPhone 7. AMOLED is a great technology, but if Apple would have developed a redesigned iPhone with a modern design based on LCD display tech I think it would have gone over more successfully than continuing on with the huge top and bottom bezels of the iPhone 6.
My takeaway from this is Apple was forced to bring their expected tech forward a year because they didn't have anything interesting in the pipeline for this year. Their plan was for the iPhone 7s to be the flagship and it simply wasn't standing up design wise with what was coming out of other manufacturers. The Galaxy S series, Huawei Mate, Essential Phone, LG G6, Pixel 2 XL, etc. were miles ahead of Apple's 2014 design that debuted with the iPhone 6. Apple had to do something to stem the continued slump in sales of their bread-and-butter product, so they ratcheted the version number up a full notch to 8 to give the impression of a new phone and threw in the luxury priced X as well for those that were waiting for a new design.
