It says X and it just sounds so much cooler. I find myself having to push out the word ten when I see an X also.

[TripleOne]

Hahahaha!
I still call it the 10.

I called a non-corporate T-Mobile store the other day and they asked if I was interested in the iPhone ecks (X). I told her no, but I was interested to know if they have cases for the 10. She didn't know it was supposed to be called the 10 not ecks.

[calebt]

X sounds like I departed from it, but I agree X sounds better than Ten.

[Rob Phillips]

I call it iPhone “Ten” because that’s what it’s supposed to be called (whether or not I agree with Apple’s bizarre naming scheme this year) but it’s crazy how many people refer to it as iPhone “Ex” including tech journalists and podcasters.

I had the same experience with a Verizon tech support specialist trying to work through an activation issue. I corrected her and she told me that everyone around her office had been referring to it as iPhone “Ex” for weeks. She had no idea!

Yeah. Similar to when macOS was OS X.

[rodeTrip]

most people just dont know that its the 10th anniversary iphone and also that x is the roman numeral number 10..

[Kilwillie]

If they wanted it to be called “ten”, they should’ve named it “10”. Since they’ve never used Roman numerals in their naming convention before, it’s natural there will Be confusion.

And yes, I️ thought it was was OS (Ex) for years. I️ assumes the “X” was an acknowledgement of its Unix roots.

[evorc]

It will probably stick around and not change. Many people didn’t even know OSX was OS10 lol.

[anon(5630457)]

I call it the iPhone "Ex" also and I don't care.

[Tartarus]

I call it the iPhone "Ex" also.

Well, don’t.

[anon(5630457)]

Well, don’t.

Meh.

[Garz]

I call it the X and not 10

[COMMISSIONERHBK9]

I call it ten

[falconeight]

I was in the apple store Hamburg Germany. I heard iPhone X in German by everyone.

[jj2339]

Had they really wanted people to call it the iPhone 10, they shouldn’t have named it the X. Everyone I️ know calls it X.

[Just_Me_D]

I, too, refer to it as an iPhone ten.

[Garz]

To me, the iPhone X is a classy phone. It’s $1000 + phone. Calling it 10 just sounds weird. Calling it the X sounds like it’s unique and special. Also, I can’t call it 10 since there is no iPhone 9. Just seems weird.

[Premium1]

I call it the X also lol

[rodeTrip]

more people are calling it x but ive been calling it 10 because i know better.. it feels weird saying x lol

[robertk328]

X10. Make it easy on everyone.

Might as well make people think you’re not only stupid, but also crazy. 🤪

Well if they’re going to call it the wrong thing I can at least make it more confusing for them 🤣

My friend called it a 10 and I actually got a little upset. She's in timeout now.

Wait, so you put your friend in timeout for calling it what it's named??? I'm putting you in timeout!!!
