iPhone X vs iPhone 10

[robertk328]

I was talking to T-Mobile the other day, and the rep said "I notice you also have the new iWatch"?!?! I thought, you're LOOKING at a computer that tells you it's an Apple Watch, why on earth would you still say iWatch. Lots of obscenities also went through my head.

Yeah, that's bad.

Yeah, that's bad.

Luckily I had the self control to not shout said obscenities.

It’s still less annoying than the dreaded “iwatch” people.

Man, I sound like a snob. Hahaha!

I really don’t understand how there are people who still say iWatch, I’m with you on that one lol

 

[evanking527]

Would you say instead then?

I’d just call it as it is, Apple Watch.

It doesn’t surprise me to hear people call it the “ecks” but when they said it at the Apple store it kind of surprised me. I only correct family members when they say “ecks” and I just let others call it what they want. It’s still less annoying than the dreaded “iwatch” people.

Man, I sound like a snob. Hahaha!

Don’t get me started on the iTouch people either.

I actually prefer to call it ex/ecks. I think it’s comical/curious how Apple chose not to use 7s/7s Plus for what is now the 8 and didn’t call the iPhone X the iPhone 8. I get it, the X is new and different and they wanted to name it something radical. So ...this year we’ll perhaps see X2, X2 (squared...that’d be kewl), or Xs/Xs Plus (extra small...lol, me thinks we won’t see that)?

Ex x 10

I call it the X, and I overheard Apple store employees calling it that as well.

I told my sprint guy I wanted a silver EX and he said 10

I have used both "10" and "X", but lately the last three or four times at the Apple store, I have used "X" inadvertently, and a few of the reps assisting me were very quick to correct me. One rep's tone was actually slightly condescending as if I had somehow insulted him and Apple lol.

I thought that was quite comical, as it really shouldn't matter since my money is green just like everyone else's. I made to sure to politely remind him of how I, as an Apple customer, expect nothing short of excellent customer service. He actually apologized to me, which I definitely appreciated. I am at my local Apple store A LOT, like first name basis a lot

I call it "Ex" I think that is a much cooler way to say it than 10 like all the other iPhones. Hey Apple did that to themselves, they could have just called it iPhone 10.

I call it the iPhone 10 or "the 10" ... because I learned about roman numerals back in elementary school. But after googling "Do schools still teach roman numerals" it seems that they are no longer taught. Of course, this presents a bigger problem for those who watch the Superbowl every year? I mean, all those weird letters after the word "Superbowl" must seem like gobbilygook!!!!

X(ex) till I die. I sounds cooler than 10. I don't care what apple wants to call it. The one I spent money on will be called the ex!

Agree

 

[Almeuit]

I've said 10 but also called it X when talking to other phone nerds. I'm guilty of both. :x

 

[vimagreg]

Ex. If I call it 10 now I would have a problem in four years

 

[TwitchyPuppy]

I purposely call it X, because it sounds cooler and irks some people

 

[tadpoles]

I purposely call it X, because it sounds cooler and irks some people

Those are really good reason too!

 

[currymvp3rd]

Most people call it iphone 10, i am from Arkansas

 

[TwitchyPuppy]

Been joking back and forth with my Dad calling it the iPhone X10 10X and now my Mom calls it the X10

It’s like people who say “iPhone 5SE”
