Check out why Apple X is timeless.
At the Emporio Mall in Delhi, I once saw a long line of people waiting to enter the Louis Vuitton store. It wasn’t a scene I anticipated seeing, at least not in India. But in reality, this was happening. That scene stuck in my mind for a very long time, and I started to wonder how Louis Vuitton managed to make a pricey handbag “popular” without losing its appeal for exclusivity.
Five years in the past, Apple tried to make smartphones in the identical league as that of an LV bag or a Gucci idler. It turned a $1000 iPhone X – luxurious merchandise because it was then referred to as by press and commerce pundits – right into a popular culture phenomenon. Not solely did the iPhone X set off a cultural reset. However, it additionally established the marketplace for ‘premium’ smartphones at that time, lengthy after Vertu had exited the scene.
I closely follow Apple and the smartphone industry, so it consistently surprises me how Cupertino was able to make the iPhone X a best-seller when many people believed it to be a niche product. Since the original iPhone recently turned 15, I thought of going back to the iPhone X, which is one of my all-time favorite iPhone models. I was able to use the “renewed” iPhone X for nearly a month, thanks to people at ControlZ who shared a unit with me. Here’s how the iPhone X made me feel in 2022 and why I still think it’s the “it” phone that changed the game for Apple and the whole tech industry.
The 5.8-inch screen on the iPhone X, which did away with the home button and extended the entire width of the device’s front, was the device’s main selling point. With swipe-up motions, the house button was altered. As a result, Apple introduced FaceID, replacing TouchID earlier, and consumers were no longer able to utilize the fingerprint scanner that was located on the house button.
Although the $1000 price tag for the tenth anniversary iPhone was widely criticized, the market responded radically differently than analysts had anticipated. Everywhere you went, the telephone turned heads for being so stylish.
The iPhone X, often known as the “iPhone Ex” by younger, more successful social media influencers, suddenly appeared everywhere. There was not a single celebrity who was not seen holding an iPhone X. The iPhone X resembled the season’s most fashionable fashion accessories, such as a Christian Dior tote bag or a little traditional flap bag from Chanel.
