Tonight on Nine News, they were referring to the iPhone X as the iPhone TEN (as in the X being the Roman numeral), due to it being the 10th anniversary of the iPhone. I had thought it was just meant to be referred to as the letter X. Which makes me think the next iPhone will be the 10s or 11, that there won’t be an 8s, 9 or 9s. ---

I think Apple may stay with larger screen models, so no iPhone 8s. ---

Pretty sure I saw it first on an Apple site this morning but most other websites discussing it are writing it as "iPhone X - pronounced iPhone 10 " ---

> [@JohnsonTV](#): > > What does everyone think of the new iPhone Waste of money at that price and for something that’s not all that revolutionary to other phones already on the market IMO. I was hoping for more wow factor on this occasion and they disappointed yet again with nothing that interesting too see here (just the usual insignificant crap like better camera, longer battery life blah-blah-blah). Excluding the fanatics of course, most ordinary people (like myself) wouldn’t even bother considering this with the usual ridiculously expensive prices attached to each new product release with generally minor new features included. I think I’ll keep my older model for the time being. > [@sammy123](#): > > Well at least they don’t spontaneously explode Neither do a lot of other brands phones. And Samsung have apparently fixed that issue now. 😉 ---

There is absolutely no way that I’d ever be able to justify such a purchase. What happened with Telstra’s phone plans where you could just pay a nominal upfront fee alongside the 24 month contract and then not have to worry about paying monthly device fees? I remember for my first iPhone (an iPhone 4) I paid $99 upfront with a $50 monthly plan. That seems a much more manageable idea than having to pay a considerably higher monthly plan fee ($120 a month?!?!) ---

I believe the ACCC considered this “too confusing / too hard to compare” by the average consumer and forced companies to change to what they do now. [This Choice article](https://www.choice.com.au/electronics-and-technology/phones/mobile-phones/articles/mobile-phone-rights) details some of the requirements that were brought in post ACL / TCP in 2010. ---

> [@mubd](#): > > I remember for my first iPhone (an iPhone 4) I paid $99 upfront with a $50 monthly plan. That seems a much more manageable idea than having to pay a considerably higher monthly plan fee ($120 a month?!?!) But then, the outright purchase price back then was much lower too. Still, going on a 24 month contract now is much more competitive cost wise vs a outright purchase than it used to be. ---
