It means the globalists have infiltrated your brain to blllllllllllllllllll

Its more representative of the 10th anniversary iPhone than the model name 10.

Until this time next year we wouldn't know what Apple is doing as far as the naming of the iPhones.

Simple. Because they chose to.

The iPhone X (iPhone 10)) marks ten years of iPhone production, and for the first time since Steve Jobs died it's the first iPhone which is a genuine major evolution rather than a few progressive tweaks to an older design.

Also, you're working on the false assumption that iPhone model numbering has always been a simple numerical progression, but it hasn't. There was never an iPhone 1 nor an iPhone 2. The original was simply the Apple iPhone, but when many people complained that it was a bit backward in not having the latest 3G technology Apple made a big play in naming the successor the iPhone 3G. After that came the mildly improved 3Gs and then Apple's marketing department just got lazy and called the next one iPhone 4, then 4s and settled into the predictable pattern until last year's iPhone 7. This year they broke it, so what really should just be an iPhone 7s is the iPhone 8 and they announced their new flagship model with genuinely new technology (for Apple, at least) as the iPhone X.

Who knows what next year will bring, but they're not going to name that successor to iPhone X the iPhone Xs for certain as that would be a marketing disaster (iPhone "eXcess").

It seems like a real dummy move on Apple because why would you buy the 8 or 9 now when the 10 is available. And if you are trying to save money just buy the 7, it's the same as the 8 except the camera.
