No iPhone 8, call it the iPhone X

The naming makes sense because what this iPhone does is mark the 10th anniversary of the company's now-flagship device.

Apple is all set to take off the wraps of its latest iPhones on September 12. This anniversary edition is slated to be one of the most exciting of the iPhones which most of the media has referred to as the “iPhone 8.”

According to a report from Dutch website iCulture indicates that iPhone 8 won’t actually be the name of the anniversary model, as Apple will launch it as “iPhone X,” which will be pronounced iPhone 10.

The naming makes sense because what this iPhone does is mark the 10th anniversary of the company’s now-flagship device. There are also reports that Apple could launch the new model as iPhone Edition, and this also makes sense at some level, but it turns out that iPhone X is the preferred choice even for the company.

This means three iPhones will go live on September 12, namely iPhone 7s, iPhone 7s Plus, and iPhone X, all of which should go up on pre-order on September 15 (the first Friday after the public unveiling). Shipments should begin on September 22, a week after pre-orders start.

Other details will be revealed by the company itself in just 10 days during a press conference taking place at the new Apple Park. The anniversary iPhone is very likely to break the $1,000 price limit, but despite becoming one of the most expensive smartphones on the market, analysts still expect it to be the most successful iPhone in history.
