IPhone with screen covering the entire front? "A dream from the first phone," said Phil Schiller. However, the real evolution of the X-Evon began in 2014. And in 2016 the project suddenly became very concrete. According to Dan Ricciu, Apple had launched the "Horizon" version in 2018. However, while noting that the key technologies needed were available, the management took a decision to merge the development schedule and try out in 2017. It's only in the "lot From hard work, talent, courage and determination "that Apple was able to simultaneously deliver the iPhone 8 and the X-Eleven to the tenth anniversary of this band.

According to Phil Schiller, "customers were willing to have something very new and different in the iPhone group," and thus Apple accelerated. However, in order to keep deadlines too short suddenly, we had to be practical. When he made the decision to shoot the home button and fingerprint reader, everyone followed without a question, says Dan Ricciu. "We did not try to put the fingerprint reader on his back, through the glass or on the side." It must be said that Fez Ed has already introduced an internally effective like the second-generation Touch ID ... and that there was, in any case, no time to question the overall design proposed. Also according to Dan Ricciu, it had to be certified very quickly to allow teams to focus on technical challenges, that is last November.

A year later, fans can appreciate the result: since Friday morning, before ordering iPhone X up in the hands of their owners. On the other hand, it is useless to hope to get one in the hexagon if the pre-order step is skipped. Apple's French store has no iPhone X on the shelf, except for demo purposes.
