Do you call it X or 10?

[Marshall73]

Ten, just like macOS ten. I’m making a paddle with ten on it to hand out slaps to those that say X come Friday.

 

[Ortiz7983]

I write it X and i say it 10. That’s what the **** I suppose to be from Apple

It occurred to me that Apple may be considering going the Roman numerals route for its OLED phones so those who pronounce X as EX may get a bit tongue-tied further down the road.

I call it overpriced.

But I still bought one because , well, I'm dumb as h3ll I guess.

They kind of have to. If they call the next phone the Xs, they won't be able to live down the 'excess' jokes.

I call it 10. The first few days I was calling it X, But then I forced myself to say 10.

Why do these types of threads exist?

What's the point of life?

When your talking about the new iPhone, do you refer to it as the X or 10?

I call it the ten, though when typing, I'll often refer to it simply as 'X':

"Getting my X on friday!"
"Did you get a good delivery date for your X?"​

 

[Ntombi]

I type X (and say “ex” in my head when reading it), but say “ten” out loud.

An interesting fact: some Chinese people (like me) call it iPhone "cha" (which is "cross" in English). We did that before to Window XP by calling it "Windows cha P"
PS. my Beijing accent makes me tend to call it "iPhone char"

When I'm reading about it, I always pronounce it "ex" in my head. When I'm talking about it, it takes a little bit of effort, but I remember to call it "ten." I'm sure I'll get more used to calling it "ten" over time.

 

[praterkeith]

I call it... Xpensive.

 

[Kiimora]

forever 'X'

“Ex” mainly because I know it’ll annoy Apple.

 

[Chupa Chupa]

X because I'm lazy and bad at math.

The NFL already beat Apple to that when they adopted Roman numerals for the Super Bowl. Last season's SB was "Lie." This years emphasizes that a bit more.. LII
