Why did Apple skip the iPhone 9

When Apple launched the X series of their iPhone product, many keen-eyed fans noticed a change in the matrix. This is because, the iPhone series that came before iPhone X, was the iPhone 8 series, and contrary to the trend, Apple completely skipped the ‘9’ moniker, and directly went for X(or 10). Some believed that there was some superstition, while some even went as far as to claim that Apple simply forgot. The reason, however, was completely different.

The year 2017 marked the 10th anniversary of the iPhone and Apple simply decided to mark a new beginning for the iPhone lineup, with a fresh new design, new features, and a completely new direction, and to celebrate all these things at once, they named the new device, the iPhone X.
