Apple says 'iPhone X' won't be called 'iPhone 10 Plus'

Apple has said that it will not be calling its upcoming flagship smartphone the 'iPhone 10 Plus'. Instead, it will simply be called 'iPhone X', as was rumored earlier this year.

In a tweet on Thursday afternoon, Apple's vice president of marketing Phil Schiller confirmed that the name of the phone would indeed be iPhone X. He also said that the device will feature an OLED display and will be available for preorder starting on October 27th, with shipping beginning on November 3rd.

Apple has been rumored to be working on a new smartphone with a nearly all-screen design since at least last fall. The device was widely expected to feature an OLED display and to be called the 'iPhone 10 Plus'. However, earlier this year Apple CEO Tim Cook said that the company had no plans to launch a new iPhone with such features.

However, it appears that Cook's comments were not entirely accurate. While Schiller did not provide any details on the iPhone X other than its name and display technology, he did confirm that Apple is working on a new smartphone design, which will feature an all-screen design and an OLED display. He also said that the device will be available for preorder starting on October 27th, with shipping beginning on November 3rd.

It is not yet clear what the iPhone X will cost or whether it will replace any existing models in Apple's product lineup. The company has not yet announced a price or release date for the device.

Update: Apple has now confirmed that the iPhone X will start at $999 and will be available in 64GB, 256GB, and 512GB storage options.

Update 2: Apple has now also confirmed that the iPhone X will not replace any existing models in its product lineup. Instead, it will be positioned as a premium flagship device.

Update 3: The iPhone X has now been officially unveiled at an Apple event on Wednesday, September 13th. It features a 5.8-inch Super Retina OLED display, a dual-camera system with 12MP wide and telephoto lenses, facial recognition technology called Face ID, and a glass back for wireless charging.

Update 4: Apple has now announced that the iPhone X will be available in space gray, silver, and gold. It will also come with a new wireless charger that can charge other devices as well.

Update 5: The iPhone X has been officially launched and is now available for purchase on Apple's website and in stores around the world.

Update 6: Apple has announced that it will be releasing a software update, iOS 11.1, which will add new features to the iPhone X's facial recognition technology, called Face ID.

Update 7: The iPhone X has now been officially released and is available for purchase on Apple's website and in stores around the world.
