- MBCook 9y agoThat’s thought to be one of the reasons why. There are 3 years of phones that are effectively identical looking so if want to show off you have the ‘new shiny’ you really can’t because without close inspection no one can tell. The X obviously fixes that. There are rumors a big percentage of the supply will be going to China, more than even distribution. We’ll see.
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoYa, the X was definitely designed to solve that problem. I don't think it will be nearly as successful in the west as it is in the east (just like larger phones in general).
