Why brands don't use number 9?
 

Windows 8 > Windows 10
iPhone 8 > iPhone X
Why some brands don't use number nine? Is there so conspiracy?

Some languages read text 'upside down' so a model 9, after a model 8 could easily be mistaken for a older model 6 - a step backwards and they wont purchase it.

9 is Satan's secret number -- didn't you get the memo.

myths, lucky number sleven :)

thanks for asking... i was curious about this as well

For Windows, it had something to do with the number 9 being used as a stop variable, indicating the end of a series.

For Apple and iPhone, I think much had to do with it being 10 years since Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone. That's why Apple announced the iPhone X in the "Steve Jobs Theatre" in their new headquartar that he started to build. That auditorium has not been used before and had its first use yesterday with the memorial of Steve Jobs as opening number. A very nice way to pay tribute!

They want to accentuate their homosexuality so they named it "X"

Examples of homosexuality enhancing: retina display, air drop, face time...

Good fact

Some interesting stuff here. If you ask me, X is even worse than 9.

Thanks mate!
