Jony ive assures that it took Apple 5 years to develop the iPhone X

Apple chief designer Jony Ive recently stated that the new iPhone X was in development for five years.

Apple tested multiple prototypes of iPhone X until finding a functional design

During an interview at the New Yorker TechFest event, Ive stated that her team has been working on the concept of the iPhone X for the past 5 years. Likewise, he also claimed that the company had multiple prototypes of the iPhone X, although the most convincing of all was the model they presented in September.

As can be seen in the image above, the screen covers practically the entire front of the terminal, although there is a small black stripe in the upper central part, where the sensors and the camera for selfies are located.

"During the 99% of the times we tested it, no prototype was not convincing us, " Ive said of the iPhone X development attempts. "Almost the entire development cycle we ran into things that were going wrong, " he added.

However, as the years passed, Apple apparently solved each of the problems, culminating in the design and presentation of the iPhone X carried out last month.

iPhone X, a revolutionary phone?

The iPhone X was announced alongside the new iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, and was described by the company as the "future" of smartphones. It brings a 5.8-inch screen with super-thin frames, there are two rear cameras and a glass finish.

The biggest novelty of all is that the iPhone X no longer has a fingerprint reader or a physical Home button, but rather that the terminal is unlocked using a technology known as Face ID, which is used to verify a person's identity. through facial recognition software built into the front camera.

All these developments make the iPhone X the most expensive phone ever released by Apple, with a price that reaches 1, 159 euros for the model with 64GB of storage. It will be available for sale on November 3.
