Where Did iPhone 9 Go?
Welcome back to our little corner of the internet, where today we unravel the mystery behind the iPhone 9.
As Apple enthusiasts of 2017 eagerly anticipated the next installment in the iPhone series, the tech world was abuzz with speculation. With the release of iPhone 8 and iPhone X (pronounced as iPhone 10), many wondered why Apple skipped the number 9 altogether. The answer lies in Apple’s data-driven decision-making process and marketing team.
Apple’s marketing team, armed with data from consumer surveys and market research, made a strategic choice to leap from iPhone 8 straight to iPhone X. Their reasoning? The name “iPhone X” created a sense of innovation and excitement, as well as being simplistic and modern. 2017 also marked the 10th anniversary of the iconic device.
By using data analytics, Apple was able to gauge consumer preferences and make an informed decision that aligned with their branding strategy. The move not only highlighted the groundbreaking features of the iPhone X but also positioned it as a flagship device worthy of celebration.
The iPhone X was also the first iPhone equipped with Face ID (or rather it lacked a home button). This revolutionised the technology for future models to come and I think altogether everyone was happy that Face ID came into the picture so early (no pun intended).
The absence of iPhone 9 illustrates the power of data-driven decision-making in the tech industry. By using AI-powered analytics, companies like Apple gain valuable insights into consumer thoughts and behaviour, enabling them to create products and marketing campaigns that resonate well with their target audience.
As we continue to witness the ever-evolving landscape of technology, one thing is certain: data and AI will play a significant role in shaping the future of innovation. So, the next time you wonder why there’s no iPhone 9, remember that behind the scenes, data and AI have contributed to the magic of Apple’s product naming strategy.
