14 DAY TRIAL // The iPhone X is one of the most successful iPhone models released in the last few years, or at least that’s what early figures show, with Apple Stores once again being flooded with orders and people who’re walking in praying to find the device in stock.
And while many people are actually showing interest in getting an iPhone X, it looks like not everyone knows exactly what they’re buying, and they mostly spend a thousand bucks because it’s a brand-new shiny Apple product.
Jimmy Kimmel offers what’s pretty much the living proof for this. What he did was show people an iPhone 4 claiming this is the new iPhone X, asking for their opinions on looks and feeling when holding it in hand.
Unsurprisingly, most people described the iPhone 4 as revolutionary, futuristic, handy, or anything like that, despite the fact that it’s actually 7 years old and it looks nothing like the iPhone X. Without a doubt, this seems (and might be) staged, but don’t be too surprised if this actually happens and some people buy the iPhone X just because it’s the latest iPhone.
Truth be told, however, the iPhone 4 was one of the most beautiful iPhone models ever released, but this is by no means an excuse not to tell the difference between a brand new version and a 7-year-old one.

And for what it’s worth, it looks like demand for the iPhone X is indeed overwhelming. John Donovan, CEO of AT&T Communications, says the iPhone X is the most anticipated iPhone ever released by Apple, and there are already signs the device is going to be super-successful.
“All the signs are that customers love it. It's probably the most highly-anticipated version. And demand has been strong. So we're pleased,” he recently said.
Apple does not provide any kind of figures for first-weekend iPhone X sales, but shipments should actually skyrocket in early 2018 when the company is expected to finally align production and demand.
