I don’t think there is anyone who doubts that the iPhone X would not look like it does if Steve Jobs was still alive.

I don’t know what it would look like, nobody does, but I am pretty sure he would have never approved the camera sticking out in the back, since 6.

Having said that, I still think it’s the best phone out there. Wish they didn’t have to bump up the price, but hey-ho.

Worth noting there have now been more releases of iPhone (whether you count yearly announcements or iPhone versions) after Steve Jobs passed away than before.

Rumours say he took part in some of the future generations' designs while he was alive.

When Tim Cook was under heavy criticism for Apple’s product line, Apple let it known that the lineup had been planned four years in advance under Steve Jobs. Maybe not in all its detail but nevertheless.

IIRC, Steve himself said 3-4 generations, and that was pre-iPhone 5. So the steaming notch of shit is all Jony.

And no, blacking it into a dark status bar isn’t a lie. What’s a lie is having designated areas of the screen you’re not allowed to “draw attention to” per the new HIG. https://developer.apple.com/ios/human-interface-guidelines/o...

(Look at all the wasted space in Landscape orientation, just to not draw attention to the disfigured screen. And yes, I’m a little grumbly from having to rework some of my stunt designing in the app I’m working on to work on the X)

It's not out there, and no one's even used it in the real world - how can you make that call?
