The iPhone X Was Named One Of The 25 Best Inventions Of 2017 By Time, As The Magazine Interviewed Apple's Ive And Riccio

This morning Time Magazine published a new list of the top 25 inventions of the year, Apple's new flagship iPhone X is on the list. At same time, the magazine also interviewed with Apple executives Dan Riccio and Jony Ive.

The iPhone X features some of the most radical design changes Apple has introduced in an iPhone since the original iPhone launched in 2007. It removes the Home button, includes an entirely new of user interface that embraces new gestures, brings impressive new camera technology, and introduces new biometric authentication in the form of Face ID.


Jony Ive speaks that how Apple is often the first to move away from technologies as they become dated. This includes the headphone jack and the Home button. He views clinging to outdated features as something that always leads to failure. As for cost, The design chief says packing those features and impressive processing power into the iPhone X has "financial consequence.”

“I actually think the path of holding onto features that have been effective, the path of holding onto those whatever the cost, is a path that leads to failure,” says Ive. “And in the short term, it’s the path the feels less risky and it’s the path that feels more secure.”

Dan Riccio, the company’s senior vice president of hardware engineering, says the iPhone X is "something we really wanted to do since day one." He also remarks that the iPhone X “really sets us up well for the next 10 years,” while he also says that Apple doesn’t design for the lowest price, but rather for the best experience.
