You might have been wondering why this is happening. Many technology products made both especially phones and desktops avoid some model of numbers to add to their brands.
The Microsoft Windows Software went from 7 to 8 and jumped to 10 avoiding the use of windows 9.
Apple also, has skipped the 9 version of the iPhone series by moving from
iPhone 8 and jumped to the Iphone 10 (X) . There’s a reason why Blackberry also moved to BB10 instead of BB9.
What’s the reason behind all these happenings? why is the number 9 avoided by every products. Credits to MisterMo as we read on!


Marketing and Perception
If you want to sell products across multiple cultures, the rule of the game is to understand those cultures and their superstitions. This is the 21st century, but human nature is still essentially the same. For example, even in many places in the West, the number 13 is considered a number for bad luck. Remember “Friday the 13th”? Aha.
You are not likely to see Windows 13 or an iPhone 13 in the future.
Also, in countries like Korea, China and Japan, the number 4 is a synonym for the word “death”. As such, brands active in those countries tend to avoid it. Who wants to buy death?! I remember Nokia avoiding that number in phones they shipped to that region.
Don’t forget it. If you want to sell products (consumer products especially) across multiple cultures, the rule of the game is to understand those cultures and their superstitions. Sometimes, brands take a chance and go ahead to push a product associated with an unlucky/negative number anyway. Sometimes, that is part of the game. But with the consumer public, perception is a factor. A strong factor.


The Number 9
So, what’s up with the number 9? It is a curse word in Chinese and a synonym for suffering, agony or torture in Japanese. That’s what.
Note the Chinese connection. That is a huge market that big brands cannot afford to play with, so those brands who wish to sell there avoid numbers that can mess up product perception. In marketing aferall, perception is everything.
Now you know why there is no iPhone 9. Apple jumped and passed the Chinese curse word. And when I say curse in this context, I do not mean swear.

Dnt mind me. I Agree withd number 4 thing. There was a time a Chinese company told me to provision 25 special numbers for their staff. They told me not to provision any sim with a 4 in it cos no 4 means bad luck to dem.

Just hearing about the number 9 superstition sha.

You are right, if you have ever board an Airplane before u would notice most of them don't have seat number 13 they jumped from 12 to 14. Because they believed 13 is badluck ... Anyway all na crap if your time reach you most die.

Ok

Lol. Bloggers ehnn

The reason Apple released iphone X( 10) is because 2017 marks the 10th year they entered the smartphone game. They marked thier anniversary with the phone.

What business does American and Canadian firms have with Asian cultures and traditions?

I don't believe it.

iPhone 9 may still be coming. After iPhone 8s. iPhone X is just an anniversary edition.

Videos or..
