Why it worked

The video taps into nostalgia and a common tech discussion point (obsolescence vs. historical significance) by focusing on a well-known, older flagship product. It also uses a slightly contrarian take on the 'notch' controversy to engage viewers.

Summary

The video discusses the iPhone X, highlighting its historical significance as the first edge-to-edge and OLED iPhone, and its groundbreaking $1,000 price point. Despite being considered obsolete by Apple, the creator argues it was a high-tech device for its time and paved the way for modern flagship phones.
