By the time Apple had green-lighted the iPhone X, the company was looking for technology that could be squeezed into a space a few centimeters across and millimeters deep. Even so, signs of weakness in iPhone 8 sales means Apple could sell fewer handsets than last year—despite all the fanfare surrounding the iPhone X.
