A decade after Apple launched its original smartphone, the lineups at stores are back today as the ultra-expensive iPhone X comes to the market after months of anticipation. By comparison, the iPhone 8 that's been available since September is listed at $950 or $1,170 depending on memory. Most analysts are predicting Apple won't be able to catch up with demand until early next year. They say Apple's suppliers haven't been able to manufacture the iPhone X quickly enough due to advanced components such as its new type of screen and facial recognition technology. Apple shipped 46.7 million iPhones during the three months ended Sept. 30, according to its fiscal fourth-quarter report released Thursday.
