How Quickly Are Apps Updating for iPhone X?

Before the iPhone X was released, there was a lot of speculation in the tech community around how quickly apps would be updated for the new design. I heard commentators say it could take several years, and that this delay might be a reason to hold out on the iPhone X until a year or two pass.

Now that the iPhone X has been released and developers have begun pushing updates for their apps, we can begin to see how quickly this transition will go.
