I've passed on commenting in so many threads that are full of childish, immature rants being posted about a phone, a device, a tool. It boggles my mind how so many people's priorities are so out of whack that details about a particular phone (that they can choose to buy or not to buy) cause them enough emotional distress that they feel the need to post their complaints in a forum, where nobody cares and nobody can do anything to affect the poster's choices. The other part that is very revealing about these posters is their overwhelming insecurity, in that they feel the need to not only express their opinion, but try to force their opinion on others in some lame attempt to validate their own views. It's one thing to say, "I don't like...." or "I do like...". It's something else to say, "I don't like... so you can't like..." or something similar. Enough is enough!
There have been hundreds of posts, blogs and news articles written about the iPhone X screen size, so people are already aware of this. Judging from the number of people buying the iPhone X, this is not a deal breaker to most people, even if it is to you.
This is likely the most ridiculous comment in your post, and patently false. Some people love the notch. Some people don't mind it. Some people would rather it not be there, but they aren't childish enough to let it bother them. And others that don't like it at all simply make the mature decision to not buy the iPhone X. If it bothers you, it is guaranteed
not to bother many others.
Another ridiculous statement, and completely false. A more mature statement would be "You
may be disappointed." Again, based on the evidence of iPhone X sales, there are millions who disagree with you.
The intelligent thing to do is not use your phone.... any phone... while you're driving.
If you can't look at your phone, there's no need to lament the lack of a home button. If you press the home button but can't look at your phone, what good does it do?
You falsely assume that everyone has grown to love the home button. You also falsely assume that everyone will not like Face ID.
I guess you weren't paying attention:
Use gestures to navigate your iPhone X
"To reach items at the top, swipe down on the bottom edge of the screen. Or swipe up and down quickly from the bottom edge of the screen.*
*Reachability is turned off by default. To turn it on, go to Settings > General > Accessibility, scroll down and tap Reachability, then turn it on."
Obviously it is, to millions of people. There are many who don't want a phone the size of the 8 plus. That's why Apple makes different versions of iPhones, Macs and iPads. Because not everyone has the same needs, preferences and priorities. That fact seems to escape you.
There are millions who would never buy a gold colored phone. You'll never find a consensus among people's taste in colors. Even if the X was available in gold, it would be overwhelmingly outsold by the existing colors.
Again you make the mistake of thinking that everyone shares your views, which they don't. The price of a thing is irrelevant. The value that one gets for the price is what matters, and that value is subjective. You clearly don't see enough value to justify the price. Millions of others do. Just because someone else can afford to buy the iPhone X and feels that they get sufficient value to justify the price that they paid, doesn't mean they lack sense. It means they have a different wallet, different needs and preferences, and they don't buy into your ridiculous assumption that if they don't wholeheartedly agree with you, they're wrong.
Again, a factor for some, but not for many others.
No, you're not sure of that, because you have no facts to support your assumption.
It's already included.
More wild assumptions with no facts to back them up.
Good for you. You may be waiting for a long time.... like beyond your life expectancy.
No, we have only been given one solitary person's opinions and assumptions.
If you don't like the iPhone X (or any other device) because of its features (or lack thereof) or its price, then simply don't buy it. It is foolish and immature to try to pass off opinions and assumptions as if they apply to everyone, since they clearly don't. The only thing you've accomplished with this post is to reveal to the readers what kind of mentality you have. Not something I'd be bragging about, but whatever works for you.
