Count me as one who would gladly switch to an updated SE phone from a 7. I know it's too much to hope they keep the audio jack.

iPhone 4/5 style sides...

the X is thicker than the 5's and se design actually
16% y/y revenue growth? Every new iPhone adopting design and tech?
What else do you need?
Notch is lazy and rushed engineering. With all the money Apple have they can invest in R&D to do it the right way with in-screen sensors without notch but it would mean one fewer upgrade cycle to profit from. This way they can pitch the notch as magical then when they remove the notch it's even more magical.
You actually don’t know the unit sales, so your argument that this 8 sells more units is complete speculation. It’s also likely wrong based on Cook’s comments and the sales data we do know. iPhone X had an enormous impact to revenue and ASP. It’s clear in the math and combined with Tim Cook’s statement 3 quarters in a row on the X.
I’m simply arguing the X is a huge success, indicated by the new phones all adopting the design and FaceID. The numbers like iPhone revenue and ASP also support the success of X. Tim’s comments that the X is the best selling iPhone is just icing on the cake. I can find the exact quote, but the way he states it does make it sound like iPhone X is selling the most units of any single model...not revenue.
Exactly. It will get people that bought into this design(me included) to jump at a true full screen phone. Every manufacturer knows they want the first true all screen phone. Its inevitable.
The people that say the notch is an apple trademark is nonsense.
I still dont think tech is ready but $$$ is a big factor and people will upgrade for a true full screen phone
that's exactly the point. It only takes 10% in sales for Apple to make massive profits. Talk about a grossly over priced product!
I know I am not too thrilled with the 828p display prediction from Kuo since he is one of the most accurate in the rumor mill business, but I think I will go for the LCD model regardless. I want the form factor at a budget price so I can ditch my 8+. Definitely would probably trade in my 8+ to a T-Mobile or an Apple to get $ off that potential $700 price tag.
give me ports and a great front facing camera please

I have the 6S too. Best phone they ever built. Bought it last year. Now it's already frikkin vintage, but still working splendidly under iOS 10. I'll update when I can use it instead of a mirrorless camera the likes of a Sony A6500 lol.

"Then, you see Apple is gaining and pushing out everyone else that directly competes with it"
Actually today Gartner is stating that Apple has fallen to #3 behind Samsung #1 and now Huawei at #2. IDC said this a month ago. Huawei does not even sell phones in the US. I can't see it being good for Apple if they ever did.
Yeah, no, on phones this large I can live without the corners digging into my hands.
Huawei will probably end up stealing more sales from Samsung than Apple.
You got it.
Apple sold 400,000 more smartphones last quarter versus Samsung losing 10,500,000 units.
Looking fwd to this “analyst” eating crow, when this comes to pass:

Lol, I also feel confident Apple will be on a tear this year. WAY jazzed about edge to edge iPad & a mini refresh!!!

You can't really compare Apple vs samsung sales. Apple only makes IOS, Android has far more makers of phones. Imvho both IOS and Android are great, I loved WP as well.You got it.

Apple doesn't sell $100 dollar phones, it is not competing in that segment cause well, there is almost no profit to be made there QED. Read wtf I write before responding, otherwise desist. Apple is also not selling $1 hear buds, $20 "smartwatches" so I'm guess they're also losing that battle huh. Good god!

No, it's not the point, learn to read. If something is "overpriced" it means it's priced higher than it's actual value to the buyer. If people keep buying it for years and years, volume of sales don't change significantly, it's correctly priced.
Did someone say 'super cycle'?
This must be the SUPER DOOPER CYCLE. We've already had the super cycle, last year. Remember? The wheel fell off when the starting gun fired.

Do you have that comparison excluding $50 (and lower) - $600 phones? I think the figures would look entirely different (like 99% Apple, but even Apple doesn't want you to know that… they might be accused of being a monopoly).
It's bezeless, friend. The 5.8 inch X is the same size as the 6 and the 8.
Think about things before blindly commenting.
I’ve had this battle before lol. Obviously, high priced (expensive) is much different from over priced (too expensive), where products sell slowly if at all. Apple sells 225 million iPhones a year to buyers who value the product at or above the asking price. They’re not overpriced.
To some, overpriced simply means priced higher than they personally are willing/able to pay. They blindly ignore the obvious fact that nearly a quarter of a billion people a year are telling them their definition of “overpriced” is wrong.
If only Apple followed industry standards and put a damn microsd card slot like most Android OEMs do. Now they have dual SIM potentially coming next, they should have at least a hybrid slot. Samsung sells 128 and 512gb skus of Note 9 and still gives you an option of microsd. Why can't Apple?$999 64gb
$1149 256gb
$1349 512gb.
Bank on it.
People that think they need 512 will pony up the cash. Always have, always will. Very few pay cash for a phone in the US anyway. Start at a $30 a month payment, then $36, $42, $47, now upper $50's with the Xs Plus. The procession is so gradual and removed it becomes another required monthly expendature. I highly doubt the majority of Americans who purchase an Xs+ 512gb on a plan make a reduction somewhere else in their budget. It simply becomes the cost of feeding the need.
IMO, $1350 for a phone is sad testimony to which we are all so dependent on our devices. It's almost a "Must Have." It will be very interesting to watch the sales over the next 6-8 months starting Sept 14th.
Never had a problem with the 5 style digging into my hands. It’s jusy a difference is style preference really. I think it would be easier to hold personally. Less likely to drop

Because of $$$ in apples pocket. Easy as that. Greed
Huawei virtually doesn’t even compete with Apple...other Android guys should be way more concerned. Few people likely say, “Hmm, should I get this iPhone or this Hauwei?”
More like, “Well, if I want an OS is going to spy on me, I might as well get this Huawei instead of the Samsung.”
[doublepost=1535509782][/doublepost]
Apple created this industry. I don’t want a micro SD.
[doublepost=1535510021][/doublepost]
Let me help you...I’m sure others have already.
Price is the reason.
Apple absolutely dominates the $600 and up smartphone world, which is why they own nearly all the smartphone profits.
Apple doesn’t care about market share, and no sane business would if they had Apple's position. Everyone wants to be Apple and the others just fight for scraps.
If you think 85% people choose Android bc they like it, you probably need to think again.
