So do i, just upgrade it to an A11 chip, add 3D touch, put the better touch ID sensor in, maybe some more RAM, update the camera and call it an iPhone Classic.
Got a tip for us?

"But now when you see the notch, you see an iPhone & the two will live together for another 10 years & be as iconic as the round home button" - this is EXACTLY what I am terrified of. Now that they have adapted iOS to it and created new gestures and people are used to it... Yeah, it's probably here to stay, but I am still screaming inside and have not accepted it.
I agree, and it's getting worse. This reminds me of when Steve Jobs returned to Apple and immediately simplified their product lines.
I upgraded from a 7 Plus, to an X and yes I was very aware that the home button was not there. What you realise very quickly is that you may or may not like the new navigation..... its not intuitive, unlike all iphones beforehand.
I used both devices over a period of two weeks, hardware wise the x was superior in all regards, except screen ratio.
User experience wise, i prefer the 7, with the home button. User experience is very relevant, I went back to my 7.
My 'many' is about as valid as your 'monumental' personal opinion, ignore my 'many' if this sidetracks the issue im talking about here, which is user experience . If you really must know, in our team of 20, who used the work iphone x, they were divided about 50/50 about the missing home button.
If the notch is to continue in all future iPhone design I must keep my 7 Plus the maximum possible time.
When I go to the stores to see if the notch grow in me, nothing happens. Worst when I take a look to the others low bezels brand design.
Yes, it's possible to have low bezels and keep 16:9 screen ratio. I don't mind if the top bezel could be a little bigger to acomodate the 3D TrueDepth.
Also I don't like to see on screen only the battery status. The percentage % plus battery icon is more usefull.

Hey at least people aren’t complaining about the headphone jack anymore.
They’ve found a new pet hate.
I don't think that'll happen given that Intel XMMS 7560 will include support for CDMA/EVDO which will open the door to Apple dropping Qualcomm completely. In the end Apple is in a stronger negotiation position with Intel than they are with Qualcomm. Intel have faced the reality that their CPU will never end up in a mobile but they do see a future in supplying components and if it means providing Apple with modems that keep the fabrication facilities busy then it'll be a tidy little money maker once they gain credibility and others might start to look at Intel as a supplier too.
This is all fine and dandy, but the real truth is you, myself, my dentist and even Tim Cook have no idea about the long term ramifications of cell phone usage. As signal strength continues to become stronger and stronger, and tower coverage increases by city who really knows for sure what damage it’s doing to our bodies etc.
There have been some cases reported already about the negative effects of cell phone usage, and soon we will be rolling out 5g lol
Because not everyone wants to carry Phablet or mini tablets as their daily phone in the pockets.
Options are good, but i dont see the point of having 3 big phones (5.8", 6.1" & 6.5") that almost having the same size without offering smaller sized phone as well (4"-5").
If you want bigger screen use iPad or Mac, you can get more productive there. I want to be able to use my phone with one hand and don't get wrist pain problems.
[doublepost=1511352065][/doublepost]iPhone X is already too big for me, even iPhone 8 screen size is too big for me. I feel like no one cares about comfort, it's pure greed for a larger screen. Bigger phones is serious ergonomic risk, I believe people can damage their wrists and develop RSI because of it.

No it was a joke, it's what everyone on the threads will be asking now. I wasn't asking this myself!

It all depends on your carrier, what their towers support and where you are.Yay...So with this new gigabit modem I would be able to get 40mbps instead of 20mbps?
Around where I live and work, I pull 180mbps over cellular with the X.
If they'd put the camera, sensors etc in an angle inside phone and project the images with mirror, they could minimize the notch to a thin bezel. Also the Protruding back camera.
Sideways the lens has more space and with mirrors they would not have to show directly upwards from the screen.
Absolutely. I saw someone trying to write a new message on an X and, of course, they had to shuffle the phone in their hand to reach the icon... Slick.
If they continue the SE I hope it also gets a physical redesign rather than a processor bump. I'm rapidly running out of decent one-handed phone options, price not an issue, don't care if it costs the same as a bigger phone or is thicker to accommodate new cameras etc..

Last I checked Apple is still a multinational company selling its products on 6 of 7 of earth’s continents. FCC only has authority in 1 country, granted a big one. Also FCC’s commissioners all have expiring terms.
Not a good comparison at all. I go to the dentist yearly. My phone is in my pocket everyday.
