Apple Announces 5.8-inch 'iPhone X' With Super Retina OLED Edge-to-Edge Display

[Jessica08]

The new watches look cool, but that may be because I don't have an Apple Watch. Maybe one day.

Anyway, I think the X is ugly. And the 8 looks very similar to the 6s and 7.

What the hell!!

The iPhone X is STILL ONLY IP67 rating! Hahahahaha. For £1150....

Looks like battery life is also slightly worse than the 7 Plus.

Forget it, I'm out.

 

[alex2016g]

I wonder what will happen to the iPhone 8's new beautiful glass back after you drop the phone for the first time???

 

[Kevlar]

For the price they should of included airpods.... Then it would of been a no brainer.

At current exchange rates that should be $1219 for the 64Gb. So they are skimming another $100 off of Canadians? OK, now maybe I'm losing interest (or buying one from the U.S.)

UK prices are disgusting as well. Even with taxes factored in I will save £200 by buying it in America. Thankgod the other half is Texan!

are we sure that photos and videos taken with phone will have that cut out? so ill watch netflix and have the movie cut off?

 

[Sleepwalker71]

and the first live FaceID unlock failed....
hopefully it's gonna work in real life...

In fact it didn't. Phone has been restarted before and it always require PIN to unlock and reactivate Touch ID. Apparently FaceID too. You could read the message at the top of the screen.

 

[Seanm87]

I love it.

I do not, however love the price so I won't be getting it.

 

[BiscottiGelato]

Face ID.... Touch ID can be used without even looking at the phone or on a flat surface.

It will look like everyone is taking selfies all the time just to unlock their phone.

Question is who grabs their phone not looking at it? If you think about it, like never....

 

[octopi]

Does anyone know if you can... er... make telephone calls with this thing?

 

[dan110]

The design of the X is horrifically ugly...as is the price.

Also, its not true edge-to-edge display.

I went to look at a Samsung 8 at my local tech store before the Keynote. At this point, I'm convinced Samsung is at least 2-3 years ahead of Apple right now.

I honestly think they need to skip a year and really try something categorically new with the phone technology.

Looks like LG came out with the edge to edge first, and Samsung came out with the facial recognition first in the S8.
Though not a surprise as Samsung and LG are making the displays for Apple.

first out doesn`t mean better … but they did the "bezel less" much better !

 

[cableguy84]

Can someone make a good notch meme?

 

[ThisBougieLife]

Oh look, the most upvoted comments on MR hate it. Color me surprised. Not.

Because the only "correct" opinion is to love it instantly

 

[jaack]

I believe the FaceId failing on his first attempt during the demonstration may in fact be because his face wasn’t actually in the phone, that is why it didn’t unlock for him. Accidents do happen as it may have been an oversight when they were setting up

It looks as if the iPhone was just turned on, so it needed the passcode to use FaceID – same situation with TouchID

 

[paulkaliciak]

Just trying to figure out how X is pronounced ten.

Well you see, centuries ago there were these people called "The Romans"....

 

[myrtlebee]

That top notch is not embraceed into the display. looks ugly

This one have looked better.

Would have seriously considered buying it if this were the design- as it is, hell no. The fact that they keep it overlapping video, photos and games seems like a joke!

 

[Wags]

Already wondering about AUP. Extra payment on old phone or Apple have some kind of consideration. What if can't get right away because of production too ??

 

[apolloa]

They've dropped the iPhone 7 price by a measly 50 quid...

Wow.. so the iPhone X is the only model worth buying at these stupid prices, or the 6S..

 

[csglinux]

I thought I was done with Apple after they "courageously" ditched the headphone jack. But now that I can turn myself into a talking poop emoji, I may have to reconsider. Obviously Apple understands what the consumer really wants.

 

[jonnysods]

sorry apple but face id is a fail. no one wants to hold their phone up to their face to simply unlock it.

Hold it up to your face, then swipe to unlock. Its going to add extra time to something that should be super quick.

I really feel like next year will be touch id under the screen.

 

[a.gomez]

Bionic neuro processor.... $999....

Im not sure the one that is more idiotic.

 

[bigjnyc]

Lol these threads are so funny, people hate the phone, it’s horrible, Apple screwed up, it’s so expensive, blah blah blah..... then you see the same screen names posting about tracking their new phone, or ordering online, or lining up in a store.... comical

 

[skutsko]

I don't understand what Apple was thinking with the launch of the iPhone 8 and 8S. should've just gone with the X. I wish we could bring Steve Jobs back because innovation has has been despicable since Tim Cook took over.

Love it!
