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

[HEK]

It would have been hilarious if someone yelled out "you're holding it wrong" after it failed the first time.

Never get invited back

People are going to be so confused. I just texted my wife about the iPhone 8 pre-orders this Friday and the iPhone 10 on 10/27.

She replied "What happened to the iPhone 9." I really don't know how to respond to that.

Tell her it's like Platform 9-3/4... invisible to Muggles!

sack Tim Cook. Destroying the company

No chance of Face ID causing any disruptions in a movie theater.

If someone is using ANY phone in a movie theater, they should be executed!

My thinking is that they intended to announce ip 8 and plus today along with x so that they could try to persuade people to get ip 8 and plus and decrease the demand on x.

And the FaceID fail may also decrease demand to some small degree among the risk-averse among us.

$1350 for the iPhone X 256gb with apple care. Yikes on apple upgrade. But you save a $1 than when you buy it out right plus apple car.

Wow I've never seen so many negative comments on a new IPhone, especially one that Apple is going to push hard due to the pricing...Anyway my thoughts:

1)Looks like a beta device to me
2)Face ID seems slower than Touch ID, no thanks
3)That notch, ughhh no thanks

 

[slvrscoobie]

will the airpower ONLY work with Series 3 watches, or will my series 0/1 work on it?

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

This one have looked better.

Still find it hard to believe they didn't take this approach.

In every other regard it looks wonderful though, just so much more elegantly finished than the mock ups we have seen.

It looks like I'm not the only one underwhelmed. Plus, I can't get my head around paying over $1000 for a phone. A PHONE! As much as I dislike the Android operating system I do like some of the phones. I guess I will have to take a second look at them...

 

[Delgibbons]

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

What have the Romans ever done for us?

Yeah, maybe they could replace him with you.

 

[AppleInLVX]

$1,529.00 CAD *before* tax for the 256GB model. I never thought it'd happen, but I guess I've just been priced out of the newest iPhone.

 

[trip1ex]

X is awesome. Probably not getting one. IT's a lot of $$$$. But definitely makes 8 look dated.

 

[shamus99]

Handing it over to someone like my wife or son to use perhaps.....

Idiots are going to crash cars to trying to unlock their phone....

Good point... also hard to be discrete when just peeking at phone in certain situations. Notch doesn't bother me and can be fixed in software. (use it for controls like touchbar). Face stuff is cool but touch should have been implemented.

No, just being tossed out is good enough for me.

 

[smarch]

The lack of showmanship with this crew is astounding. This was the big one. How do you manage to make this one boring?

Phil Schiller is death at these things consistently, but the rest of them were terrible too.. Tim Cook was the only one with a couple flashes of being interesting to watch.

The whole thing made me miss Steve so much.

 

[HEK]

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.

Don't have enough displays. Plus this way gets the A11 chip out there, along with pad charging. Fairly simple to understand really.

 

[lutieren]

Apparently there seems to be an epidemic when it comes to reading. You can see "your passcode is required to ENABLE Face ID". The phone just booted up. It's a demo setup fail not a face id fail.

This. The only person commenting on this so far that knows what he's talking about. My god this forum is so full of charlatans.

 

[Shabbis]

What are the physical dimensions of the iPhone X?

Will developers have to re-write all their apps that leveraged Touch ID for Face ID? Two versions of their apps?

 

[zombiecoops]

Blush Gold??

They will be saving that color for spring

 

[Yuthopia]

It's really too bad. Instead of TouchID being implemented into the display, they are raving about Plan B Face ID, and animated emojis and snapchat. Ugh.

Why? It looks slow now, but it is the way to go. More and more improvements will come. I think it is an exciting future.

Anyway I think Apple will keep touch id in their devices for a long time.
Also identical twins cannot use face id as their Authentication measure anyway.

 

[Geurt]

Yeah, the iPhone X is pretty underwhelming to be honest. And as someone who has used Windows Phone for the last 1/2 decade, I really don't see things like "swipe up to unlock" to be revolutionary. In fact, I find the touch to wake to be more of a pain than a good thing.

You are gaining a lot of experience ... according to your footer

 

[DNichter]

Happy with everything I saw. Screen and performance will be very impressive. Face ID looks like it's a great solution and they took the steps needed to make it secure. I like the gestures they are introducing as well. My only disappointment is 64GB as the entry and the November release.

 

[Larry-K]

So for a mere $200 premium over the 8+, you can turn your face into an animated pile of poo. Would have been more impressed if the X stood alone and there were no 8/8+.

I wonder if Face ID works for people whose heads ARE animated piles of Poo.
