No, they won't call those phones with 5 years old design 11 when the new one is called X(10). Most probably it'll be 9 or 8s depending on how fast they want to abandon those models.
They'll be accepting preorder in late October, so you're a month and a half away from placing an order. And probably several months away from actually holding one in your hands.
lol the amount of hate on this forum is beyond me
You know the smartphone have changed the way we behave as a specie forever right? We have access of the world's information AT OUR FINGER TIPS, anywhere, any time. And vice versa, you have the potential attention of the entire world, inside your pocket.
That is progress.
Same for those complaining about the price. You pay upwards of a thousand bucks for your computer/laptop. And here's a more portable computer that you use WAY MORE. Why can't it cost the same as a computer?
And if you say you don't use your phone that much, simple, don't upgrade or get the much cheaper models.
All I know is I thought I saw him entering a passcode to get into the phone. I do recall him saying, now that you mention it, "Let me go to a backup device". Still, it looks bad. It's a good thing most of the general public doesn't watch these keynotes. It'll be interesting to see what the hands-on impressions are of Face ID.
It’s not terrible. It’s got some points of concern in terms of interface and design. Next years model will be the one to get.
This year the 8+ will the safer bet.
They skipped 6 to make the Note and Galaxy line have the same number, since the Note line came out a year after the Galaxy.
There are also plenty of scenarios where I unlock my phone before ever looking at it... like every time.
I think most people prefer for Android to work like that with the on-screen buttons. Its the simplest way to navigate the user interface without having to reach your finger all the way up the display, especially with phones getting larger.
Super Retina display invokes memory's of Sony Super Trinitron...for those that remember!
You get a better looking device with same screen quality from the makers of the screen, lol. Even cheaper
Regarding the iPhone, it's beautiful.
I love the metal borders and the glossy finish, it looks very high end.
The swipe textures, I'm still doubtful about it. That's the only thing I didn't like, I can think of many ways you swipe by error or by simply using the phone, for example when scrolling a web page or using a swipe intensive app like fruit ninja.

I'm actually worried it could be $200 more, so only $100 more would be a "relief". I can't believe I just typed that.
Curiosity, have you ever found apple troll on xiaomi rumor site (if there is any) just wondering why an happy xiaomi customer should spend his time on another phone forum...android must be very boring these daysOr get 4 Xiaomi phones and the Xiaomi book pro, better specs and a fraction of the cost. But no Apple logo on it
Wow... fullscreen movies/games with rounded corners and a chunk missing. Great.
I love the notch. So often I need to exit an app because I want to see if wifi is connected or remaining battery. If the info always flanks the notch except for in full screen video then that's a huge usability plus for me.
I'd bet the cost of a new iPhone X that the majority of those here at macrumors who are complaining about the notch will buy an X anyways. Reminds me of the reaction to the antenna bands on the 6.
But the face ID? That could be a serious dealbreaker for many. So could the price.

The difference is that what a person sees as "he looks just like you" is not the same as what a computer sees. Phil noted that the odds of it working are 1 in 1,000,000. That'll only get better with time.
I imagine it will work just fine with sunglasses, since they'll pass through the glass. If it works with regular glasses (and they said it does) I'll be very surprised if it doesn't also work with sunglasses.
