So why failed with one phone and worked flawlessly with the second phone? One was just restarted? It was the wrong phone? Software is still buggy, we don’t know, you don’t know, about we try it first and talk later?
Got a tip for us?

I'm using a 6plus currently. I'm glad the iPhone X isn't compelling enough to seduce people who've had their current phone less than a year. It will get them out of my way when it comes time to pre-order on 10/27. Please don't change your mind until I get my order in!
I enjoyed the 6+ for the time that I have had it, but I'm ready for some of the new features of the iPhone X, the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 6s.
All those people that are complaining about Samsung, Apple, LG, and other manufactures should build their own smartphones, TVs and so on.
No. Phil said. He showed a picture of a person holding a picture and said that the designers made sure that a photo wouldn't work. Nor would a mask made to look like the person.
They have almost 2 months to ramp up production. Plenty of time to bring up numbers, it better be readily available by then!
Much like the Essential Phone right now, I think most apps would actually simulate black borders around the video or app
The days of huge leaps are gone - at least until technologies advance significantly from where they're at now. This is true for Apple, as well as Samsung, and HTC and every other manufacturer out there.
Sure, we'll see improvements in battery life, driven by improvements in screen tech (such as the coming micro-LCD), and processor speed increases, but I'm not sure what people think is going to come out of a rectangular screened mobile computer / phone.
Nice, I like the design, my money is ready to go. I think the notch is awesome functionally, they had to have a bezel there so why not save on space and incorporate the status bar into it. I do think them not blacking out the "ears" when apps are enabled is terrible and hope they rethink that, or that devs can overcome it.
One question not answered is how the function bar will work, but from what I saw it looks like it's mainly software based and will be able to be hidden, which was my main concern. I'm also ecstatic they kept the hardware mute button, not sure why no other phones have this valuable feature.
But the design is awesome, they leapfrogged all the other bezel-less phones IMO. It's a shame it will be hamstrung by iOS, but I've learned to live with that.

I like my screen uninterrupted. Sorry, X sucks. That unibrow is ****ed up.
2016 - AAAAH WHY APPLE, SAME DESIGN AGAIN, WHEN WILL YOU MOVE AWAY! LOOK AT SAMSUNG
2017 * APPLE LISTENS * " WAAAAH WAAAAH THERES ACTUALLY NOTHING WRONG WITH IT BUT WAHHHH ANYWAY"
Point: This phone is Apples own, they didn't want to copy the competition. Stop complaining about the "notch", you complained about bezels for 3 years now they removed them and kept all features of iPhone that makes it iPhone and you want to carry on complaining. I cant find one thing actually wrong with this phone, people love a good moan thats all

Apple engineers: Tim, we managed to integrate touchId under the screen. It works flawlessly.
Tim Cook: Great, hold it for next year's.

It's getting bad. They have no foresight whatsoever into knowing if Touch ID works on their new screens to they ham up this face ID backup plan. Lol. There is nothing innovative about this phone. It still have bezels all around it and now a glaring notch drop down into your information. Crazy.
I never wear gloves, I just don't go to places that cold. But my glasses are permanently glued to my face, I can't see anything if I take them off. Hopefully it'll work, I can't believe they didn't think of that situation.
That status bar/camera notch area. Ugh
So almost 800 posts in this thread. About 750 and negative from the usual apple (and presumably everything else) haters. So, once again MacRumors boys have announced another Apple failure. Poor apple. If only they were loved by the macrumors boys, they would do OK. Meanwhile, those with class who understand that there has to be an area on the front and find the notch acceptable (as I do) will be able to benefit from the 750 who have no intention of buying a new phone but do spend their lives here hating apple. More phones for us. Yea.
I don't know if you have compared other phones from any other vendor. But big bezels are passé. It looking so 2007 and nobody is using it anymore.
Is it going to blow me too? Are we racing to see who can open their messages app faster?
I'm going to run my 6 Plus one more year. If Apple doesn't come out with something more competitive in price with the Galaxy S8 by then I will probably switch to Android. I like iOS but there just isn't anything in the iPhone X that commands a $275 premium over a comparable S8 to me, and I'm not going to spend $75 more for a four-year-old design iPhone 8 Plus either.
Apple has priced me out of the market which is certainly their prerogative. I've got the feeling I'm not the only one, but it is going to take at least six months to find out for sure. We'll almost certainly see comparable quarter and year-over-year declines in unit sales when the September 30 results are announced. With the iPhone X only available for two months in the next quarter Tim can blame supply constraints for a comparable quarter decline then too. However, if they don't catch up by the March 31 quarter it will show that demand has fallen.

Exactly this. I get the phone is a supercomputer in your hand, and so maybe the price is warranted for all that it does. At the end of the day though, that's just too much, even the price *is* valid. This is the first time I've ever looked at an iPhone and just couldn't justify it strictly based on price. Maybe that'll change, but I really don't think so. I thought that the 7 was expensive. This is a *lot* more.
The notch is bad but I feel like I could've gotten used to it. Blocking a chunk of any videos you watch is just insanely stupid.
I really believe that AR is 100% the future they are talking, showing what they did with the MLB app especially is the future of live sports. I think this camera/FaceID tech is simply how they introduce the future.
Can't wait for iGlasses with AR built in, TAKE MY MONEY NOW FOR THAT TECH!!
I think the X is a fantastic phone and I want one. I don't want one enough to endorse apples **** pricing policy, ****ing over their UK customers and generally taking the utter piss with their pricing.
Reminds me of my feelings about the MacBook Pro >= 2016. Nice, but way too expensive.
I'm going to wait a year, the features of the iPhone X will be integrated into next year's phone, probably at a lower price.
iPhone 8 is extraordinarily underwhelming.
How long until we start seeing reviews pop up? I'd imagine they'd start seeding these to tech publications and such right away? Really on the fence with the X....debating if I go to an S8/S8+ for a year until the 2nd gen. The notch is bothering me the most.
