they could've easily integrated TouchID into the power button like Sony has it...
You mean like they decided with the 5s that gloves don't exist?
Exactly! The UI changes I was expecting, a blacked out top bar or the use a quick black to transparent gradient.
Looks nice but way too big, I hope they one day give the iPhone SE the bigger-screen-slightly-larger-body treatment, till then it looks like I'll be switching to Android for a non-phablet flagship phone to replace my aging SE.
so who here has been put off by the price and is skipping?
Oh, no...It's Face ID Failgate. Where's the slide to unlock, headphone jack and keyboard. And there's still no animated dandelion on the lock screen. This thing will never sell. 
Have not used corded ear pods since I got the Air Pods. Always got tangled in wire before. Glad they got rid of 3.5 mm jack.
I rapid charge with lightning to UCB-C cable and 29 watt power adapter. Below 70% I get one percent charge increase per minute. 15 minutes gets me 15%.
Have drawer full of corded ear buds and adapters. Never used em once.
Here’s Apple’s video on how developers should design for the X screen.

There is no way I'd buy one of these until its been proven in the field. I think Apple is taking a very big risk abandoning the TouchID for FaceID with no backup plan. One of my favorite features of the iPhone is TouchID. They just removed it. It would have been better for them to introduce FaceID while still leaving TouchID there somewhere... either on the back or side... as a transition device. I am expecting its not going to be as slick and quick as TouchID in its first iteration. For that reason alone, I would not buy one.
And as an FYI, my Surface Pro has facial authentication for Hello Windows and it works very well, so I'm definitely not opposed to facial... its just that I don't know that its as good as TouchID for a phone. I have to handle the phone to pick it up, so using a finger is not an extra step really. I can just imagine it getting confused too when i didn't want it to wake up and unlock.

Que all the people that said wireless charging is all gimmicky. But now that it's on the iPhone it's better than sliced bread

And the C, so 14th... But technically 10 represents the Tenth Anniversary, not it being the 10th iPhone.
The BS, utterly self-congratulatory pseudo-benefactory tone of this was revolting. If Tim Cook believes half of what he says, he is delusional.
Apple as benefactor. Please.
Apple as humane, boon giver. Try not to laugh.
Apple as anything other than a pretentious, hypocritical cash machine, not so much.
Time to start looking around for other options.
Ones without the self-righteous nonsense of Apple.
I will try to learn to deal with Windows. Because this crap is intolerable.

Same here. Apple's losing a lot of their core fans. I still use the products, but the excitement is gone. They are good products, but not much fun anymore. And I hate how they lose some of their aesthetics, esp. GUI.
My 7+ requires a fingerprint if I turn it off and back on again. I don't believe there is a way around this for touch ID, although I think you can delay it with the passcode enabled. I would assume if Face ID is a replacement for Touch ID it will function the same way and Apple will force you to unlock the phone every single time you power it off and on, even if there is no delay. Of course I'm just guessing based on what we have today.
But it is kind of scary to explore that thought, if you wear sunglasses the iPhone X probably isn't for you.
