I work with Apple. Whenever a new device comes out or even before it's announced, I simply ask them and they make sure I get whatever it is on launch day.
Got a tip for us?

I don't think you and a whole lot of people who upvoted you understand how sunglasses work. The iPhone X has an IR camera. IR cuts through sunglasses. To the iPhone X, your sunglasses just look like any other pair of glasses. Not sure why this is so difficult for people to understand? It's why remote controls have black plastic over the IR transmitter and yet still work.
Yeah, that was kinda sad. It's like Apple thinking they have to entertain the "children" who they can manipulate.
I'm impressed that the next version will have 4.3 billion transistors.
That's probably more transistors than my Mac Book Pro.
Perhaps it's time to release a laptop without a processor, GPU, memory or hard drive. You use your iPhone and it broadcasts HD resolution wiressly to the screen and use bluetooth to access keyboard and trackpad. Even power could be sent wiressly. The benefit is that your programs and files will be with you all the time
Since the shell will be cheaper than a full computer, you could have a shell at home and one at the office, no need to carry the laptop back and fourth to work.

FaceID seems like a real boon to customs officers and law enforcement that need to get into a suspect's phone. Instead of a passcode or pattern, just hold it up to the owner's face. Voila, unlocked!
It does. Apple makes mistakes all the time. And this is an extremely tiny one in comparison to some of their massive mistakes like Bendgate, Antennagate, Apple Maps release, firing Steve, etc.
And when I need to ask another human to unlock my phone, this will be a concern. Since it's an incredibly-advanced computer deciding what I look like, I'm not concerned.
I know it has been beat to death, but the 256gb with Applecare+ and tax is $1450. That is insane! (I might get it lol)
What happened to Apple? They used to be 2-3 years ahead of the competition. Now they are 8+ years behind? Palm had inductive charging since 2009.
Apple is dead.

I didn't just sit through a two hour keynote to buy an iPhone 8!! That's barbaric! Like eating steak in front of a starving child...
One could dream up dozens of scenarios for and against. I err on the side of caution and not chance. I want the option to have to make a face to open the phone or be able to make a face that requires a passcode. This should be possible with the existing hardware.
I think you have it in reverse. Your phone requires the passcode when you power it down, not a fingerprint.
I watched on my iPhone 7 Plus via wifi service from Verizon Fios then via AT&T LTE, and then back on Fios as I got out of the shower, got dressed, walked the dog, fixed lunch, ate lunch, meandered around the yard, and had a flawless viewing experience. I'm not negating your experience, because I had terrible problems like yours last year on my iPad via wifi and had to switch to my iPhone with my wifi turned off, so I empathize with your frustration. I'm just wondering myself why I had a bad experience over wifi last year and a great one over LTE. ???I was in front of my Apple TV with an uninterrupted 100mbs connection, but at least 50% of the keynote was unwatchable due to delays, hangups, and video/audio that was not synced. Nice job Apple.
Kind of hard to get excited about these new things when they can't even get this right.

People may scoff at your comments, but this is honestly how it works for business accounts. They get you what you want.
people saying it failed the first try didn't see what was wrong with it. it was the "you need to type in your passcode before faceID will work" message you get when you turn off/on your phone or make changes to your touchID settings.
sadly people will see and believe what they want to.
my biggest concern is now law enforcement can unlock your phone really easily.

I wasn't gonna upgrade this generation anyway because I have a 7 and I'm perfectly happy with it for now. But unless the iPhone X successor brings back touch ID, it's not gonna be an easy decision to upgrade next year. That's a lot of $$$ for a device which is not the "no-compromise" flagship phone it should be.
Palm Pre also looks had a physical keyboard...What happened to Apple? They used to be 2-3 years ahead of the competition. Now they are 8+ years behind? Palm had inductive charging since 2009.

My mother’s Sony Xperia Z...something, has. Touch sensor in its power button on the side of the phone and works really well.
Watched the iPhone X product announcement today. You just have to love MacRumors.com. They got almost every detail about the releases right. If you don't mind being Spoiled this site is awesome!
Wonder why videos and pictures taken during key note didn't account for this. Hmm
