Swiping from the bottom with your thumb as shown in the presentation assumes you have a very flexible thumb. I personally can't do it. Plus you can't swim from the bottom one-handed while holding the phone in other positions whereas you can easily click the home button in the same scenario. Ergonomically this may be a no-go for me. It also don't take into account the impact some cases will have on the ease of the swipe. Most cases protrude above the glass in order to protect from impacts. Trying to swipe across the case and then glass from the bottom doesn't feel very good.
Apple almost died while having a better PC than Microsoft PC
I'm referring to them cause they have much better and complete swipe functionality while Apple employs it only partially. And all the gestures you've seen on the today's demo came from those three dead companies, Apple did not come up with single swipe functionality of their own on iPhone X.
Point is that Apple wants you to swipe along the bottom edge which is fine but then in order to go back one screen you have to travel with your hand all the way up to the top of the screen to tap back button.
29 watt power adapter does fast charge on my 7 Plus. Looks like they have now let the charging circuit in the 8 and X also accept Larger 61W and 87W power adapters. Phone charger circuit on 7 Plus treats those as if they were 5W if I remember correctly from article I read.

They're gonna have to release it as an 11 next year or call it the 2018 iPhone. That model would have to be $800 while iPhone X price should drop significantly to make it accessible for consumers to upgrade, probably around the $500-600 marker. They're going to want to if they decide to phase out 6/7/8 models.
So Touch ID was one of my favorite features and I loved having wired headphones in my bag as a backup. Both are now gone. I feel like I am going to pay more to loss features I like. Maybe I will wait a few more years for my next phone. I used to buy a new phone every year, but since the 7 I feel like I would be giving up more than I gain. Maybe I am just getting old.
I'm just referring to today. Even if Apple made it exactly the same price in the UK, today it would be £903. It's not radically less than what they are actually charging, and the exchange rate or currency drop isn't down to Apple.
Their eyes will have to be open for that to work which I guess is a safeguard that some Apple engineers with secrets themselves came up with. Of course wifey could grab hubby's iPhone, place it quickly in front of his face and then run into a room where she can lock herself in or into a vehicle to check out the contents on his phone.
Put black electrical tape on either side of notch to cover that part of screen. If it bothers you that much.I'm assuming this is "beta", and something that will be corrected on launch. But this to me is a big No No.
I'm not impressed by having a cutout in your media. However, i'm pretty sure this is probably just a render / demo picture and i'm hoping on iOS11 final release that they'll take care of this properly
I've been out of the clubbing scene for two decades or more but if someone tried to put a sticker on my phone I'd put a poop emoji on their shoe.
Everyone wanted it 7 years ago!!! There are other options now from a distance, not to mention the hypocrisy of bashing it these last couple of years and being late to adopt the standard.
How lame are they that it took them SO long to adopt it, but had the courage to move forward with no 3mm jack!
Am I the only person that thinks its time to get rid of A) The carrier/antenna details on the mail screen (who cares from call to call) B) The actual battery icon... You either have enough juice or you can get a message/notification that battery is low.
that has been my complain about the notch since the first rumor, and i hope if they do black out the sides of the notch they also put a black bar on the bottom of the phone to keep the symmetry.I'm assuming this is "beta", and something that will be corrected on launch. But this to me is a big No No.

I don't like the notch but can see why it had to be there. Perhaps the iPhone XI or XII will find a way to put all the sensors behind the screen.
Same goes for the loss of Touch ID. I hope Apple work out a way to still include it under the display to complement Face ID.
Other than that, perfect.
