Apple Announces 5.8-inch 'iPhone X' With Super Retina OLED Edge-to-Edge Display

It's fantastic. Everything I wanted iPhone to be.

So what's so special about this thing that you can't do with an iPhone 6s or 8? Cool, it has a 5.8" screen. But it still runs iOS which means you can't do many useful things with it and it's treated and used in pretty much the same way as an iPhone 6s. A 2 year old device.

"Unless you have an identical twin" you see, TouchID doesn't care about that since even identical twins have different finger prints. So there's that. Now we're waiting for a price.

edit aaaaaand it's $1000. $1000 for a ****ing phone. What a joke.

I also call BS on their claim a face is more unique than a finger print, how often do hear I seen someone that looks just like you.

I have always thought finger prints are all different

Guys please tell me that the full screen video cut out is a joke! Content behind the top notch is simply not visible! Every video will be overlayed.... this is insane!!!!!!!!!

THIS!!!

Looks like LG came out with the edge to edge first, and Samsung came out with the facial recognition first in the S8.

Though not a surprise as Samsung and LG are making the displays for Apple.

The S8 only has 2D recognition that can be beaten by a photo. Did you even watch the keynote?

$1000. $1000 for a bloody smartphone that doesn't do anything better than a 6s.

That implementation looks beautiful! I hope they can mimic it later via software update sometime later on.

I don't care, I'm excited for it.

Nice phone although the camera bar notch is pretty ugly. The hyperbole was a bit much this time around, however. I don't see anything particularly revolutionary about iPhone X. It's a great phone and Face ID is compelling new tech, but defining the next decade of smart phone development? Really?

Everything announced today was a clear step forward, but I didn't find anything particularly revolutionary or exciting.

My 6 Plus just became even more valuable to me and my use cases.

Iphone X is a bit of a dissapointment really. Yes it has great technology, but its not going to revolutionize the smartphone. Its still a black monolith and the top notch is a bit annoying.

The name is awkward too, where is iphone 9? What will they do next? Iphone 9 in 2018, or iphone 11. Or iphone 9 and then iphone 10 but not X

they had to follow microsoft's lead and skip the 9, maybe it is a computer geek omen to use a 9

So how do you access control center if you swipe up to go home and swipe up and hold for multitasking? This is an interesting design.

Nevermind, swipe down from top.

Going to be confusing having different sets of gestures for the two phone lines.


Really stumped they didn't offer an iPhone X Plus. Maybe next year...

 

[gugy]

Maybe iPhone XI will get rid of the black notch.

 

[teflonthadon]

That status bar/camera notch area. Ugh

same here .. definitely not a fan of the notch.. i would've prefered a longer devices the keep the screen flat accross ..IMO

aaaaaand it's $1000. $1000 for a ****ing phone. What a joke.

Think of it as a tax. Wealth distribution to Apple shareholders.

 

[mox358]

Really underwhelmed by iPhone X... all the tech is cool individually but it doesn't gel. It's a lot of compromises. Almost like a handful of tech demos duck taped together into a phone.

Here's hoping for 11 they sort it out.

 

[GabrielMoro]

Fail ID made me cringe. Uh oh...

 

[bmunge]

iPhone X looks great. Of course MR forum users **** all over it like they do for every single Apple device ever.

 

[JackANSI]

What an amazing amount of "Meh" for Apple.

Wow, that's actually really nice.

 

[Gudi]

I think we can all agree on one thing.
The biggest innovation of iPhone X is to combine a black front with a white back.

 

[CashDude]

We would have had this phone 3 or 4 years ago if Steve Jobs was still alive.

I also call BS on their claim a face is more unique than a finger print, how often do hear I seen someone that looks just like you.

I have always thought finger prints are all different

It isn't about being unique, its about how well the sensor can differentiate fingerprints. Everyone is unique but the differences can be THAT subtle.

 

[TH3D4RKKN1GH7]

Have to hold out for ProMotion. It's got to be coming at some point, right?

 

[Wild-Bill]

Yawn......

Glad to see Apple has their priorities straight. Focusing their time and attention on face gesture-activated emojis was obviously a prudent use of their resources, much like the emoji touchbar on the MacBook Pros no one asked for...

Apple's innovation as of late reminds me more and more of a poop emoji.
