In case you're unaware, the upgrade to 2x storage pricing used to be $100, so no, it does not cost the same.
I tried staring at the money, same green tinted face. Wasn't as entertaining as staring at my phone screen.

Apple should just sell highest memory model period. Les sku numbers to keep track of.

I thought I could get over the side bezels, but finding it pretty hard to overlook that for an "all glass" front. I think Samsung did it better with the curved screen to give it a more beautiful "all glass" look.
 
I watched the whole keynote and as expected no surprises at all. The whole thing was a bit ....

However, the most irrating / annoying thing about the keynote was the 14 year old adolescent that Apple insist on putting on the front row, who shouts "wahooooo" at basically the turn if every slide!

Intrigued about LTE on the watch. I need to watch the keynote again, but I am sure he said great for short periods without a phone...which might imply the battery won't last very long if solely on LTE for period of time.
 
i think the iPhone X's price is the abomination, not the display notch. however, i will be buying 1 b/c i can. i guess that makes me part of the problem then when it comes to how Apple decides to price their stuff. they know people like me will buy it regardless of price

A lot more concerning is that if you have an identical twin (1 in 285 people according to statistics) FaceID is completely useless for you. No more Apple Pay for them I guess...
Not concerning to me. I don't have a twin. That's what Samsung phones are for.....twins.
 
That Face ID demo was absolutely magical

Maybe by the time it comes down to the cheaper products it will actually work
 
Ooh nice. Thanks for posting. Is there a video of this in action.
i was indeed happy myself hahahaha and yeah its in Dutch though, iv even finding any video i can see to see that OLED in action. Seems to be the general rule is , iPhone will 16:9 videos and photos on the X until you manually zoom it to take advantage of the full display.



PS> that OLED looks amazing !!! Way worth the wait
 
"Face ID, at least in the brief demos I got, worked one of two ways: amazingly fast, or not at all. It won't work if your phone's flat on a table, either—you'll have to pick up and look at your phone every time you want to unlock it. I suspect a lot of people will just go back to having numerical passcodes."

I wonder if part of the reason it doesn't ship until November is to get Face ID working better.

How can you tell oled video improvements by watching replay on iPad with LCD display? :confused:
 
I've upgraded with Apple every year. Yes, I'm one of "those" guys but I normally sell my old phone. I end up paying $100-200 out of pocket every year.

This year, I'm not sure if I am. Two things really got me with this announcement. First, the price point. Sorry, I would have to buy the 256gb model and that is way too much. I felt bad enough paying $949 for the 7+. Second, the delayed launch of the iphone X. I mean c'mon, why such a delay in applying technology that has been out for years?

The note 8 is looking mighty appealing right now. Especially since Best Buy is still offering $150 off for the pre-order.
 
You’re missing something, and that’s my point. I don’t care that There’s extra screen. I think it’s cool. But a full video that goes edge to edge is having portion cut out.

They need to add some sort of artificial limit to how wide to draw images and videos so that nothing gets cut off.
You know why there is a portion cut out from the screen? It's Joni's idea... it resembles the bite out of the Apple. :D
 
That's NOT Edge to Edge. It's just another Bezel to Bezel display. Even Samsung managed to take the display all the way to the sides on the Galaxy S8. And the wireless charging is not wireless, it sits on a pad with a wire, stop calling it that! Super disappointed in Apple this time around.
 
Glad so many people hate it. Should make it easier for me to get one, I hope. Although I doubt it, because the people on here typically whine and complain at an astonishingly higher rate than the general public.
Put them on ignore; makes the forums a much more pleasant place to visit.

Amazing how much time and effort some folks are willing to spend trying to spread their negativity. I like to think they're paid to dump on Apple, rather than think they believe it's the most productive or enjoyable use of their limited time on this earth.
 
Just saw landscape video on iPhone X. The notch is not seen as the video is reduced bothe left and right by black bar. So that puts the notch BS to rest.
