In my case it's more than worth it since I've not spent in an iPhone for many years. In getting the 256g X.
But my point was, modern software requires a lot of computing power, because even what may seem a simple messaging app from the surface it's actually doing much more than just processing text. It needs to handle a myriad of services it's integrated with in the background, all while running the ever growing iOS: the cameras, the sensors, the high definition screen, web cloud, third party apps, and so on. even emojis require some processing capabilities. All this is running at the same time, and each year new features are added and technoly is improved.
That is why we need more power every year because technology advances which requires more and more power. If you were to put the A11 processor in the iPhone 3G, it would make no sense and that would be unnecessary, but that's not the case of modern devices.
We need a macrumors negative forum. All those that want to could go their and gripe. Re-enforce each other's hatred or dislike for Apple. Let's see what could we name it? I know, Samsung forum.
Reality check... Samsung S8 still has bezels around the edge, they just designed it with a infinity display to make it less noticeable ( which is annoying as ****, always does things when i hold my phone ) no phone is "bezel-less" yet, come back in 10 years.
2, everyone prior to apple called it wireless charging. don't blame apple for purchasing the rights to the tech , blame the whole industry for its name.
Fronts are same black. Once you put case on it back won't be seen anyways.
What would be cool, is a clear back so you can see inside.

So your tv has same dots per inch and super HP display?
Considering it's the same "Wireless Charging" being advertised everywhere else, it'd be more confusing to try to call it "on deck charging" or some crud like that. But as long as we are picking nits, where does the wire have to end before it is Wireless Charging in your opinion? In the wall of your home? On your street? At the local power distribution node? Where?
You do realize that the phone in your picture and the phone in apple keynote is the same phone, right?
Verizon phones are unlocked. Verizon phone = world phone. The only difference between Verizon and 'Sim free 'would be the 'Sim free' IMEI being in Sprint's whitelist database.
wow I didn't think anklet that

thats some bulls**t right there
I'm disappointed that the X doesn't come with touchbar. Not a great day for touchbar developers...
I seriously drought your tv is 458 dots per inch. If it's just 21 inch then like 100 dots per inch. Fifty in tv less than 50 dot per inch.
But that's still wired to a power station that generates the power somewhere. See, a wire.
Ignoring the other problems like the horrific inefficiency of Tesla's wireless power distribution method, I think we are nitpicking on "wireless power" too much here. Having a charging pad isn't ideal, but I'll take ~60-70% efficient versus the 45% efficient of in-room power coils, or the even lower efficiencies of Tesla's long-range approach.
I think a 512GB version is possible next year if NAND supplies become less constrained (cheaper), either in the iPhone X or its successor. Surely by 2019 though, no?
Of course we are nitpicking. For some the charging pad will be a convenience. For others, like myself not worth the money to just plug it in. This is my favorite day, all the "Apple doomed, crowd is out in force."But that's still wired to a power station that generates the power somewhere. See, a wire.

I can't believe you misspelled the critical word in this saying!
I love how my jet black 7 Plus looks caseless. But the Apple leather case does two things I hate to give up. One, it allows setting phone down without camera bump causing it to rock. Two, the grip is so much better with the leather on edges. Glass is farirly scratch resistant. Better than the anodized aluminum.
