It would if Galileo would have all their satellites in place. Which they wont for the next 10 years.

Maybe worldwide but I read that Galileo already has enough satellites in place to cover most of Europe at the moment. Should offer considerably improved tracking.
 
I'm going to run my 6 Plus one more year. If Apple doesn't come out with something more competitive in price with the Galaxy S8 by then I will probably switch to Android. I like iOS but there just isn't anything in the iPhone X that commands a $275 premium over a comparable S8 to me, and I'm not going to spend $75 more for a four-year-old design iPhone 8 Plus either.

Apple has priced me out of the market which is certainly their prerogative. I've got the feeling I'm not the only one, but it is going to take at least six months to find out for sure. We'll almost certainly see comparable quarter and year-over-year declines in unit sales when the September 30 results are announced. With the iPhone X only available for two months in the next quarter Tim can blame supply constraints for a comparable quarter decline then too. However, if they don't catch up by the March 31 quarter it will show that demand has fallen.

You give me the impression that just because you can't afford it or don't want to pay the premium, you're hoping it won't sale well.

It will sell like hotcakes despite its price. The design itself amazes. If the three year old, clearly old looking iPhone 7 sold millions like there was no tomorrow, the jaw-droping new design of the x will raise sales to the top like never before.
 
edit aaaaaand it's $1000. $1000 for a ****ing phone. What a joke.

If you really like to complain, move here. 1179e for 64GB, 1349e for 256GB. Should I buy a Macbook Air or a phone with a lock mechanism that works 1 out of 3 times? Let me think...

For US citizens complaining about $999 price.. Here in Sweden the iPhone 7+ was around 10 000 SEK at launch, which is roughly $1200. I'm expecting the X to cost AT LEAST $1500 here. Ain't gonna happen.

Not really, who ever setup the demo phones ****ed up. Just like TouchID, you need to enter your password once, before it will work. That demo phone did not have the initial password entered. The clearly said "To use FaceID, you must first enter your password.".

No, just no. There is a different message when you restart your device and when you fail to authenticate consequently. I cannot imagine they screwed the simple thing of not having both devices preauthenticated with faceid.
 
I think the iPhone X might be the ugliest thing Apple has ever designed. I can't believe they went with the top of the screen looking like that, it's absolutely dreadful.

Odd when I watched (supposedly live earlier today 1PM EST) the presentation I saw 1 failure then Craig went to backup.

He raised it, it didn't unlock, he looked confused, raised it again (this time swiping the screen) and it didn't unlock again. Then he put it down. Watch the stream again :)
 
Time to remember Steve => so time to sue Samsung
Those bastards stole inductive charging (and were so abject to do it in 2015 so nobody noticed...)
Thermo-nuclear war !!
 
I’ll have to see how Face ID holds up in the real world; the demonstration of it did not exactly leave me convinced. Maybe Touch ID just works too well and is too convenient that I don’t want to give it up.

Not that I plan to get an X anyway. No smaller version means no sale for me. Some people may love those huge phones (and I will so I do love the camera features) but personally I want to control my phone with 1 hand and I can’t do that with a 5.8” display. Hopefully they make a smaller model flagship phone in the future. Would be a shame to have only the 2nd tier even be an option if you don’t want a huge monster phone.
 
There appears to be no physical sim-card in it. I don't see that small hole that is used to pop it out with a pin. Hopefully Apple has implemented that e-sim into the Iphone X as well as the new Apple Watch.
 
someone mentioned the improved stereo sound on the 8,
but will it also be in the X?
the built is different :/
 
LMAO! 2 people just yesterday chose to ride me since I stated Craig and his team wasted time on Animated Emoji vs further improving iOS. Then when I rebutted using quick thought vs proper English they attacked me on that bs the actual content and topic. Pathetic cop-out to avoid the issue.

Sure nobody knows how much time was used to develop animated Emoji for exclusivity on iPhone X but seriously with all the advancement in the new phones the second presentation is on AniEmoji ?! Doesn't bode well for use of the technology and where it can go. I guess that's what developers are for. ;)

My argument: if programming time was equivalent - why not allow use to delete messages on AWatch to sync with iPhone and vs versa?! Why no ability to Delete All on iPhone and AW?!

Siri can talk on Watch - I get that since benefits for Accessibility but battery life suffers. Jeff is TGE smartest person at Apple according to Bloomberg. He's doing well no fluff and junk with his presentations.

Craig, I really pray Siri has leaps and bounds under your watch ⌚️. Pun intended.
Apple is a business. A very small percentage of their market is power users on a forum debating on why the S8 or IPX is better -- the large chunk of their consumer will be teens begging their parents to stand in line or call their carrier mercilessly to upgrade to an X the day it comes out -- this feature caters to that audience.

No bad word about Apple for some. Even if your comments are good arguments. Some people act like Apple is a religion, instead it's a well oiled machine taking lots of care for its shareholders and whenever there is an possibility to up the price they'll grab it. Not the Apple I loved and admired. Nowadays it's too profit driven. Lots of blah blah and poor on delivering... just my opinion before anyone starts to flame :cool:
