With a S model you actually generally get more for your cash (and less stuff like bendgate), which is why it's smarter to have to your upgrade cycles land on them.
Got a tip for us?

Halfway through the presentation and I only see half droid walking through the stage, reading preloaded text with flat, punchable faces.
Where’s the excitement??!!

Damn this is so boring. 40 mins talking about iPhone but 30 mins is just about pointless gravy.

Lol, what a joke. Now they got a cheesy Chinese knock off name to go with the cheap knock off notch design, iPhone Maxipad. Hahaa.

Dragging it on. As a NON 2017 X owner, yeah the "Excess Max" sorry XS Max is appealing...somewhat.
New camera features...It doesn't sound anything new though, just a lot of fancy talk. To me, it's last years camera
Just get to the prices.

So far the only real upgrade seems to be 512GB. The camera doesn't seem like much of an upgrade, yet.
edit: I am glad I stated 'yet' - some of the HDR stuff looks interesting. 🙂

1.5 hour longer battery life, smaller bezels, 7nm cpu, faster faceID, 6.5 inch screen.
This is what the X should've been. Glad I skipped the beta test

Usually I upgrade and buy the S versions, ever since I bought the original iPhone. This must be the worst upgrade in the history of iPhones. I'm gonna skip this time and I'm sure glad I bought the X last year, because it was a complete re-design. Nice try Apple, please do better for next years models. For those who don't already have a X, it's a good investment though.
I sure hope the "louder/better" speaker thing doesn't become a trend. Can't be long until 10 year old kids on planes and restaurants play games and watch movies with the volume cranked up instead of wearing headphones.

That camera tech. Wow. Changing depth is literally amazing.

I take that back, POST adjustment to DOF. Interesting.
After editing Depth of field effect? Wasn't that possible with the Note 8 already?

This was possible back with the Nokia Carl Zeiss phone years ago with Live Bokeh mode. And on the Note 8 which was on Samsung 2 years ago. And a bunch of Chinese phones. Clearly information that didn't make it through the distortion field....

They keep stressing "Gold finish" Are there other colors?
Not a gold fan, give me the Space Black, Gray.
*edit-- never mind, I see it also comes in SG and Silver.

No killer new feature but new bigger screen is a welcome change
