Yes, it's subjective, but the noise is not. The Pixel 2 also has some jarring while taking video. It doesn't end up in the final video, but the lag is a bit annoying. I will say that the software video stabilization is definitely better than the X. And as far as that "blur" effect ... Google wins with their algorithms. I think the Pixel 3 is really going to shine in the camera department if they keep going the way they are. Hopefully the Pixel 3 has 4K 60 FPS. I honestly really like the Pixel 2 and it's the first Android phone I've truly enjoyed using.

Apple CEO Tim Cook: iPhone X Has Been the Top Selling iPhone Every Week Since it Shipped

The X is a failure only selling 25M units! Do the math - using rounded numbers to make calculations easier:
25M units at $1000 each is $25B!!
Profit at 40% say: $10B pa
Are you seriously telling me a business is going to pull a product generating $10B profit pa!!!!

And consumers were not asking for a music player with a hard disk inside, a smartphone with a non-mechanical keyboard, an iPhone with TouchID, or AirPods for that matter. Yet Apple developed them.
Everybody's different, and photography/videography is very much subjective, but the majority would give the edge to the Pixel 2 on still image photography. Google has done a phenomenal job with software image processing. As for the other things, they are very well documented around this forum and other sites. If you have case, sure, your phone probably won't have those problems. If you don't have a case and still don't experience those things, than you're lucky.
From this comparison https://www.cnet.com/news/iphone-x-vs-pixel-2-which-camera-is-better/
the Pixel 2 still pictures in some scenarios were "better" than the X. However, like anything both these phones have wonderful cameras, its darn close and varies depending on the shot.
Because they always do after the Christmas quarter?
Additionally there are rumors that they won't carry last year's iPhone at a lower price like they usually do. They will most likely want to sell you a brand new X (2) for full price rather than X at a discount.
That is correct. I was really pumping the unit sales this quarter. I got a little too bullish. I knew the 13 week quarter would be a hard compare, but I really expected them to do over 80M iPhones easily.
I will trade 3m unit sales for an $800 ASP though. In analyzing the quarter more, I am very happy as an investor.
Fair enough. The only difference is three of those were new product categories for Apple that people didn't have ten years of experience comfortably using, and Touch ID did not bring a higher price tag.
It’s definitely better in some situations. There’s pros and cons for both. When the Pixel gets 4K 60 FPS video it’s going to be pretty awesome. Hopefully the Pixel 3 has a 256 GB option.
Well he did say "iPhone X surpassed our expectations" so that at least implies it did well versus expectations. I mean overall sales contracted only by 1 million units Year on Year even with three models for sale compared to the usual two and the iPhone X was available for a shorter period of time than the other two.
This is spin. The expectations were high on their last earnings call. The number of iPhones sold from last year dropped; they did not expect this 3 months ago. Apple could have revised their 'expectations' within the last 72 hours and would not be wrong by saying "it did well versus expectations."
I thought the same thing at first thanks to fake news headlines but a week less in the quarter this year. Phones sold per week actually went up.
You think Apple's CEO is lying about which device is most popular on an earnings call?
There's no fix for that kind of paranoia.
Yeah and they still beat their guidance by $1.3 billion on the high-end and $4.3 billion on the low end.
Really? This year's quarter had one less week than last year's. They had three "flagship" phones on sale this year's quarter compared to last year's. And the most expensive of those three phones was on sale for a fairly more limited time.
Except they started and ended on the same days, with reports 1 day within each other (if that counts as as week to some news outlets?) according to Apple.

Yeah, and Reuters News Service happily rubber stamped these conclusions without ever considering that the Nikkei article was written by "Staff Writers" and based on info from "Anonymous Sources".
"Without A Doubt" - that was the catch phrase for 2017. What a world!

You are good at pulling up a calendar link (that I did not bother to look at).
I hope you were equally good at scoring some AAPL shares or call options for cheap
Yeah, this quarter had one less week - Tim Cook told us that - you are fact checking on that?
Oh they can often be synonymous. A lot of doubters are also haters. Not all of course.

Serious question: Do you think discrepancies between quarters wasn't factored in when Apple and Wall Street came up with their expectations?
Of course ASP is up, they're selling a $1,000 phone.
Whatever - if you want to stir up some meaning from all this, look in the mirror and your stock portfolio and decide if you made the right assessment.
