Is that the same advertising style as when you 'interview' moviegoers as they exit a movie for advertising. That's the marketing used when the movie is really, really, really bad.
Right, most video camera's can "see" a wider spectrum of light than the human eye. It's very common for videos of IR devices will be visible in the videos but not to your eyes. This is actually a handy tool at times, you can use your phone to "see" if IR devices are actually emitting light.
The X won't have visible, annoying blinking when scanning your face.
Parody post? If not, LOL.
Is this based on the 5.5M units sold in 5 HOURS in China alone? Reported by a Chinese Apple analyst who is not overly bullish on the company ($150 price target).
Is it based on all US supply being pushed to 5-6 weeks in <hour?
What are you iPhone X haters truly basing ANY of this wild speculation of poor sales upon? I mean, really. EVERY single article has been about the insane demand for the phone. Are you all speculating it's ALL because of poor supply?
And BTW...did Apple orchestrate these no name "YouTubers" to give positive reviews in 1 day after realizing sales were "not good" over the weekend? These are not even influential YouTube reviewers.
Just stop posting.
Yeah, it's all iterative at this point, even the X. And I don't say that as a bad thing because iPhone is a very mature product with a great user experience. But iOS is iOS, and a multitouch glass-slab smartphone is a multitouch glass-slab smartphone. It isn't going to be fundamentally different from what the iPhone has been for ten years, just a slightly better version of it.
In the video the engineer said he worked on Apple Pay. So Apple made him pay for his mistake.
Based on what? Seriously...your own wild speculation and ignoring all real world evidence?
If you are saying market strategy, new, old, modified, orange, purple, whatever doesn't have to correlate with trying to increase sales, no. Everything a company does is and effort to grow sales.
If you are saying a shift in market strategy doesn't necessarily result in increased sales, yes, that goes without saying. History is full of failed marketing strategies.
I've decided to stop responding to these people. They are literally just Apple haters and will post completely false information and present it as true despite the facts to confirm their false narrative.
To say the iPhone X has been anything but a success in its first 3 days of pre-ordering is just completely ignoring the facts (the few we actually know). Look how the stock has performed. The market CERTAINLY thinks it's been a success and we know the market is much smarter than some random guy on MacRumors.
The iPhone X might turn into a massive failure, but to call it that now is just being a hater. They are 5-6 weeks everywhere, sold 5.5M in china in 5 hours (reported in China), and is easily the most talked about gadget of 2017.

so what if it isn't? Do you own stock?Yup. I agree completely. Get ready to be attacked.
Heh I wish I had your restraint!
Why would it sell as well as any iPhone before it?
Its the most expensive phone ever so I would understand if it sold less.
Anyhow, haters gonna hate
i don't have time to watch all, what i wanted to know is has anybody in these videos complained about the 'notch' yet? Or what are their cons?
They've stopped releasing sales numbers because they are an indicator of supply, not demand. Sure, you can be cynical and say they should report every pre-order as a sale, but they can't because they can't report a sale until it's shipped since pre-orders can be cancelled.
Looking forward to listening to Andy talk about it on MacBreak weekly. An Android user who is a regular on an Apple themed posdcast. Also interested in listening to the folks on All About Android and DTNS talk about it too. Those are definitely my Go-To for early reviews, and will wait for some of the contributors of those podcasts to do their more detailed tests.
While she is a huge fan of anything Apple, Serenity Caldwell will be worth waiting for a review from. She is a fan, but can be brutally direct on occasion.
Love how these reviewers are all pushing 3d emojis in all the videos...........smh
Ha Ha, probably, but UPS "my choice" shows my X on its way for Friday. I buy what works for me, could care less what the bloggers have to say. I wanted the Plus phone features in the smaller form factor case, that was my buy trigger. Hopefully the face unlock and GUI workarounds for no home button will be smooth. What's great is that Apple has a good return policy so I get to use the phone long enough to keep or throw back. I had a plus, loved the features but returned, hoping for the best with the X.
