Irrelevant. I could claim anything I want online and there’s no way to verify it. And the lawsuits are meaningless - just money hungry lawyers all trying to be first-to-file hoping they’ll find a smoking gun later.
So if a court with a jury finds Apple guilty, you will ignore that and pass it off as ‘money hungry lawyers’?
Kinda pointless discussing anything with you when you defend Apple against anything in a manor like that. Perhaps I should see if your an investor because that’s the only real explanation anyon could be so utterly dfensive like you.
Perhaps I'm not presenting my question correctly but everything you've mentioned appears to answer the question "What improvements does the iPhone X offer over the iPhone 8" and not the "what are you able to do with the iPhone X that you can't do with the iPhone 8". Those are two very different questions and the responses I've received tend to address the former and not the latter.Yes, i prefer the dual lenses because i film my son playing flag football and it is VERY NICE to have the zoom lens that is stabilized for video. I cannot do that on your 6 or the 8. I can do that on the 8+ but the zoom video will be shaky because telephoto lens NEEDS OIS more than regular lens. (This coming from someone who had iPhone 7+)
Better viewing experience? X OLED supports TRUE HDR10/Dolby Vision; thus, movies viewed thru X display are FREAKING AWESOME. Your 6 is not even close...and cannot view such content. The 8/8+ does support HDR10/DV but it is watered-down and not true to what HDR10/DV can provide in terms of dynamic range and brightness.
The X OLED also supports 120Hz touch sensitivity...partly because it relies more on gestures but also helps with basically every time you touch the screen to interact with it.
Weather proof that important to you? Much cheaper to get a waterproof case. From what i hear, GS7 battery life is not that much better than GS6. YMMV
For me, the X camera has REAL-WORLD added capability not seen in your 6 or 8/8+. The X OLED again has REAL-WORLD added capability to better enjoy my movies.
(Oh, and the 4K 60Hz video recording is a game-changer in REAL WORLD. But 8/8+ can do this too.)
Yes, they do. They're not the people I am interested in hearing from. If you're in it just for the latest and greatest then say as much and be done with it. That's a perfectly acceptable reason. What I don't want is a bunch of sugar coating trying to obfuscate this reason.Visit any thread discussing the iPhone camera and posters will discuss ois. You may not hear about ois from your friends in casual conversation but the technology offers clear benefits to anyone using then camera on the X, whether or not they even know ois exists. Apple thought it important enough to include that hardware on both lenses on the x.
Some people like the latest and greatest in tech and others don’t care. It’s hard or near impossible to explain to a person who doesn’t care about the latest in consumer tech why that tech is beneficial.

Again I'd like to stress I am in no way questioning the specifications of the iPhone X nor anyone's decision to purchase one. I am very interested in knowing what the iPhone X allows someone to do that they couldn't do with the iPhone 8. What does TRUE HDR10/Dolby Vision really do for you? I am not wanting for a better movie viewing experience on my iPhone 6. The iPhone 6 has a great display, more than sufficient for movie watching.

For a few people the Porsche offers real advantages. For the vast majority of drivers it offers nothing over a Kia Spectra. If you're the person who benefits from a Porsche then by all means buy one. If you're the type of person who just wants a Porsche then by all means buy one. What I am not interested in is someone who doesn't benefit from a Porsche telling me why a Porsche is technically better than a Kia Spectra. That doesn't interest me unless they benefit from the Porsche. See the difference?You’re kinda dense, aren’t you? LOL. I like the car analogy used earlier by another user. So, a Porsche 911 TT is no better than a Kia Spectra...because Porsche really does not do anything “new”, right? And no reasonable person should ever get a Porsche 911 TT if they can afford it over a Spectra, right?
Like i said earlier, keep your 6 and rationalize away all logic. Your GS7 should be on its last leg by now with lag and stuttering. Good luck with that.

Likewise I never said people should avoid the iPhone X. That's your strawman.
That may be true. But if you are not taking advantages of those better qualities does it make sense to spend more for those technically better qualities?Well, a Porsche is technically better.
This post and the posts that follow...I’ve already listed a few things the iPhone X can do, the 8+ can’t. It’s up to you to do the cost/benefit analysis, and that analysis will not potentially be the same across all users. That’s not sugar coated. You don’t have to accept the camera takes better pictures, not worrying about dirty hands with touchid, better display qualities etc. but other customers may find those reasons entice them into buying the X.Perhaps I'm not presenting my question correctly but everything you've mentioned appears to answer the question "What improvements does the iPhone X offer over the iPhone 8" and not the "what are you able to do with the iPhone X that you can't do with the iPhone 8".

I'm no longer surprised or impressed by Apple's market share and revenues. Their gains were applaudable when they were a visionary underdog up against an industry of soulless Windows PCs. Now Apple has achieved a following that is so big that it doesn’t have to differentiate itself to sell product (at least in the USA). If the brand were to erode, it would take years before enough customers notice.
Apparently I'm not being clear in my question. I'm not asking "Is the iPhone X technically better than the iPhone 8". I'm asking "What do you do with the iPhone X that you cannot do with the iPhone 8". So far all I've received are responses addressing the former and nothing addressing the latter.This post and the posts that follow...I’ve already listed a few things the iPhone X can do, the 8+ can’t.

The questions you pose are exactly the same. A camera improvement on the X means you can’t take the same quality picture on the 8+.
It’s not relevant if someone doesn’t take advantage of the improvements, as you implied in the post above.
That may be true. But if you are not taking advantages of those better qualities does it make sense to spend more for those technically better qualities?
What you are attempting to do, as another posted has noted, is distill the essence of a smartphone to it's basics. On an iphone 6 and iphone x both can check Facebook. Make phone calls. Both have means of authentication. Both have mobile payment systems. Both take pictures. In fact all smartphones can do these. If that is your thought process all fine and dandy, however I look at, can a new phone make my life more efficient/easier?Apparently I'm not being clear in my question. I'm not asking "Is the iPhone X technically better than the iPhone 8". I'm asking "What do you do with the iPhone X that you cannot do with the iPhone 8".

Re camera quality: What issue were you having with previous smart phone cameras that were solved with the iPhone X? A response to the effect of "They're technically better" doesn't answer my question.
same. Was the perfect size for me+1 I'm dying for a "iPhone X Plus". I miss my old Plus size screen. Every time I see someone using a Plus in public I'm a bit jealous.

I never understood forum fanboys obsession with Apple's profits. It's not as if those profits belong to you.
That bias you are implying for shareholders does not mean the non-shareholders are bias free.Actually it does to some as a few who post on here are Apple share holders, so they actually have personal financial interests in defending Apple and it’s massive profits.
Same as the disingenuous market share headlines. Because market share is an indication of revenue. Right?another completely disingenuous headline from an apple fan boy
this COMPLETELY ignores these facts:
1. any time there's an apple launch of an iphone it's always big and the first idiots through the door are the fanboys who salivate to have anything apple puts out as soon as possible
2. but in time, the truth comes out: and what is left out of this article is that apple has MASSIVELY ramped down production of the X due to horribly low demand (you know... shortly after all the fan boys lapped up apple's latest offering).

I'm not saying that's bad for the entrepreneur. It's bad for my wallet. Obviously Apple is good at capitalism.Every business professor will tell a budding entrepreneur 'to charge for a product a price that the market will bear'. That is perfectly applicable here.
OJ was not guilty.So if a court with a jury finds Apple guilty, you will ignore that and pass it off as ‘money hungry lawyers’?

Well, with profits come support from developers, accessory makers, 3rd parties, and even car makers.
