Apple Special Event @ 10 AM

[clangers23]

It's almost as if Apple has invented wireless charging.

 

[cpnotebook80]

one more thing finally.

 

[Starfyre]

OH NO A ONE MORE THING!!! SET PATH TECHNOLOGY FOR NEXT DECADE!?!?! AAHHHHH

Doe shtis mean no release cycles for another 10 years!?

 

[yegon]

Here we go.

 

[solo118]

YEAH BABY! IPHONE X

 

[cpnotebook80]

it looks like android or those LG ones

 

[Starfyre]

Bezels are way too thick.... screen should really extend to the edge of the display... this isn't real edge to edge. Dell InfinityDisplay and Samsung InfinityDisplay is real edge to edge.

 

[macgeek18]

Super Retina Display....Really? Come on with the names.

 

[blackberrycubed]

looks horrible with those bezels, bump, notch .....

Looks better than the 8!

 

[clangers23]

With those bezels it looks like the original iPhone.

 

[malikkamran]

Now 4K in 60 fps when can we get 10 hours battery life shooting 4k

 

[Starfyre]

Compared to Samsung Galaxy 8 Plus, I don't think it looks as good. At least compared to the advertisement...

FaceID is nice, but there are a lot of situations where TouchID wins - unlocking your phone in your pocket or on a night stand for example, or hesitating before authenticating an iTunes purchase. It will interesting to see whether TouchID returns next year when they crack the under-the-screen fingerprint sensor or whether it's gone for good.

 

[Starfyre]

What is Craig doing there? I thought he was a Mac guy! i like his presentation style though.. much more than Phils.

 

[blackberrycubed]

OMG face id failed ......

Looks like he’s showing you what a pain it’s going to be to unlock the iPhone X.

Same thoughts but im reading Face ID still requires a swipe up: doesn't open automatically on a glance. I'm still a bit unsure about this.

 

[kiranmk2]

OMG - videos don't scale to hide the notch! What happened to the quality control?

 

[Starfyre]

That bezel cutout is annoying. Craig needs to watch a video. Is the bezel going to obstruct one of the videos? Just like it does with photographs?

Ha the CNET feed just said this

That notch on the one side is going to be a little annoying when watching full screen video or playing games...

 

[kiranmk2]

There's also a bit of inconsistancy with the UI background colours - you've think the 'top strip' would always try to be black to hide the notch but the iMessage demo had a white top strip.

Oh - and looks like the screen shot of that game also looses a bit of the picture to the notch...

 

[Downhilltenago]

Yep 8 standard for me. Pretty easy decision at the end of the day... at least for me.

 

[blackberrycubed]

very very disappointed ....

 

[clangers23]

FaceID is going to be problematic, I suspect it's what the iPhone X will end up being remembered for.
