The content is usually in the middle of the screen. Not in the far right corners or sides. When I watch my 70 inch tv. I don’t get in my recliner and aim it towards the corner of the tv. C’mon.
Got a tip for us?

Got it.
Just when thinking of the word courage trying a different phone isn’t the first scenario that comes to mind.
Takes more courage to hop in the car and drive on the freeway Imo.
If bezel less or getting as close to bezel less is the goal then the iPhone X is the only option for iOS.
haha nobody sane is going to buy that thing it just has bezels covered in pixels xD
crazy they actually stuck a logon on there, maybe because of some design error ?
When I watch my 70” I notice if there’s dirt or distortion anywhere regardless right?
But i guess people have different needs and or requirements for their media consumption.
Could be a dealbreaker for some. There are some very real, specific compromises you have to make with the x.

Ask whoever designed the iPhone X or iPhone X envagelists.
That being said I really considered buying a tv like this to remove the top and bottom black bars while watching movies which the X in theory would kind of do. Can’t deal with that notch though.
Ehh maybe Black Friday will have a good deal on one.
You can open the phone while its lying flat on a desk with face ID, I do it all the time. And yes, while lying in bed too, just not while keeping the phone way off to the side. It won't work with a bag on my head either -- so what?
hahaha so the iPhone x WILL be the best phone for watching "cinema wide" movie format, never even thought about it. You guy's watch theater movies on a phone ?
True. It is a generation one product so all the kinks are getting worked out by early adopters. Remember the iPhone 4 antenna issues? They resolved it and more with the 4S. While the X looks nice, I think the best play for me is to wait until next year when the phone is more polished and there are more size options available.
Nothing wrong with that also. I personally haven't experienced the issues people are describing. I suppose I've been extremely lucky with Apple devices (never had antenna issues either). Either way, the current design/software will only get better.
Wide screen movies on iPhones? Of course.
I cropped its a lot smaller on the x compared to the plus but even cropped the x has a notch on one side covering content.
These posts just emanate an overwhelming scent of narcissism and a general lack of respect for anyone else.
People have preferences. Some of us don't want an X because of its shortcomings, or because of the significantly smaller usable screen space, or because of the notch, or because of the issues that gen1 Apple products typically have, or because of etc etc.
Being all high-nosed about it and making it about money or about a "lack of ability to adapt to change" is a copout pile of garbage for an excuse and is completely missing the point. Honestly some of you fellas need to get over yourselves.
I’m in the same boat.
Never really experienced any of the battery issues or even bad beta install issues with Apple products.
Only issue I had was the video card issue with the 2011 macbook which Apple gutted and replaced for free like 5 years after(2016) after it even came out. Shoot I’ve even had cracked screens replaced for free without Apple care lol.
Apple FTW
Isn’t it great that people can buy the present now (7/8) and buy the future later? What’s the big deal?
I’m on a plane now, dozens of people are happy with their iPhones ranging from rom SE to 7/8. No reason for those people not to keep them for years.
haha interesting perspective, it's a bit odd to read the quotes all put together like that.
Vs Pro X answers which basically says:
1. You’re poor
2. You you should switch to an s8 or pixel
3. You don’t like new technology
4. You don’t like new things
I think it's more than that, more like:
3. monkey's don't understand new technology, I'm a human - just look at my phone.
4. monkey's have no style, you will never understand what we are talking about, we have style, just look at my phone!
5. poor people are unworthy, i'm a good person, just look at my phone, 256gb full of holiness!
6. Tim Cook is the one and only pope, buy his phone and get saved you poor dirty infidel
These guys aren’t wearing expensive clothes, must be because they can’t afford expensive clothes. Probably can’t afford an iPhone x either.
100% agree! The screen on the X is perfect and the size of the device is even better and now the plus or even the 8 looks old... and I own an 8 and an X. The bezels all around just look like such wasted space.
I would never buy a phone with FaceID, personally, but that’s just me. That’s why i’ll be sticking with my 7+ for as long as it lasts, and then searching out an updated SE (if they continue to make new versions of it).
If you actually read my post. I stated that you have choices for whatever device you like. I never mentioned money or class. You are mistaken. The future is the X. There is no going back. Enjoy chins and bezels now. All phone manufacturers will copy Apple.
I like this drama unfolding.
Notch and edge to edge design is the result of aesthetic over functionality. Looks cool but does not work well. Sad that user experience is no longer apple’s priority when designing a product. I am not buying a piece of art. I need it to be useable first, then it may look good or not. That is not that important.
Well, next year. We will see. I don’t think X+ will go well despite everything being upgraded. Oh, and the headphone jack dongle. And the useless wireless charging.

Well...
The 5.8”(not really 5.8”) screen and the “edge to edge”(not really edge to edge”) screen is cool but the notch is not cool.
Not really a dealbreaker either but also not a hands down better user experieince than the 8 plus eespecially considering they have almosty identical back cameras and internal hardware.
This is how today’s tech companies work. They want to bring people new stuff. They want refresh. They want changes. So they make it happen, for the sake of bringing new stuff, for the sake of refreshing, for the sake of changing. “Something is new does not necessarily mean it is better”. Those companies surely either forget it or don’t bother it at all. Aesthetic over functionality.
Well well. Your use case must be very common that everything is working perfectly fine, whereas for many other people, some “niche” cases they encounter everyday are enough to drive them away from shiny new tech. I understand.
However, do remember: never expect everyone using the product in the designed way. That’s why we have extreme test. That’s why we have hacking. That’s why we have complains about some unique scenarios.
Its so strange just how old fashioned they look now isn't it. Never thought it before using the X. Apple mind games
If iPhone ex has no notch, I might like it more. But it has. So aesthetic over functionality. I do like the gesture and Face ID concept (not the product cause first gen). Edge to edge is prone to touch screen error.
