Goodbye Apple, after 9 Years of Loyalty

Dual camera is a huge improvement over crop to zoom.

What I don't get about your comments is that you say the pixel has a 6" display unlike the fake 5.8" on the X. You do realize that the Pixel 2 XL is going to have an 18:9 screen which means it is a tall skinny 6" phone just like the 5.8" X right?

As to the quality of the screen I am quite confident that once panels are here for testing the iPhone panel will most likely be considered one of the best.

[doublepost=1507069527][/doublepost]I think everyone won't even notice the notch after a week or so they'll have notch blindness as I've heard it called. I'm still very satisfied with Apple for the most part. They added a feature to Apple music that I've wanted where you can follow your friends music. I recently moved from the the 7 plus to the 8 plus because my plan allows it. And I plan to get the iphone X as soon as its released. I have never had a problem with Apple's retina displays. i don't really watch stuff on my phone for long periods. I do that on my 10.5 ipad pro which has an amazing screen and IOS 11 just made that device all that much better with drag and drop and the new dock I can keep a my most used apps without having to leave where I am. Apple still has my support. but I would never try and convince someone to like a brand or product because I love it. I don't even understand the rivalries people that aren't a part of the company anyway?

Loyalty is to your family, partner or country - it certainly shouldn't be invoked in allegiance to a business organisation.

Just picked up an iPhone 8 for the wife and even though the phone might “look dated” I still can appriciate its build quality and I think it’s well worth its money.

I have never used a phone with the finger print reader on the back but I can only imagine how cumbersome it must be to always pick up the phone just to unlock it.

I’m glad Apple went with a more conventional design.

It will be interesting to see how well FaceID will work.

I always pick up my iPhone when I unlock it and I only have 6S Plus.

Another paid writer to trash Apple. The same **** Samsung did to trash HTC to gain more market... but I’m sorry, no one is going to switch over to your paid sponsor with your garbage.

Anyone bothered by the curved screens on the galaxy devices?
I’m thinking that might be difficult to get use to.

It shows Samsung releases things too quickly to market that half assed work. A direct example. They rushed their face recognition into the s8 and Note 8 just to say “look we did it first” (because since even iPhone 7 rumours there was already talk of a 3D sensing camera for the 2017 iPhone) Samsung’s “version” can be fooled by a photo. It’s a cheap and sloppy implementation.

Actually it was in the Note 7 which blew up. Half assed? The Note Fan edition is basically a recycled note 7 and hasn't exploded. Seriously if the same exact thing happened with the iPhone you wouldn't say Apple rushed it but it was an fluke. Double standards right there. Plus you realize how stupid you sound? A picture? You realize unless you're a celebrity I doubt anybody is going to find pictures of you unless they know your name and what city you live in and etc and find you on Facebook or Instagram or etc.

I hope you find what you’re looking for but it’s the same in the mobile market. Everything is topping out spec wise except Apple who has actually surpassed the Samsung phones in CPU speed. Find what works for you. I know how you feel and I felt similar with the ppc to x86 change (which looks like arm will be the next change).
Feel free to come back often

They have topped them for a while now. I could probably bet the snapdragon 845 ( I think that is what it's being called) or whatever the new one will be called will be faster. The 835 is a year old. Even if the 845 doesn't out spec the A11 it's fast enough for the demand now anyways. Diminishing returns has been in effect for a while now imho.

Obviously Apple employees because only 1 face can be registered. There there are a couple videos of people who were allowed to add their face in. Who the persons face is completely irrelevant though.

In comparison it is.

No its not.

Also note idc about the notch but the iPhone forehead is huge not the s8
 
iSayBoourns said:
Yes, but I’m quite positive Apple has done enough testing of it to be confident enough to bring it to market and completely replace TouchID with it.

People were just as skeptic of TouchID when it was announced and here we are some years later, people are worried of it’s removal. I guess that didn’t quite fail did it?

Blah blah blah Apple rules the world is what I see here. Unless we see the mass use it you don't know anything.

Ummm no where in the quote you quoted was I even remotely talking about exploding batteries or the Note 7. So, who are you talking to?

How stupid I sound? It’s the principle of it. Their implementation of face recognition is weak and can very easily be fooled. It lacks all security. It doesn’t matter if “you’re a public figure making you a high target” or not. A PHOTO CAN FOOL IT. It’s you that sounds stupid, if you think that’s even remotely good. I bet you’d be ok if a car company sold you a car with seatbelts made of paper.

Trash HTC? They kind of shot the self in the foot. Samsung and Apple are huge companies and can spend the money to advertise the crap out of their products. Here's the ads that I see for phones. Samsung S8 and plus along with the note 8. The iPhone 8 and 8 plus and the X. And I've seen ads for the Google pixel when it first came out. Rarely have I seen ads for LG and Motorola.



Even when HTC was bigger I would probably say for every 4 Samsung ads there was 1 HTC ad. For every 6 Apple iPhone ads was one HTC ad.

Lmao you're now comparing an Apple to a Soda can not even an orange. In practice nobody is going to be stealing your face online to open your phone. Guess what you're sibling and twin could also unlock your iPhone based off rumors so should we be worried about that? Please you don't need to sell me an iPhone because I'm already ready to be up at 3 am to pre order an iPhone x. I like the face Id and hope it does work but I'm not going to go into this fully expecting it will be all happy and crap just because Apple makes it. I will judge the final product not what Apple promises me what will work. I'm no Apple Shill or fanboy and will wait until it's out to see if I like it.

So I’m not allowed to have an opinion? I’m not allowed to have faith that it will work as intended? You need serious help and perhaps some pills.

Lol opinion? And faith? You are just eating what Apple feeds you as gospel . You got it wrong if you think I want or hope Apple fails. I'm just not eating their crap they are trying to sell as the best thing ever until I see it myself.


I'm buying an iPhone x as well. Just not an Apple fanboy and like Android as well.

Let's see how Google's Pixel 2 fares tomorrow and see if it's good enough to eat compared to Apple's.

I am not just “easting what they feeds me”. I can make my own mind up thanks. I can make blind statements about you too. There’s no denying you’re a paid Samsung shill only to scour apple related forums, picking fights and ignoring anything said.
 
Could care less about Face ID at this point.
I’d possibly like the iris scanner or the good ole pin will work or print.
I’m more worried about screen burn if that happens.

A Samsung shill? I have a Macbook Pro and an iPad and even a 7 plus laying around still. Hell I'm going to buy an iPhone x. I'm just no Apple shill. Hell I even think the 8 plus camera is better than the note 8.

It won't Tbh. I've had plenty of AMOLED devices and never had any issues.

S2
S3
S4
note 3
Note 4
Note 8
pixel XL
Nexus 6
Apple watch series 2


If the Apple watch series 2 which probably has a static screen more then a phone I doubt the x will have any issues.
