I did on my samsung. but charging was slower then plugging it in.Wireless charging is new to me and I'm curious to know if the phone can charge when it's sporting a case?
Me either..and I still rock an iPhone 6 Plus. I may keep it yet another year.
I'm in the same boat. Going with iPhone 8 almost exclusively to keep Touch ID rather than face id. I constantly unlock my phone on the sly in meetings. Touch ID is great at that. I can do it below the table, or while my phone rests on the table. Face ID seems to mean I either enter the passcode or have to hold the phone up. Net loss for me.Didn't expect to say this, but I'll probably go for the 8 plus. Bezels don't matter to me, Face ID and the OLED screen are first generation technologies that are bound to be buggy and since the 8 plus has the same CPU and RAM as the X, it'll outperform the X easily because of it's screen. And most apps, apart from the really big ones, are going to take forever to update to the new screen on the X anyway.
Yup. That's where I'm at.^Same. I can't say the X appeals to me much right now. I'd rather still have TouchID and get the6SSS8![]()
No, it still has the white front unfortunately.Does the gold have the black front, too ? Thank you
Not just the design. The price.I can't believe I am saying this, but I feel Xiaomi got this better (obviously I only mean the design, not tech specs and Hair ID)

I'm guessing the iPhone 9, during this transitionary period, and the iPhone X (2018 Edition).Wonder what they'll call the phones next year? The iPhone 9 and 11? But then the year after that the iPhone 9 couldn't be followed by an iPhone 10 because that's already out. Hmmm...
The glass blends into the sides of the phone incredibly well, better than we've seen on other phones.
So what happends when you drop an iPhone 8 or X?
If the glas on the back shatters, then it cannot be replaced like on the iPhone 4, I guess. So you need a new phone as they would have to dissamble it entirely otherwise.
Don't worry, people will soon ruin that by wrapping the front and back in some naff Chinese plastic they got off eBay or Amazon.
When Craig was doing the demo on stage and he turned it landscape on a video it looked awful with that cut out. No thanks. I prefer bezels. Otherwise I will constantly touch the screen with my fingers when holding it.So that iphone X always has a black shape that masks out a part of the image?
so watching a movie or pictures is not possible with 4 straight sides?
You’re exactly correct. Plus the X’s battery is at least one hour less than the 7+ and 8+.Didn't expect to say this, but I'll probably go for the 8 plus. Bezels don't matter to me, Face ID and the OLED screen are first generation technologies that are bound to be buggy and since the 8 plus has the same CPU and RAM as the X, it'll outperform the X easily because of it's screen. And most apps, apart from the really big ones, are going to take forever to update to the new screen on the X anyway.
Yep. The 8+ will be faster and have a better battery than the X too.I'm in the same boat. Going with iPhone 8 almost exclusively to keep Touch ID rather than face id. I constantly unlock my phone on the sly in meetings. Touch ID is great at that. I can do it below the table, or while my phone rests on the table. Face ID seems to mean I either enter the passcode or have to hold the phone up. Net loss for me.
The other features, including the lost bezels, don't do it for me.

Yup. That's where I'm at.
The 8 and 8+ will be faster than the X too. Plus the 8+ already is showing it’ll have one hour better battery than the X per Apples own spec sheet.Pretty much in the same boat as others. I've got the iPhone 6 so it's definitely time for an update...but given the fact that the X and the 8 have the same processor, and the fact that it's pretty much guaranteed that Face ID isn't going to be any faster - and may be slower and more unreliable - than Touch ID, I'll gladly go with the 8 to save $300.

Per Apple’s spec sheets the X will get one hour less than the 7+ and 8+. It’ll be more I. Real time. I’m getting the 8+. It’ll be completely optimized and perfected compared to the newer X which will be much better next iteration.I don't like the size of the plus, so the battery might be the biggest differentiator. Two extra hours for the X over the 8 is tempting. Though you can get a lot of portable external batteries for the extra $300.![]()
And 3D Touch!I want an iPhone SE update with latest processors and fast charging. Fast charging (not wireless charging) is about the only feature I care about.
The new phones, all of them, are too big/heavy -- the 8 is heavier than the 7 (which had tried to improve on the 6s)
5.22 vs 4.87 vs 5.04.
And 3D Touch!
Exactly. It’s a good upgrade even from a 7plus I’m coming from. Twice the storage, better processor, camera, Trutone, portrait, wireless charging etc etcI certainly don't mean this to be inflammatory, but I wonder if everyone would still be so bummed if they had called it 7s instead of 8? It seems as if its incredibly similar to what an "s" cycle refresh would be for any given model, and that is (historically) what this year would usually bring. I would certainly understand the negative sentiments if they hadn't also just unveiled the X, but low-and-behold we have a brand new, flagship device. So why all the outrage?
What will we get next year? 9? X.1? X2?
Has anyone seen any hands on video showing how responsive the iPhone 8 camera is? I am hoping it will at least match the Galaxy S8 (or even the S7), but I'm having doubt.. You don't know how sluggish the iPhone 7 camera is until you've tried the Galaxy![]()
