That is nothing. Check this picture of one of the Apple Stores in Hong Kong.

There were lines on both sides of the store and lots of people standing to see the excitement and some people asking to buy the phones at US $150 to US $200 higher.

That looks like chaos, it's not even a line just people crowded around the store.
 
I will return my iPhone X... I hate the sharp edges between the screen / back and the metal, and I also cannot comfortably reach the emoticon/keyboard button in the lower left side with my thumb (I use the phone with one hand). Also, the display changes color too much when viewing at slight angles for my taste, reminds me of 10 year old LCD displays unfortunately.

I owned every iPhone since the start, and this is the first one I will be returning. Disappointing :(

I think we get it from the other postings. Take it back and call it lesson learned.
 
I've only had it for 3 hours but I'm already impressed by it. So glad I waited for the X instead of buying the 8

I pre ordered my iPhone x from vodafone (Qatar). The pre order customer line was awesome. They had waiters serving pastries, hot drinks and juice.

When I was unboxing my iPhone I was shaking from excitement. I got the silver 64gb, and let me tell you the camera doesn't do it justice. The color is much prettier in person. The glass really gives it a nice finish.

The OLED display is absolutely gorgeous. Wish apple went OLED sooner. The colors have a nice balance.

Ive learned the swipe gestures already. Very easy to use.

Face ID exceeded my expectations. I was wary of it, but it is snappy and quick to unlock my phone.

Heres some pics of my phone and from launch party

I was so excited I didn’t even check. I checked my settings after installing a few apps and it said 56GB. So I’m guessing it’s around late 50s

Ok thanks! I may take the 64gb . I have a 128gb iphone 7+ right now and ive only used about 50gbs and thats with extra crap i could delete still on the phone. Maybe i should wait for the 256gb but im impatient lol
 
So that means when my current phone is on 11.1, I first have to setup the X as new, update it and then restore from iCloud?
Set up as new, update, reset (erase all contents and settings), then restore from backup. I had to do it on my 8 since I'm running the beta.

Although now that I think about it, there may be a prompt to update to the latest version when you try to restore from the backup. Don't really recall since it's different when you're on the beta train.

Looks like a few nuns buying iPhones!

Yeah unfortunately. When I picked mine up I couldn’t play with it on the way home in the car because it had to do the update to get through the setup process.
 
Just got mine and love it too. The screen isn’t as punchy as my S8, but over a great screen. Still messing around with it and restoring my old apps. FaceID isn’t perfect, but works most of the time. Just my 1-2 hours impression so far.
 
I have been playing around with my X and I also think it great. True tone looks so much better on compared to off. Whites are way too blue with it off. FaceID works great. Hasn't failed me yet. Several of my apps have not updated for the X, so that's a little disappointing. Audio through the speaks sounds great compared to my 7 Plus. No problem with airpods. Wireless charging works good. Just make sure you buy a Qi charge that says fast charging. I have 3 Samsung chargers. 2 of them say fast charge and they both work. The 3rd one does not say fast charge and it does not work.

I've got an S8 and up until late last night was never going to get an X. I've heard great things about it from colleagues at work - how are you finding the phone in general compared to the S8?
 
The screen is pretty awesome. Silly question, any short cut to get to home screen if on a different app page? Usually you press home button.
 
Hmmm so no “I” bug?

Anyways, anyone knows how to fix the i bug??? It’s so annoying

on my SE I turned off predictive text and that fixed it. On the X I set the device up as new and it hasnt had the issue.

I'm not missing TouchID anymore!

It's actually shocking when something just scans your face and you are in instead of waiting for the touchID prompt.
