Agree with all that, and I will add that Apple's Customer Service is one of the best! That is another reason for me to stay in my Apple eco-system.
That too. Just the total package minus a few things here and there.
Got a tip for us?

I love my SE with flush camera. Non flush camera, while it works, is bad design IMO. Just like the notch. This is just my oppinion so don't get all upset if you don't agree.
Did I have problems with it? Not really. But it sure didn't add to the experience in a positive way...
The only positive thing I can say about this relative to the iPhone X is that at least release-date availability won't be constrained.
People here complaining about the (really small) bezels. You realize your glorious iPhone had HUGE bezels until like 2 months ago right? Now you've got a really cool notch.
I agree the fingerprint sensor next to the camera seems really dumb, but then again I liked the design of the Galaxy s7 better than s8. Button is handy and fingerprint sensor to boot. I still don't really like the iPhone X's fix for removing the button. It's seems a bit clunky.

If cars didn’t exist, a horse would look enticing.
I know Apple gets criticized for designs not changing frequently.
Maybe its just me, but these Galaxy phones have changed very little year over year. Honestly doesn’t feel like there’s been significant change for the past 3-4 years or so.
Though I do feel we’re at a point where there isn’t room for drastic change anyway.

Well, I’m not happy with the way Apple has treated its customers. The iPhone slow down had my iPhone 6s delaying keyboard inputs by up to a three-second delay. I had bought the 7, but I returned it within the 15-day-return window. I decided the 7 wasn’t different enough from my 128GB 6s. My 6s got so slow, I had to upgrade and decided on the X. I am so disappointed with this device.
It’s ugly to look at with an asymmetrical design due to the notch. It’s a pain to use FaceID about 25% of the time, and everyone except supermodels look stupid holding it up to their face for it to open. TouchID is just a dream. I have been screwed over by Apple trying to get the $29 battery replacement. Both of my MacBook Pros have keyboard problems (2016). Apple appears to have left the WiFi products behind which made all Apple products just work. AppleTV gives me HDCP problems since I switched to the 4K model, and I have bought every cable up to the $49 ones trying to get it to work. Let’s face it, Apple has been selling us bad products that are poorly designed and they are intentionally doing things to software to slow down our products and going so far as to we have to get new top case to replace a stuck command key???
What’s next? I have a Galaxy S8, using an iPhone X, but bought an iPhone 8 to replace it. So frustrated. So confused what has happened to Apple. It feels like a money grab with executives taking as much as they can out of the company before they retire. That is exactly what I see happening.
I am a longtime Apple and AAPL fan, and I am so disappointed by what I have seen in the last three years. My beloved Apple is no more. Thank God for competition, but what I really want isn’t out there. A group of young focused entrepreneurs, that are programmers to make some major discovery and create a new OS that works on any platform, then create hardware that just works, and support the end user like no other. People who have a “vision” like the late Steve Jobs.
Or, if only Apple would buy Tesla, and place Elon Musk at the head of the company would probably be the only way to right this ship. Sorry for saying it, but the current leadership has no focus on the customers. In fact, they’re all so focused on their own agendas, I’m surprised they put out the AirPods which in my opinion is the only Apple product worth buying at the moment.
Buyer beware...

Apart from falling out of the ugly tree and hitting every branch on the way down - it runs Android. Expensive brick.
All with yesterdays security technology. LOL, who pays for such crap?

That's same size as S8. I have one and it's smaller than the iPhone 8X and it's 5.5" screen.
That’s kinda like buying a fake Louis Vuitton and then bitching about how awful LV bags look. Though perhaps not the best metaphor given how gross LV is. Whatever.
Samsung can do facial recognition/iris scan without a stupid ugly notch. That's the main reason I returned my iPhone X after 1 day. I'll stick with my iPhone 7 and Galaxy S8 for now.
Black one will probably look real good. I still think that the current S8 design is much more elegant than the X
What i'm interested is in its new "Aperture changing" camera.

I don’t know what it is exactly, but the s9 looks... worse than the S8. I really loved last year’s design but something about this one just seems more dull.
I realize it’s just a render so hopefully it looks better in person.

I don't think they will. It seems like Apple is the most hated company on the face of the earth. I keep asking myself why?
It truly is so incredibly ugly. I’m always accused of some irrational brand loyalty for choosing an iphone, but by god these competing phones are hideous!
You think that is bad, you should see the new iPhone...it's got an uneven NOTCH at the top that really stands out!
Must admit when I first saw iPhone X I wasn’t sold on the ‘notch’.
Not being an Apple fan boy here but after a few months I hardly ever notice it to be honest.
It’s not for everyone and I can understand why some people aren’t mad on it.

Too much
I know, right???!!! It's crazy!!! Like those people that can't help themselves from buying anything and everything Apple...who does that?
They've also had AMOLED phones since 2012. At this point there is very little left they can do to improve on the design. Whats the point of faster phones these days anyways? Benchmark gloating rights?
lol.
'Cause that's the epitome of Elon - focusing on customers. Tell that to the half-million folks growing old and grey waiting for their 3 while their hero is selling hats and overgrown lighters.
Say what you want about Tim Cook, but at least he's a grown-up.
