Not so sure . The X price point and moving away from touchid is not for everyone . The iPhone 8 is a very nice unit

Just can't see people deciding to get a X over the 8 all the sudden.... it's £300 more..... that is a very large amount .

Face ID works better than touch. And that £300 is about £4 extra on your contract. People don’t look at the over all cost they see £65, £69, or £72 a month for example.
 
Apple did their calculations right.... no many people need a new phone. BUT there are the ones who really need it no matter what. So we can ask $1000 for the phone because they are going to buy it any way specially people with iPhone 5, 5s and such.

Like I said in another post I have the x And 7, it's not true that faceid is better than faceid in all cases.

Please show me a plan where is the same upfront cost and about £4 extra per months.

Sorry you’re not having the same experience I’m having. Nothing but pleasure .

Unlocking your phone while it's on the desk?

Dude, stop drinking the kool aid. At most you could say that FaceID works about 80-90% as good as touchID. FaceID is fine, but it definitely fails a LOT more than touchID. And it doesnt work in normal situations like lying sideways in bed, grabbing the phone off the nightstand, and trying to unlock it. 100% fail rate with faceID.

FaceID is a cool novelty, but is worse for actually real life usability. Coming from a guy who has had 3 iPhoneX's and now went for the superior in every way iPhone 8+.

Or probably YOU will have to stop buying iPhones as they will be too expensive for YOU.

It is not like a tax that you must pay or something that you’re obliged to buy.

This way of thinking is what should really stop in my opinion, same as with the iPhone X price point... you’re just becoming boring...

I've owned every generation of iPhone , top spec, don't worry about my ability to afford one ;) my desktop is a Mac Pro .... why not eh...

It's called a forum, about mac products , people have opinions , YOU are in the wrong place.
 
Ming-Chi Kuo greatly dropped the ball with multiple reports of “iPhone X production problems” that would render the device “unavailable until February”.

No longer a reliable source.

Was he ever a reliable source?

Back to having one model only. One Size, One Storage, One Price.

Back to Steve Jobs' Simplification. The reality is the pricing than options withholding people, 2nd-hand or older models are bringing transparency to the very fact.
Bring back the 17" MacBook, price it same as the smaller screen sizes, than look at the response. iPad Air & iPad Pro-Pra-Pre-Pru is illogical nonsense for profitary greed. In addition, just have one storage tier but of maximum capacity affordable by the technological limitations of the time, ex- the Classic iPod is classic for a reason.
Every iPhone under Jobs has had multiple storage options. Stop looking at his Apple tenure through rose tinted glasses
 
Demand for $1000 iPhone X will grow alongside with Trump fixing the economy. Who knows, maybe the black top notch does help with coal mining after all.

I think the opposite is true. I think most people going for a “new” model (not and older one) are going to pick between the standard 8 or the X. The 8 Plus feels like a tease compared to the X especially given the how close in price they are. Weather you buy one or the other, you’re already spending over $1K. Wouldn’t you want the best thing possible for that price? I sure would. The 8 looks like a deal in comparison to the other two.
@thisisnotmyname is commenting about the info in the article, not rendering an opinion regarding which one is a better buy. If the analyst are to be believed, the 8+ already outsells the 8, so the opposite isn't true.
Of course the product designed to upsell customers will be more popular. I bet with feature parity there would be a normal distribution across different models (if the only major difference were display size).
That logic doesn't hold up since the 8+ is reportedly the first + model to outsell the regular model. The + models for the 6, 6S, and 7 didn't outsell the regular models so the your theory doesn't hold.
