It isn't the same. Just because the name is the same doesn't mean the color is.
The 5c had a black front panel with a white shell too
Think keeping these to two simple classic options is fitting for a phone celebrating the anniversary of the line and breathing new life into it at the same time.
Then buy an 8, or a reasonably priced 7. Nobody is guaranteed an affordable top of the line flagship phone.
Though I won't be buying it due to the price!

You trust your finger, with an error rating of 1 in 50,000 and that can be used when asleep, versus your face with eye contact, which only you control and has an error rating of 1 in a million...?
Ok.
I think the thing that shocked me the most, was I was really expecting Blush Gold to be a color. And now that they're only two iPhone colors, that's going to make a lot more limited at launch for two choices only. I think having multiple colors at least spreads it out more where others have options.
1300+ for iphone x 64gb and 1500+ for 256 cad thats almost the same price when i bought my imac 3 years ago... damn thats way too expensive.. an average not poor/rich guy like me cant buy that maybe just maybe when they release a new one next year & price go down..
Black and silver look like a really nice combination. Probably what I'll get (if the temptation is too much to resist).
And if your opinion were correct, I'm sure Apple would've adopted this easier solution.
Was thinking the same thing about the black phone. Silver is looking pretty sleek, pulling from that nostalgia of the 4.
As for something bundled together, I’d like to say yes but I doubt it. They don’t need to, the phone is already going to be the highest selling ever. Don’t need to give anything away for free if they don’t have to. Just hope the shipping times for the X aren’t crazy, especially since I’m on the Apple upgrade program.
For the life of me... I never understood Apple's reason for removing the original black color. The first few iPhones were only available in black. This is one of the most popular classic color. I don't understand the hype in "Space Grey" at all....
Anybody provide an opinion on this?

My guess is there were some late-in-the-game changes to help with iPhone X production. Dropping the gold color was one. Pushing back the launch date was another.
The tell is the iOS 11 GM. If Apple planned all along to release the iPhone X a month and a half from now, they would have left the hw-files out of the release. Put the software specific code in 11.0.1 which usually comes out a month or so after launch.

You haven't even tried it.

That 1 in a million happened live on stage. Not a good first impression at all.
And what I feel everyone is concerned about the face ID compared to Touch ID is that you no longer have to make physical contact with the phone to unlock it. So folks are worried that it's even easier than grabbing your hand or finger when asleep opposed to grabbing your phone point it at you and run off with it. My niece and nephew do that to me all the time. Just grab my phone when I'm using it out my hand and run away with it.
Yes, silver with a black face looks real good, that is what I'll get (still not 100% sure if I'll get it).
Didn’t happen on stage. Just like a phone with TouchID, you have to use the Passcode first, and then Touch ID on subsequent unlocks. Exact same thing happened here, nothing new.
Can't they at least let us see what do they look like?
I mean, more pictures of the phone itself at different angles?

Your niece and nephew do that all the time? Jeez, mine would be lucky to leave my presence alive trying that on my iPhone just once! Well okay, I exaggerate, but I'd be having a word or two with them and their parents.
Now random muggers would be a concern. But the face ID honestly didn't look that fast and easy to me. The mugger would have to hold the phone up and still a moment and meanwhile I sure as hell wouldn't be holding still. I'd probably disable Face ID using that triple tap trick that was reported here at least while I know I'll be out on foot out in the open for awhile.
not sure i like this color... would have prefered a deep black. guess i'm gonna go for the white one.
Those FINGERPRINTS
Silver for me.
(...if I so happen to actually get one for the 1548 EUR it costs with AppleCare and 256GB

Yup. No reason it won't come mid-cycle, a good way to bump demand when it traditionally tails off.
And a shout out lol to those who thought this year's gold would be the Zune brown.
