I don t see a need to spend $1000 for a new phone from my iphone 6 to be honest. I guess I ll wait until I break mine or something really worth upgrading for comes in
Got a tip for us?

iPhone X Impressions: 'Striking' Display and 'Sensational-Looking' Design Make High Price Worth It

It didn't. They forgot to do the first unlock after reboot, which always require a passcode. Maybe device crashed and rebooted while it was waiting to be presented. It's an alpha.
I am concerned about Face ID mostly because Touch ID worked flawlessly. Why change it? Who asked for it? I can unlock my 6S WHILE lifting it up in order to use it. With the X, it's lift, then look, then swipe, then use. This is terrible.
Well, you can sort of resist it by keeping your eyes closed or looking away. Touch ID, on the other hand, was loved by law enforcement.
I think we all agree.
But they had no choice, it was either touchID and huge bezels or come up with a work around ie FaceID.
TechRadar is saying it failed a lot for them as well. Not a good first day.
Does have a feel of a solution to a problem that didn't exist. TouchID is so seamless, I find myself unlocking the phone as I pick it up in one single movement before I've even looked at it. Now I'll have to look at it, wait for it to unlock and then swipe upwards. Watching the first hands on videos there's a very slight but noticeable delay. Equally removing the home button adds a more complex interaction that for many might not even comfortable single handed.
I wonder if the iPhone X FaceID is actually the equivalent of the first generation of hit and miss fingerprint recognition?
We can pretty much guarantee that touchID will be the big selling point of the iPhone Xs.
Definitely will want to try before I buy with this one.

Laughing at "resist it"
have you been around cops ? there is no resist once you are in their hands.
Ummm, No one is mentioning it because it should be a non issue. When you're driving don't use your phone.
I'm disturbed by people speaking of looking at their phone while driving. FaceID isn't needed to see who is calling you on your phone. A phone doesn't have to be unlocked in order to be answered (hopefully with a Bluetooth device or built-in Bluetooth in the car).
No small dent in the Universe Tim, you just get a notch on a screen.
**** the notch. Ruins the entire phone.
Glad some android users will have access to the 400 gb sandisk microsd cards soon. Fail for Apple......
eek AUD$1,829.00... i might be waiting until iPhone 10X and then just get the last year phone at this point, my iPad Pro 10.5 cost less, i think i could buy a Macbook at that price.
I love to buy it but can't justify it at all.....

I'm on the same boat as you, the price difference between 7Plus-128 and 8Plus-64 is only $30 dlls, I really don't need more than 64gb, basically I will update to the iPhone 8 Plus 64, keep it a year and hope for something different next year, it not, just keep the 8 for 2 years and wait for the iPhone 9 or iPhone XI
I'm amazed that nothing has been done with that. That the notch is just there obscuring video content. Its cliche but the irony of them putting that out right after paying tribute to Jobs. Imagine Jobs allowing that to ship.
I'll reserve judgment until the release. They have two months to address bugs, improve the experience, and speed up the performance.
There is no way to force a person to open his eyes and look at the phone if he doesn't want to without resorting to good old torture. You can't just forcefully turn someone's eyeballs to the sensor like you can do with his finger. In that sense, Face ID > Touch ID.
What video is that? I am really curious what playing videos will look like on X
This helped me to make a hard pass on this iPhone
The first Apple product I am avoiding due to terrible design decisions.
This would be the third one for me after new MacBooks and iPhone 7. Both times the newer models were less capable than the ones I owned. It seems that bean counters are back at making final design calls again. I'm stepping off the treadmill too.
You are so spot on I wish I could give you more thumb ups. You are someone that gets it.
