Yeah no Touch ID is what kills it for me. I love everything else about this phone so I'm hoping they figure out how to embed Touch ID under the screen for next year's upgrade.
Got a tip for us?

Sony already put the fingerprint scanner on the side of the phone and is working fine with them. There is no need to put it under the screen at all.
Apple just does not want to pay for using the patent thats all . because it is patented.
Initially, I was all for no-bezels and was convinced that I would get the new bezel-less phone regardless. Now, after unveiling, I am not so much convinced that I want one. I think I might stick around for another year with my 6S.
More like $1348 pus tax for the iPhone X. The 256GB model is $1149, and Apple increased the price of AppleCare+ for the iPhone X to $199. The price of AppleCare+ remains $129 for the iPhone 8, and $149 for the iPhone 8 Plus.
And yet you have to watch at it now. Before you could just put your finger on and get your navigator back. This is really stupid
Wished Steve was there to fire all of them. I'm so ***** done with Apple being so greedy, unreasanably priced for 0 inovations. It is against what people really was hoping and still they're trying to present it as the best. I just hate this fishy slimy attitude of theirs. I'll stick with my 6s for few more years I guess..
Because you haven't seen one in person? I'm in the same camp btw and thinking I'll need to get one in my hands. Leaning towards upgrading dw's 6 to the 8.
Full screen landscape looks like an idiot created the device. Best thing I can relate it to is your wife placing a tall plant in a decorative vase on your tv stand in front of your brand new TV. All you're going to want to do is throw the damned thing off to the side but can't.
It's odd that they dedicated the entire presentation to him yet blatantly quote him talking about skating to where the puck is going. They live so much in the past and I think that's because Tim is afraid of doing anything unique. Jobs saved the company from a bean counter that flooded the market with devices so incredibly similar to one another that consumers eventually became too confused with the product line. For the first time ever Apple has released a brand new iPhone with a design flaw that many are going to hate enough and buy the iPhone 8. They also introduced an Apple Watch with an equally as puzzling design flaw - a red digital crown button with literally zero real point. The previous Apple Watch Edition in Ceramic White was simple and elegant. I cannot imagine people buying a Ceramic version with a bright red blob on the side. But then again, most people are sheep.

This is what makes me mad. I have a 7+ I was planning on getting the x with at least 128 storage. Seems like Apple knows those people will spend 150$ more on top of a grand. I'm seriously considering a note for a year till things settle with this phone and 128 is standard.
Sounds like money hungry apple to me. I don't like that one bit.
Maybe contorting your face will help? Police will have to get a court order to get you to straighten your face
Thank you! What is with that red crown? God awfully tacky and distracting!Full screen landscape looks like an idiot created the device.

Oh, and beyond that- having that ever-present white "home button" line on the bottom of the screen is almost as distracting and annoying as the notch.
It's a rather big goof up on the stage though. He should have said... still asks for a passcode upon restart.
I think this is the reason Sony releases their phone in the US with the fingerprint sensor disabled
I didn't get you. The post was trying to say that the notch doesn't cut into movies. It does make a point.
That's the thing, tho. There was no error. The phone was prompting him to enter the passcode to enable Face ID, no different than when you have to enter it for Touch ID after restarting the phone. Apparently they had restarted the phone but not done the initial unlock. See for yourself:
