The US price is missing tax though. So really with VAT added (not sure if theres any other levies applied to apple for importing) it should cost a little over 900 pounds.
Got a tip for us?

So you're saying you are one of those people that are putting all of our lives at risk?
If that's so I would expect they've abandoned TouchID for screen entirely. There's no way they're adding it to the X after touting how great FaceID is, and I doubt they're designing a lower-end screen-to-edge design with TouchID for screen.
I've thought this from when the Face ID rumors first hit the streets.
maybe I'll finally jump ship. the problem is I just don't like Android. And i have never been able to figure how to get my music off iTunes onto Android. Google Play Music and Amazon music doesn't work well at all. Sure it uploaded my music but it's all a mess (largely because iTunes destroyed it all in the first place).
It's available to buy today, just ask for Samsung Edge. Apple playing catch-up yet posters enthusing over it - tragic.
Why do tech companies have an aversion to the number 9? Microsoft did this too.
I know about 4 being an unlucky number in China but am not sure what's up with 9.
It does look a very nice phone despite my scepticism over FaceID (too passive compared to TouchID for my liking - can we at least have something like "shake your head = phone requires passcode"). We'll see how well it works - the fail in the keynote didn't bode well. I'll possibly be interested once the XI (or X 10.1? Pumaphone?) comes out next year if the pricing comes down a bit. I'd also like to see iOS 12 drop the "ears" and just have the notification area permanently black - it looks really daft with the cutout in the middle of videos and games.

thats cause you shouldnt be using your phone in the car while driving. all phones should be disabled as soon as you start your vehicle
Yes! Not only is an oled screen, but it's a brand new design that cuts off the top and bottom bezels and makes the screen have rounded borders, a lot of challenges have been overcomed in materializing this new design and that costs money especially for the first iteration. The great thing for people who don't deem it worth it is that they have cheaper and less innovative iPhones to buy from.
I find it fascinating that many (not all) of the people who were defending Apple for not offering a 128GB iPhone (because Apple was supposedly pushing people to iCloud) are now moaning that the entry level is "only" 64GB and that there is no 512GB option.
True, in white, it's as jarring as a giant thigh gap in tight white pants.
People seem to overwhelmingly think that the status sections should be black to match the sensor section.
So I'd sure like to know who at Apple likes the white. Heh. Probably whoever came up with the idea in the first place
If you are upgrading to a new phone from a 6 or a 7 perhaps, the choice isn't $0 vs. $1,000.00. I have a 6 plus, if I upgrade to the 8 plus, I'm looking at $800.00. So really the choice is $800 vs. $1,000 (so for $200 more I could potentially get the X). $200 is not a huge gap in my mind. So for people saying $1,000 for a phone is too much, that's sort of silly, as your choice isn't $0 vs. $1,000 its $700 or $800 vs. $1,000.
Again, everyone wanted it to look like this:
Instead we get a hindrance on screen ****ing come on.. this is your anniversary phone. It would've been flawless that way.
Although I agree, I'm not all that worried about it to be honest. In fact, the blacked out notch is present, as seen on the home app screen (see picture where the person it holding it). I blame Apple's insistence on a white UI throughout iOS. There really needs to be a black / dark mode UI now more than ever. It'll likely be an iterative thing.
Wouldn’t disabling the notch area (top bar) mean you’re not watching video at the native resolution of the screen? Would that impact battery life? Would it make app development more difficult? I don’t know, but I doubt Apple kept the notch just to piss people off.
