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

[Kavu33]

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.

I hope this wil be implemented with video and photo's .. i hate it when video and photo's drapes around the notch so a part of the image is not visible .. so this option above would be great for movies etc.

Why don't I love this thing?

It would have been amazing! You wouldn't even notice the notch at the top at all because it would blend in so well!
But now, with the screen going around it, it is always in your face

I think I was more excited for the 7 Plus. I really don't like that notch. Maybe in person it is less hideous? At the same time, I don't want an 8 with the same massive bezels I've had for the last 3 years. 4K60 is the only thing I am excited for, which is pretty sad.

Seeing the hands on videos that bar at the top looks sooooo ugly and annoying, literally anything it does bends around the bar! Rather then measly giving a border for it.
Hmm not a fan currently.

The Fanboyism here is garishly disturbing. The FACE ID failed in the demo and yet everyone is applauding it.

This will not be easy to use in the car while driving at all. Nobody is even mentioning that.

And exactly why are you looking at your phone while driving?

 

[DevNull0]

It's hard to overstate how beautiful this screen is - and that's not hyperbole brought on by extreme fatigue. It's deep, rich and smooth, and draws level with Samsung in the quality stakes easily. If the planned effect of the iPhone X was to wow with its display, it's certainly done that.

Wow. Matching the screen quality Samsung has offered for years is worth praise like that when Apple finally does it.

Talk about setting the bar low for Apple.

Yet he showed it off another 5 times without a hitch. Let's not focus on one tiny demo error

The notch doesn't really bothered me until they showed us when ur watching a movie in full screen, there no black bars and they embraced the notch even there which looks like cutting out video

...don't use it while driving.

So is your tone.

 

[iosuser]

All the leak even from a few months back were all true.

Sad to say but I think Samsung has nothing to worry about.

 

[chfilm]

What the "The Verge" guy brought up is also very disturbing about face id, that someone can just point the phone at you and it's already unlocked 😀

 

[Kwstas]

This awkwardness of the non-rectangular screen makes me feel uncomfortable. Bad design.

Last time it failed that badly, we were told we were holding it wrong.

 

[Jsameds]

Why don't I love this thing?

Because you’ve not used it yet.

Err maybe thats because you aren't meant to be touching a phone while you are driving

What you want and what you get are two different things. The notch is reality now and it's not the worst thing that could possibly happen to this iPhone. I understand it doesn't appease to everybody, but it does have its functionality to maximize the display. I personally don't think it really looks all that bad blended in with the black display

 

[MrGimper]

Shocking notch-gate

 

[sir1963nz]

$1320 in Canada for the 64GB version.

I'm stepping out of line.

$2000 in New Zealand, not a chance of me shelling out that kind of $$ for a phone.

Here is Apples problem, for what people like me use the phone for, Android is now good enough.

My iPhone SE should last me another 2-3 years and by them Android will be even better, and be more than good enough.

So, I am stepping off the treadmill .

 

[SuperHamster]

So it's slick, noticable and can be used to raise your social status (assuming that you only mingle with people who can't afford to shell out $1000 for a phone). Apart from this, does it really do anything useful that iPhone 8 can't (apart from purely incremental stuff like faster CPU and better camera)?

 

[Falhófnir]

Any word from any tech site there about pentile vs rgb screen?

 

[mariana888]

Still not tempted by iPhone "Notch" @ parity with USA $999 = UK £999 with exchange rate currently at £1.00 = $1.33
price should be £752.44p NOT £999.00

A grand for a phone, you've gotta be kidding.

In the US you have to add Tax whilst in the UK you already have VAT included in the price. Still pricier than I would have liked it to be, especially for the jump between 64-256, I would have gone for 128 which is enough for me...
I will bite the bullet and get it though. I like it too much.

 

[macduke]

I'm looking forward to what the iPhone 25 will look like in a few years now that we're madly skipping numbers.

 

[sergekills]

Did anyone got the X wallpaper?

I cried a little when FaceId failed during the demo

It didn't fail - it wasn't activated on the demo iPhone X.
