The 256GB version will cost 1,349.-€ over here in Germany. Wait a minute... for an effin' phone? o_O

No matter how "innovative" that thing is. This is way too much.

The problem is, that smart phones asa product are mature. Nobody needs the bells and whistles they are still adding with every iteration. Animated emoticons? Yeah, that makes it really worth the money! ;) And FaceID... don't need it. I'll be happy with my TouchID for a very long time.

No, thank you! I'll pass.

wait - but what about the STRIKING display and SENSATIONAL design??
 
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

Yeah, I noticed that too and it's concerning. A movie was demonstrated in the Tech Radar review that added black bars on either side (and on the top and bottom, but that won't always be the case) which of course means you really don't have a 5.8 inch screen when watching video. You'll effectively have the screen real estate of a iPhone 8 plus in that mode. I'm sure there will be an option to fill the screen and deal with the cutout or use the black bars -- neither of which is ideal.

I think it's a bit deceptive for Apple to claim this iPhone has a 5.8 display as they are including the cutout in that measurement.

Nope, you'll effectively have 4.96".

I could go on a rant for a few pages, about the fact that nothing on the iPhone 'X' is something we haven't seen elsewhere - and for some time may I add! but the one major thing that will stop me getting one, is that £999 price tag, there is NO WAY I'm paying that for a phone, no WAY, the only time I'm going towards or past that £1000 number for a phone is when something hits the market with seriously innovative features, like maybe the Red Hydrogen phone???

Thanks Apple - but I think I will sit this one out...
 
personally, except for the oled and a slight display improvment and some dumb animojis and a vertical camera what the **** is the big uproar about the X. Some of you sound like you like the X better that sex! freaks
 



Apple just officially announced the iPhone X, its all-new, drastically redesigned, tenth anniversary iPhone. Right after the keynote where it debuted, reporters were treated to the hands-on demo room within the Steve Jobs Theater where they got to be among the first people in the world to hold an iPhone X. Below we'll round up some of the first impressions on the device, which many publications are describing as "beautiful," "striking," and a "sensational-looking" iPhone.

SlashGear called the iPhone X "familiar, and yet so very different," alluding to the aluminum casing of the new iPhone that matches the original iPhone's design, while also commenting on the "striking" OLED display. While other smartphones have had OLED screens, SlashGear said the iPhone X "takes it to another level," with text and graphics that look "embedded into the toughened glass" of the display.

Although the top "notch" of the screen looked intrusive in viewing some photos and videos, the site largely said that it shouldn't get in the way much elsewhere.
The Verge said that the "star of the show" for the iPhone X is its 5.8-inch OLED screen, which goes to great lengths in proving that an iPhone without a Home Button can actually work. Furthermore, the site said Face ID "actually works," with a nearby Apple demo assistant repeatedly showing off the biometric security feature, which "worked every time" even under the bright and erratic conditions of the demo area.


The Verge continued by noting a few of the iPhone X's control gestures will likely take some time to get used to, including swiping up to go home, but over time the site predicted it'll become just as natural as current UI controls on iOS 10. Like many sites, The Verge noted the $999 price tag for the starting model of the iPhone X, but said that for most users it'll feel "worth it."
TechRadar called the iPhone X "easily, easily the best-looking phone Apple's ever made," with rear glass that feels "solid and secure" in the hand and the rounded edges and light form factor make it "pleasant to hold," although fingerprints will be a problem. Despite being slightly smaller than an iPhone 7 Plus, TechRadar noted that some iPhone X gestures will still require two hands, and pointed out that "you can't reach the top right-hand corner as easily" for bringing up the new control center.

Unlike The Verge's experience, TechRadar described a questionable demo experience with Face ID, where the demo worker had to keep turning the display off and on to active the facial recognition system. Still, it noted that daily testing will be required to truly see the potential of Face ID -- as well as all of the iPhone X's new features -- and came away largely impressed by the smartphone, particularly the display.
According to iMore's Rene Ritchie, the Face ID feature in the iPhone X will store just one face at a time, so only one person will be able to unlock a given device. To switch faces, the Face ID feature will need to be reset.

The iPhone X will officially be up for pre-order on October 27, and then go on sale November 3, starting at $999 for the 64GB version and rising to $1,149 for the 256GB version. Apple revealed the iPhone X earlier today, alongside the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, Apple Watch Series 3, and Apple TV 4K.

iPhone X is indeed the best iPhone in the iPhone history. The presentation was indeed accurate. Kudos to Apple

If that weren't true, it would be a major screw up on the part of Apple. Every iPhone so far has been the best iPhone in the iPhone history.

That's true of most consumer products. The ones it's not true of don't stick around long.

I'm not sure what your point is.

Would everyone think I was mad if I said - I prefer BEZELS?
