This helped me to make a hard pass on this iPhone
The first Apple product I am avoiding due to terrible design decisions.
It will be just a matter of time 'till 3rd-party video-player-apps will offer what we so far wished for and later on apple will for sure include different options you'll then choose. When watching todays event with a friend we asked ourselves what will happen if you turn around the phone in horizontal mode and if videos are going to get 'cut' nearby the 'ears', a moment later they showed it and, well, a piece of the video is missing. So, don't worry, it's just a matter of time till we have video-apps and photo-apps displaying everything like the quoted example and we're all happy
I don't think that is the case when you are watching a show or movie. I think it depends on the app. I saw someone watching a movie and there is no notch cutout
On the first face unlock try it failed on stage for Craig - not worth it to me. I think I'll wait and let them get that fingerprint scanner integrated into the display on a future generation.
In the mean time pick up an 8 and enjoy saving a couple of hundred dollars...

So 1149€ for the 64GB and 1319€ for 256GB (that includes 19% VAT/TAX in Germany).
$999 for 64GB and $1149 for 256GB (sans TAX in the US).
Given the Euro is at $1.20 I expected somewhat more of a "price parity", i.e. €999 with tax and €1149 with tax.
Why do we pay €150 or €170 more in Germany than the US?
I just don't get it... What a rip off...
It's actually €999 resp. €1149 when buying it in Delaware and then importing it to Germany with all taxes and duties.
Seriously Apple?

As people have already stated, the phone was not authenticated by a passcode upon boot. It's the same thing when you restart your iPhone and it requires you to type in your password before you can use TouchID.
It hurts to say this, but I think Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 looks better than iPhone X. Both are far away from perfect at that.
You don't see the bezels while using your iPhone 6/6s/7 (with black front), but from the keynote it is painfully clear that X-notch is there, looking at you all the time...

Here I sit with my iPhone 5s wondering when Apple is going to get back to making phones I actually want to buy.
No headphone jack? No Touch ID?

I'm sad to Sir Jonathan Ive animating a pile of crap; literally.
Here are some numbers I worked out in another thread for people who are interested in 256GB versions of iPhone 8 and iPhone X on the iPhone Upgrade Program:
So yeah, when you consider the yearly cost increase, it's not as huge. Still pricey, but that's Apple. Was surprised to see AppleCare+ priced at $199 for the iPhone X, though. But it's a premium product and now it's all glass, so good luck everyone!

This is just terrible.
I guess it looks pretty nice. I'm not sure if I need to be putting Ultimate Warrior face paint on my pictures.
My phone has never had a home button and I've been swiping up for the last 4 years lol

Have we seen a picture of the X with Music open? Do we know it doesn't look like this?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.
If you watched carefully, it was Craig who messed up (not the product)
The first unit had just been powered on for the first time which always requires a passcode (as an extra layer of security). Touch ID and Face ID only come in to action on your second use of the phone.
The backup unit had previously been unlocked with a passcode hence Face ID was available and worked.
How did it fail? Look closer and you'll see it was simply in "enter passcode to unlock face id " mode. Touch ID would've performed the exact same way. That's how it's designed.
Someone just neglected to ensure the passcode was entered. Presenter "fail", but not device fail.
Apple are skinning us alive, even with VAT @20% thats £899
iPhone 6 was not parity with USA
£699 128GB UK
$849 128GB USA
on launch day Sept '14
I imagine Apple could easily add a software option to disable the notch, but that it doesn't show off the extra size as well so they've disabled it on the demo phone.
why is it so hard to find realworld pictures/videos of the spacegray iphone x?
even the video from apple only showed the white (oh sorry, they call it silver) one...

It doesn't appease to everybody? You mean nobody. I get it sometimes things are hard to implement right. But I feel like... and dare I say it. Steve would've pushed for this to be gone before releasing the phone. It's the kind of thing that makes a design go from beautiful and completely flawless to "geez dude, what the **** is this thing at the top/side blocking my images and video's".
I almost forgot, how does this effect game apps that have interactions with swiping on to the screen.. I am sorry but this is more than just an inconvenience.
No, FaceID did not fail. The phone had just booted or timed out and needed a passcode. Rather than fussing, he switched to a phone that was ready to go.
