voice input is fine. but yes, many many people on the road cannot even deal with an on dash system.I imagine you think that Carplay should be banned in all 50 states then?

So let's see.
I secure my phone by limiting what can be done while locked (including Siri) because there's an ongoing series of information leaks.
I have to unlock my phone while driving to change directions or use siri to reply to a text message.
I hold my phone up to my face and look at it, then also swipe up from the bottom of the screen. While wearing gloves. in the winter.
I either get in an accident or get a ticket because it's no longer hands free.
Explain to me just why a home button is so bad?

Na , I think people will buy the 8 and 8 plus and ignore the X altogether. it is just not worth the price and we all love the home button .. Apple should have added a software home button option to the X that can be turned on/off from setting.
Good that it's going to take a month and a half for the Iphone X to come out, so I can buy my watch 3 this month!
With that I don't have to worry about having my iPhone in my hands to talk on the phone while driving cause its on my wrist! Can't wait for the X!
Going to be an expensive fall!

I'm not judging in real use. I'm judging in common sense. The phone requires you to look at it to unlock.
No other iPhone requires that. Common sense tells me that will be difficult to do while driving. You don't have to look at any other iPhone to unlock it and get Siri driving instructions. On this one you will have to.
That in and of itself is a serious limitation and/or danger of the device considering how people currently use their iPhones.
If you think that people should change rather than the device, well than only fanboyism can explain that, not common sense.
It's also warranty requirements in the EU and exchange rate volatility

Illegal to do while driving in most states actually.
A new IBM typewriter cost about $400 in 1950. That would be nearly $4,000 in today's money.
But my Royal DeLuxe manual typewriter still works. And will be the same mechanical device long after I am dead.
This device will have a life cycle of, what, two years before it is obsolete?

what about in the dark I use mine in the dark all the time will it unlock then? the goods part is when I cut my finger I can still unlock the phone with a bandaid on
Im sure there are people who thinking notch will ruin your movie experience, it won't, here's the video. Look 0.50 part, wonder woman playing
Come on man, it's not going to be that easy. First off you have to steadily look at the phone. Eyes can't be closed and your focus needs to be on the phone. Other than that, the thief would have to properly check if the phone is unlocked. If it failed, than the person who owns the phone can easily prevent a second try. This in comparison to fingerprints isn't that bad. The Verge likes stirring up drama/controversy over new tech for hits.
You're right, but I was trying to say it's not appropriate to say their phone costs $999. Their tax isn't that high either
But yeh I get what you mean, the US prices are still a lot cheaper than the UK's prices even after tax.
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.
Exactly what I was thinking of when I made my post in a different thread... shame.
Didn't say zero bezel, I said got rid of notches. The aforementioned imagery demonstrates this perfectly:
Ahh, so they got rid of the notch by hiding it in a bezel.
That’s obviously easy for them to do. But I think they wanted the look of the notch to give the iPhone a unique look in a sea of bezel-less phones. You can tell by the glyph that was floating around during the leaks/rumours.
You're confusing your opinion on how you think the status bar will work with facts.
Now that would be illegal in most states while driving I imagine. I would think that in most states you touching the iPhone to Touch ID unlock it might be legal and relatively safe. Anything you have to look at would clearly be distractive driving.
Yes, and even worse while driving.
Apple really doesn't understand how people use their devices in the real world. The beauty of the fingerprint reader is that it's a no-look unlock.
IMHO the ideal price point for X would be:
• $999 256GB
• $1149 512GB
Forget the 64GB altogether.
Interesting to see Apple now only offer the 7 and 7 Plus maxed out at 128GB - no more 256.
Maybe they need those 256 yields for the 8/X?

State these "facts" then. Or at the very least refute one of my points with an argument.
