It does look great though. You can tell the things are beginning to pick up steam, as recent buyers of the iPhone 8 Plus are beginning to lash out. Probably due to their own buyers remorse.

That screen looks good and that’s just looking at it by watching the video. HDR content is going to be great on it I think, also did you see how fast Face ID worked for Apple Pay, that was really cool 🙂

This one showed how quickly Face ID works, and also how you can do the swipe immediately upon raising, and it’ll open as soon as your face is verified. That’s what Craig Federighi mentioned.

isn't that Spike Lee's son?
[doublepost=1509374553][/doublepost]why aren't they talk about the new OLED screen?
Especially since they kept saying we wouldn’t get phones till 2018. Jokes on them.

I bought the 8 Plus thinking I wouldn't want the X.
I pre-ordered the X and can't wait for it now 🙂 I have no buyers remorse though... 🙂

Pretty sure the reviews will be out Wednesday. I've heard from a few sources that outlets just got their X's today with the embargo being lifted on the 1st.
Two days to review seem pretty short....
They regularly get much more time. My guess is review units were sent out last week and reviews will drop tomorrow.
We'll see, although that would be hard to believe. They would basically have a partial day today to review and then need to spend tomorrow writing the review and editing the video to get it out Monday morning. Not going to get quality reviews if that is true.

That is how it always goes though. Wednesday we will be flooded with reviews. Some sites just do hands on reviews with a more detailed reviews about a week later.

Seeing an all black true blacks loading apps or going between apps in this video make me giddy for dat OLED
it's funny that tech journo twitter is a bit upset about the youtubers getting to access / publish their hands on.

I like how the Space Gray looks sleek in the video, moreso than the others.
Thank you thank you for saying this. I just said this in another thread earlier today. The wired "review" in my opinion is not a review. It is exactly what you said: a feature overview. For me there is no technicality in this "review". I do have an order in place. It's just nice to read technical reviews and for me wired review provides zero.

Cool!
I hope someone can change that homescreen wallpaper. Just put it in plain black like when the original iPhone was released. Saves battery too.
You kinda wish iOS had a launcher like Nova Prime. Mainly for the ability to change the icons pack. The flat design icons just doesn't look as good as Forstall's.
Just make it look like this -
^ That's exactly how I arrange my icons in all of my phones for the last 10 years. 4x4 grid but only 4x3. Never have a last line of apps to have room to swipe to next page. Black wallpaper because I have image retention on my LGs.
Black wallpaper over OLED and classic icons pack would make X homescreens look even better. Saves battery, doesn't obscure if it's a picture, and gives that floating effect. That default X wallpaper looks hideous.
Very difficult to match the iOS7 icons with any current wallpaper since the colors are all over the place. So plain black wallpaper since it matches up with any color the best.
