By the way, 36mil phones by the end of the year is still a good number, especially for pre-orders, considering there are only two months left in the year upon release.

With demand expected to be around 50m ... I don’t really see how this will be much different than any other iPhone release where those who order late have to wait. When preorders start in September, orders are usually pushed in to late November, or early December. Here - it seems to correlate that orders will be pushed into January and early February.
 
i work near the main campus and next to a bunch of small offices they have scattered around the south bay.. i see these daily. no kidding.
 
ugh...

I will preface this with an "of COURSE I'll still be buying one", but man is that not an ideal solution.

The notch seems to get worse every time I see it in the wild/at the launch too. Hopefully it's just creeping in because of all the hate because I swear it didn't bother me much at first. But now? Yuck.

I'm really hoping it's not as much of a wart in real world use, otherwise it will impact my decision on the X2 if they don't fix it. When other manufacturers can have screens with a higher "all screen" %, higher PPI, AND no notch, it really makes it funny how Apple believes this is the "future". I'm not one of those people that believes Apple is hopelessly behind or anything, but still, this isn't a quantum leap (in anything but a FaceID system no one asked for and almost universally would be swapped for TouchID if it were a choice).

[doublepost=1507822601][/doublepost]Unoptimised apps show a black bar at the top and bottom!

If you look closely at the screen, it says Apple Campus, 1 Infinite Loop on the Pokemon app, so he's using the iPhone X at Apple HQ.

I'm 90% going for Silver, but I was actually saying that picture of the Space Grey looks reeeeeeaaaallly sleek and is making me consider that.
Both so beautiful.. Wish I got to see them in person first, but by that time orders will be out to next March :p
Damn.. Yeah, the space grey looks hot as well.. pretty much torn here, since its a big investment.. hmhm

I know what y’all mean!

I’ve had a few white iPhones (4S and 5). The white border around the screen drew me back to the black iPhones. Not with the X though! No white borders.

So have you not had any hands on?

I've on occasion been asked by people when they see me with the new iPhone, back when i had the 4,5 and 6 at launch.
 
Tim Cook actually has an early prototype of the iPhone X2. ;)

Just like when Tim Cook had the Apple Watch Series 3 early with the red dot.
 
Lol. Seriously? You do understand that would obviously happen with all apps until they’re optimized for the much taller display right? Like you knew that yeah? No?

Complain about the notch, but not obvious non-issues.

Android phones come in all different sizes and they don't have big black bars. Apple controls both the hardware and software, it is inexcusable.
