iPhone X thread

What? It has 2 more hours of battery life compared to my 7. That's rockin.

No, it has "up to 2 more hours" depending on the specific task. LTE internet browsing is listed at 12 hours for both the iP7 and iPX (which is extremely optimistic). So no increase in battery life for many tasks.

Which is perfectly fine for me. My 7 lasts as long as I need it to.

And 4 hours less compared to 7plus...

Might be just me, but the look of the OS really looked so dated tonight. The same icons in the same format...blah blah.

Seriously underwhelmed with the X too...and yes I’m another who hates the notch in full screen video/pictures. The tech is nothing new but the latest round of exorbitant pricing certainly is...new levels of ridiculous. Like someone else said previously, I was far more impressed with the Watch Series 3, oh and TV 4K.

That is not how it will work. The OS makes sure that cutout area is never used for anything except a few icons, maybe video playback controls. Your video will not be cut off or a game have part of its viewport cut off. A webpage won’t scroll into that area either. You can consider the display to start from underneath the cutout.

I think the part where the new iPhone will succeed or fail is how fast it unlocks without fingerprint sensor. Ideally it’s a case of just picking it up and using it, worst case is a noticeable delay every time you want to use it.

where did you see that? the video that was demoed did cut into the video.

Those "screen horns" look ridiculous and probably really annoying when watching a video fullscreen.

From what I gather, in landscape mode they will just be blacked out, not showing anything. In that case it should work fine.

I am betting that they will address this in future updates

I hope you're right. But even so, 1,000 dollars is a hefty bet.

 

[Nozuka]

they have almost 2 months left to work on the software...

How much to repair the cracked rear glass?
[doublepost=1505255169][/doublepost]

Underwhelming!

As everything has and will be without Jobs.

 

[mellofello]

I want to buy one but the Intel modem on TMobile may have killed it. Going to wait to hear what reception is like.

4x4 mimo and 256 qam has really made a huge difference on my s8+

maybe they should implement a 3d model of his face and digitally bring him back to life to at least present some future apple tech

 

[mi7chy]

Once people see the SAMOLED display in person they'll forgive the ugly notch. Hopefully, Apple will by then patch the UI software so it displays black bars to mask the ugly notch putting this issue to rest.

 

[malibuboats91]

I'm switching to a Samsung Note 8 and saving the $200.

 

[Mousesuck]

And 4 hours less compared to 7plus...

Yeah but 7plus is a brick...

 

[therealjustin]

I understand how trivial it sounds to some, but I cannot get past the "notch" either. The way Samsung has integrated this area into the S8 and Note8 is a much better solution.

 

[The Game 161]

so do we get to use the full 5.8 inch screen of the iphone x? looks like it

 

[luigi408]

After watching the video and games blocked by the notched. I am skipping X. iPhone 8+ not enough significant changes either. Might just keep my iPhone 7+. I'm gonna get the watch and Apple TV though. Disappointed about iPhone X. Totally compromised design.

 

[LarryJoe33]

I’m in! I do think using Apple Pay with face ID looks to be more cumbersome. Today we hold it to the reader with thumb on home button and done. Now it looks like a double tap of the side button, bring phone to face, and then back down to the reader.

Thats not how it was presented today. The video edge was blocked by the notches.

 

[AndrewR23]

Def getting it but sucks we gotta wait. Ill be getting my 2 months refunded from citizens, just got off the phone with them. Got the managers name, ref and Id number, and emailed paperwork to get this sorted out after I get the X.

 

[needfx]

now that's a nice slap in the face(id)

Apple’s stock suddenly dropped after that Face ID fail

Like I mentioned in another thread, if Tmobile runs a good promo for the x I'll get it if not then 8 for me. Upgrade from 6s should be noticeable.

 

[OneMike]

this is the first year in a long time that I've been so unimpressed with Apple's offerings. mostly disappointed that iPhone X only comes in one size and is only offered in 64GB/256GB. I need more than 64 but way less than 256. annoying. iPhone 8 not having portrait mode is ignorant. I honestly have no clue which way I'm going to go.

Pretty much this. I'm leaning towards just keeping my 7 plus. The only thing nudging me forward is I planned to give my mother my 7 plus. I may end up just buying her a used 7 plus, Keeping mine and waiting till next year.

 

[Damstr]

And 4 hours less compared to 7plus...

It comes with roughly the same screen size in a smaller form factor. If you really care about battery life then stick to the 8 Plus or your 7 Plus. As a launch 7 Plus user I am not worried at all especially with wireless charging. That much easier to just put the iPhone down and let it charge then constantly plugging and unplugging.
