Soooo happy with the X. Coming from a 6. Every year since, I’ve wanted the camera of the plus, but couldn’t deal with the size. The X is the sweet spot. Also, I was concerned about FaceID because TouchID works so well, but I’m enamored with FaceID. It has worked faster and more reliability than TID. Never want to go back.
Got a tip for us?

Is anyone head over heels in love with X?

Due to the sudden influx of posts about hot iPhone X, I would say it seems so.
I really do love it!
I hated going from 6+ to 7+, felt cheated because it looked and felt like the same phone but I love this new design and the gestures. I really like having the smaller form factor with the full screen.
Now, if my credit union would update their app, I would be ecstatic! I hate having to type my password every time to login.

I absolutely love the iPhone X.
I was always stuck in a limbo, i prefer the bigger screen and battery of the plus series, but i hated the fact that the phone became so huge and couldn't really use it easily with just 1 hand.
i have a 7+ and 8+ laying in a drawer under my desk, but those are going to sit here grabbing dust and functioning as potential back-up devices if anything bad happens to my new baby.

To many people are complaining about the price. Apple went to Samsung. To get us OLED panels that they designed. Not LG like google did. That by itself increases the price. I factor in the quality of this product. This is the Best iPhone. If you wanted a cheaper iPhone get the iPhone SE. It’s available.
Im very happy with my iPhone X. The experience so far has been buttery smooth. This is the first phone I loved.

Not super in love, also not unhappy.
Pros:
Love the home button being gone, it’s better without
Camera is amazing
Screen is crisp
Animoji
Battery
Cons:
Face ID doesn’t love the length of my arms, and the angles I try to unlock my phone at
Screen size isn’t great, the phone is too narrow
OLED random flickering issue, can’t replicate, seems random

1000% head over heels. Usually by now I am over the newness of a phone, but this phone is keeping itself fresh. I love the design. The gestures are brilliant and a vast improvement over life with a home button. The chassis is the perfect size and now the screen is plenty big. This is easily the best phone Apple has put out, and possibly the biggest leap since the original.
Having a bigger screen than the 8 but a smaller form factor than the 8 Plus is what does it for me, all other features are awesome added bonuses.

I’m really loving mine, too. I think it may be my favorite iPhone, but I’m basing most of that off aesthetics. I keep taking the case off to just be able to see how this phone looks. It is much faster than my 7 Plus, though I think I had issues with my 7 that others didn’t. I’m totally fine without the home button, and I expected to hate that.
My only issue is when I’m texting. My pinky keeps hitting that space below the keyboard, and somehow the zoom box comes on and I have to turn it off.

i’m not head over heels for any phone, but happy with the X. for me, most of the things ppl were warning about have not been a con in my use case, i don’t mind the moth, sort of like it actually, don’t mind the perceived narrowness of the screen and appreciate the perception of more vertical height more. (i say perceived as i don’t care about specs and measure,ents wit this type of thing, it’s about perception)
don’t miss the home button, the added gestures were easy to pickup and became automatic within days.
face id has not been a hinderance, my own muscle memory is making it more accurate over time, i’m not fighting face id i’m adjusting to it. i have a full beard and it’s been great so far.
coming from the 7+ adjusting to the mallet formfactor toots a bit of time getting used to, but not a “problem”just an adjustment...

This is definitely my favorite iPhone to date! The immersive feeling of having the display take up nearly the entire front is amazing and you can see the progress that awaits once Apple makes a larger iPhone X and one day makes the screen curve around the glass. If companies showed off all their cards too soon, what else is left in subsequent releases?
For now, I love the iPhone X. Face ID is a great feature and works about 95% of the time for me. Depending on the angle I hold it, the sensors may not always see my face, so the days of just lifting up my phone with it already unlocked due to TouchID seem like a "luxury" in a way. But I do enjoy how notifications are somewhat hidden until you look directly at it. Helps from prying eyes if, say... a nosey friend or significant other wants to use your thumb to unlock your phone while you're asleep haha!

Head over heals? (has to be a translation thing....I hope 😀 )
I like mine. Went from 6+. Like the size, speed, wireless charging. Face ID? well perhaps a necessary evil, and maybe just a little less evil than the button. It's going to take time. BTW, the lack of headphone jack, which I use 24/7 isn't an issue, surprisingly. Maybe wireless charging has a little to do with that.
The button ID was nice (real nice). But any kind of 'hands free' functionality is welcome, so long as it works, which is the thing here.

same, it feels like what the iPhone should have always been. My only complaints are choices like making the messages app waste 1/4 of the space to tell me that I'm in messages.
You finally came up with a use case that would justify wireless charging for me. Granted Im not heading back to wired headphones. Thanks!! 😀

Loving it coming from a 6S to the Silver iPhone X its just fantastic!
I cant wait til some of my tweaked apps like YouTube++ and MovieBox get updated to support the new screen aspect ratio.
I think its the best iPhone design since the 4/4S.

Not in love, but really like the X. Every other flagship has some sort of issue and at the end of the day, in the price range of $750 to $1150, the X has the fewest, by far, and is the best overall experience, for me. It finally forced me to delete every lossy music file I have and instead convert music I want on my phone from FLAC to ALAC. Have to justify the 256gb somehow!
Samsung S8+ - I hate the curved screens and lack of timely Android updates. Note 8 is stunning but too big.
LG V30- horrible screen, mura effect, banding.
Pixel 2/2XL - huge bezels on smaller one, terrible blue screen shift, black crush, NFC chip ticking, insanely annoying adaptive brightness. XL also has screen issues. Very overpriced phones.
iPhone 8/8+ - I came from a 7 so the 8 is out of the question. The 8+ was my choice but I returned it for the earpiece clicking issue and decided to wait for the X. The 8+ is awesome but just too big, could’ve dealt with it though. So $950 vs $1150 is what my decision came down to. I decided to go X.
