You wanted a new Mac Mini? From the September iPhone event? I want one too, but I never dreamed they'd announce one today.

The X saved the day yet slightly more underwhelming that I expected
No they said it will only work if you're looking at the screen. If you're looking away it won't work. Also you have to have your eyes open.
Yeah....initial reaction is that we'll hang on to our current iphones.....I'm not convinced of FACE ID and its ability to overtake Touch ID and its ease of use. I love the display, love the look but good Lord, why is Apple spending so much time advancing emojis when there are far more important features they could be focusing on? I mean, I don't know...this whole emoji craze is insane.
I'm wondering when/what the next Apple product I actually want to buy will be
bright side..you got wireless charging...how fast? don't know.
I think it's a bad move to announce x and date it to November. There are patient consumers, but there are also who can't wait to get another phone. Announcing this with ip8 and plus...who wants to buy those then? There are people who will buy ip8 and plus, but lot of people want x.
Usually tech reviewers would buy them and return it.

Yea, they made it sound like all TouchID enabled apps automatically work with FaceID.....the apps probably just look for the OK from the secure enclave.
The rumor regarding production issues must be true. November 3rd? And such a short window for Pre-orders likely means they will still have limited supply and long waits to get that device.
The biggest thing here is all the energy they spent on getting rid of the TouchID button which was my favorite part of the iPhone. Anyone think there may be major problems with all in on the FaceID thing? They have really put it all out there if this has problems, it will be a disaster, and that's the main thing that is really different on this device... which of course got them edge to edge. I would rather they went with a different location for the TouchID ... side or back... as a backup until this was proven in the field.
You're a member of this community, so I assume you are aware it's a massive fire dumpster and has been for quite a few years now.
Up in the UK.
Pricing:
iPhone X 64GB £999, 256GB £1149
iPhone 8 64GB £699, 256GB £849
iPhone 8+ 64GB £799, 256GB £949
Insane pricing.
Makes the SE even more of a bargain than before.
There's been speculation it would launch later. Just hoped that somehow Apple would pull off a launch at the same time as iPhone 8.
Guess those people lined up at the Apple store in Australia can go home
That's pretty funny
The notch phone for $999, 64gb and no touch ID. Pass.
They should've just presented the iPhone X and left out the other crap. Drop the iPhone 8 altogether because most will not pay the premium over the 7 or 6S when there's little gain. As for the iPhone X, it's the first iPhone since the 4S that I'd consider buying again but they need to add a software option to blacken the screen at the top to mask the ugly notch and lower the price because it's not worth more than the Galaxy Note 8.
