This. The X is more like the 8 Plus, than the 8 Plus is like the 7 Plus... spec for spec
I'm waiting to see what upgrade pricing is. The 8 is $249 (~62% off) so I'm hoping the X is somewhere around $349-$399. Any more than $400 and I'll just hold on to my 7.But but but.... everyone on MR says they're overpriced and don't offer enough to make it worth buying. I'm sure they won't bother buying since they suck so bad.
People don’t understand that keeping a same, established design language in the lineup is a positive thing, not a negative thing.
People love confirmed designs. Manufacturers and shareholders love streamlined productions. Third parties love known products that don’t disturbed their businesses.
All successful businesses in any industries keep and refine their designs.
I expect Apple to sell the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 8 for many years to come.

Unless you have a ip4 or 5 ,theres no real compelling reason to get an 8 besides that fact that it's a shiny new object.
They already do that, and clearly overestimated how many people would buy them this time.
64gb is actually fine I have found, just manage your space. Dont store videos on the iPhone long term (seriously do you need all those videos 6-12 months later?). Use Google Music or something to keep all your music in the cloud and keep some playlist of music on the iPhone when you wont have signal.
We don't know how many units are going to be available on launch day. But from now until November 3, that's a decent amount of time for production for the iPhone X. Aside from that, the real considering factors of why the iPhone X will sell out, is simply because of hype and demand. When you factor in those who have been already waiting for the iPhone X and now continue to do so until October 27 for preorder, the demand is going to continue to increase from now until pre-order time, those two ingredients alone are the reasons why the iPhone X will sell out.
Once in the stores, which is where most average users will see this, it won't be confusing at all. The X will just be the really expensive version.
I have a 6+. It's time to upgrade.
I can see how much better the device would be because I already have a 10.5 iPad pro. It's not just about pretty, it's about productivity.
I believe back and front are gorilla glass 5, so its focus is to be more shatter proof, not more scratch resistant.
I'm going from a 6s to an 8+. Not interested in the X as $200 more for face id, better selfies, and a notch that will slowly drive me insane doesn't seem worth it. When I found out that the usable vertical screen space in landscape mode is less than the 4.7" due to Apple not wanting people to cover the bar that is the new home button then I knew the X wasn't for me.
Most definitely, the hardcore Apple followers need their fix and their "look at what I got" moment, but what about 2-3 months later? That's when the reality of those prices will hit Apple like a hammer and the discounts will come from some retailers.
The 6 was still gimped with 1 GB RAM. Big jump to the 6S and anything after.
Because it affects Apple's choices. If they can get away with recycling the same design four times in a row they could decide to do it a fifth one. I hope both iPhone 8/8+ and X flop, so next year they'll think twice before trying to fool their customers.
By the way, the iPhone X will probably sold out very soon, but its production is severely constrained, so that doesn't mean it sells well, but just that they can't make many of them.
Was in AT&T today. Guy was buying a 7+. He said to the salesman there is no compelling reason to buy and 8. He said the 8 is suppose to be faster than a MacBook pro (good ole marketing) and he doesn't need that kind of power for Facebook on his phone.
The WORLD doesn't revolve around you and your desires. Just because YOU don't like something doesn't mean other people won't and clearly all of their devices appeal to enough people that they ARE making the right choices. For the record, I'm not impressed with this year's line up but I would never be stupid enough to say "I hope it fails" in the vain hope that they'll magically create something I like. You don't like it, go get an Android phone.

I'm not surprised the iPhone 8 hasn't sold out, I mean it's already outdated by the iPhone 10 isn't it? People who buy a new phone every year won't want the iPhone 8 they want the iPhone 10 to have the latest and greatest.
Personally I think they're both crap so I'm abstaining from upgrading this year.

The notch is to differentiate the iPhone from all the other edge to edge display phones that have a slim black strip at the top. It’s the way for anyone to instantly pick it out of a lineup just by its screen’s silhouette.
Until now, the circular home button was the distinguishing factor from just looking at the screen.
Any word on when we can expect to see 8 & X series in-store?
I forget what the typical timeline looks like.
