That video is pretty horrible.
If anyone is interested in seeing the band colors look at the hands on videos after the keynote. There was plenty showing both bands.
Got a tip for us?

It’s already been announced so he should be ok.
You can see the camera guy when she does the selfie camera....this was all staged and planned.
It's amazing how some of you people still dont want to realize, that Apple in 2017 is something completely different than Apple back in 2007. This phone is obviously targeted for teens, i mean they even show the animjois in this video as something extra interesting. Who is the most excited about animojis? Teens. Where on internet is the best place to reach that demographic? On YouTube via some teen Vloger.
this is a well thought marketing action.
Lol...I have no idea why people keep saying these sorts of things. The phone has been announced, demoed, and even some people have had hands on time with it. It’s not a secret anymore. Apple doesn’t need to keep the X under wraps. Plus, look at the huge camera she was carrying. Do you really think she lugged that around Apple’s campus without it being approved? I mean, she filmed herself going through security for God’s sake.
It does look great, I'm just wondering if it's going to be too flashy. Although I'll have a case on it so it doesn't matter much. I thought the same thing about the stainless steel watch and lately I've been thinking about selling my space gray one and getting a stainless steel one when the timing is right haha.[/QUOTE]
Eh? It’s literally the only one that explains the differences and shows it based on Apple’s website. I get the feeling you didn’t even watch it. Regardless, it proves the point that Apple is manufacturing these iPhone X phones with different steel bands.
Yes. It was professionally taken to look 'amateur'. It's a pre release by Apple marketing. But no matter what. Gimmick and old tech just can't excuse that notch. Sorry folks :-( this is not Apple's finest hour. A thousand quid? Wow.

It wasn’t recorded on an iPhone. You can see the large camera she is using in reflections throughout the video
She'll just marry one.
What the hell is this UI? So the flashlight and camera buttons are just going to obstruct notifications?
Bug in IOS 11.1 I presume.
The video would not be approved if these comments were made:
"The phone looks fatter than the pics on the website."
"Camera looks the same, I think I'll go with the iPhone 8 Plus."
"Face ID works half the time."
"Take me to your leader. I can see this being old fast."
"The food is terrible here, Daddy can we go to In-and-Out Burgers next time."

If you can't recognize a figure of speech and take it literal then you have more problems than you know.
I watched it. The guy doesn’t seem like he knows what it is still. He should of showed images from hands on instead of forum posts.
According to forum members you can possibly buff out scratches and may or may not be able to on the space grey. His wording the whole video wasn’t good. It’s slightky darker as he says as he reads the Apple text. Yes. It’s matches the glass of course it’s darker. It’s black. It’s not slightly anything.
He obviously knew she was filming it. He probably didn't think she was going to turn it into a viral video. Everything thinks their kids aren't going to be *that* kid.
I'm not saying ANY of that. What are you smoking?
I'm saying, pretty clearly I think, that the Dad had authorization from Apple to help his daughter make this vlog; that there is no subterfuge going going on. It's a video made to be of the "viral" type with some sort of amateur authenticity to it, not highly polished as you would get from either Apple or a professional reviewer.
Actually no... it’s not black. What he said is right. It’s a treated metal, to give it a smoky appearance. It’s not black. Nor is the phone. It’s Space Gray. The Space Gray band is slightly darker than the plain stainless steel on the silver version. Tbh he describes it just as I’d imagine it. I have a friend that works in a jewelry store and she mentioned the process they are using for the iPhone X metal band is the same on watch bands they use for a darker appearance, not black though. A darker gray. And it does get scuffed, and often has to be replaced all together rather than buffed and polished. The treatment of the metal is nothing new. But putting it on a phone could be a bad idea because they’re very prone to scratches and scuffs and there’s no easy way to replace that band on the phone. We’ll have to see.
So on Apples site when it says it’s polished to match the glass they aren’t telling the truth? My gripe with that video after he reads that and goes to say slightly darker then the silver version which it’s not slight. Silver is bright and polished the black version is basically black to match that of the glass.
The coatings are different on the two yes.
Nice to see that he went through a post I posted in. He still should of posted hands on images of both the colors side by side. Instead of taking weeks to figure out on the forums like he says.
Apple doesn’t care at this point. Everybody already has seen the iPhone X. If this video was uploaded before announcement then yes he can get in trouble. Besides, it at least shows how great Apple Pay is.
I would much prefer to see an illusion of the new phone being used somewhere other than Santana Row, also by someone who’s isn’t ultra entitled. Even a video from the space station would seem more down to earth than that girl’s lifestyle. But I get it, that’s the market...
Not to be a knit picker, but I’m pretty sure she wasn’t hand holding the phone either, I think it was in a steady cam gimble.

I feel similar...I'm not so sure what's happening here...
Overwhelmingly it feels like Apple are charging a premium for the privilege of owning a phone for which the design is incomplete. I suspect next year you will see all the normal two phones release event, with no top notch, TouchID under glass, and I pray and suspect that on day 1, iOS 12 will be a full featured and stable re-release of iOS11 albeit re branded of course.
It just feels like the iPhone X is a flux type of product, halfway completed with no future after this year. I don't like the feeling of buying that for a premium. Also the ip8+ while I'm sure faster definitely doesn't have enough value to offer for someone who already has the ip7+.
To complicate things further of course my girlfriend has been waiting eagerly all year for me to upgrade so she can get my ip7+, and get rid of my old old 6s she has now. So if i say "ahhh I don't know if I want to upgrade this year", she will be sad and I'm sure let me know it over and over. Anyone else in this position? You know what they say...happy wife, happy life.....I feel like I will upgrade just to avoid the headache. $1200 (CAD) i guess is a small price to pay for a year of no nagging.
I'm so torn....
