Had a great childhood, NDA and security are not to be scoffed at and it’s pretty naive of this guy to not expect to be fired after letting his kid post videos. I wish him the best of luck getting any job where he would be in a position of trust.
Got a tip for us?

Yup, definite bezel-less screens on the Android phones alright. And no, they definitely don't look bulky compared to the iPhone X.
Funny how the iPhone had the largest bezels and now it leapfrogged the competitors.
I thought TouchID in the 5S was fantastic. Yes it got better in subsequent devices, but that difference was marginal. Can't remember once thinking this isn't the real deal when I got the 5S or conversely I wish I'd waited for the 6 as TouchID is so much better. Functionally it was pretty much perfect for me and my colleagues, which was impressive given experience with other devices (IBM laptops for example).
I've upgraded every year thanks to work and in fact the bump in display res (retina as Apple like to call it) and TouchID are the two features that really stick out over the years. They're the ones where I really felt the upgrade was 100% worthwhile and the subsequent year thought "meh, nothing ground breaking like last year" by comparison. In fact given I'd had access to Android phones with High Res screens, only TouchID was the real ground breaker for me in recent years from a feature point of view.
Same here. I would've been super excited for the iPhone 7 if it had come with the airpods. Why give me an iPhone 7 with no headphone jack if there is no benefit to having it.
My assumption is if there's notifications, it will not automatically go straight to the home page. Just a hunch. Hope these settings can be toggled on/off.
Macrumors keeps sending me alerts after each post which I never bother to read. I wonder if this happens to more folks in the forum?
I wonder if they have AI bot behind the scenes cranking out alerts at random? Funny if it is, sad if real people do the alerting...

I have iPhone 7 Plus 256 GB. I'm upgrading. Why? The bezel. Or lack of bezel. I do not want that oversized brick of phone the plus is. I bought it because of the dual camera. Now I get the same with small physical footprint + OLED etc. At long last.
This has been my BIGGEST concern coming from the 7 Plus that I love. I'll find out Friday I guess. But you are thinking the same as I. Reviewers just don't seem to elaborate on how the "usable" screen size compares to the Plus size. How strange.
Didnt go through all the pages to check if repost but soldier knows best on yt has a similar video,
This reviewer seems very intent on making the iPhone X look as good as possible. Which is why no one should trust the early access reviews posted before official launch day, unless they're simply looking to justify a preorder...
Edit: The added bulk is something you get used to and in most situations never even notice. I would really like to see a Plus-sized iPhone X next year.
Hmm, I wonder why I have rarely if ever experienced either one of these problems with my iPhone Plus...

An honest reviewer would try to affirm that it is bigger than the iPhone 8, but smaller than the Plus instead of roughly the same size - because it definitely is smaller.

Because that girl was showing a TON of secured areas, lots of confidential information. Her video shows him logging into Apple system PC, shows other employees in pan shots, shows his Notes in notes app, possible calendar information. And finally, it wasn't an authorized video, where-as this one was authorized by Apple.
I fully understand how game changing this is, I simply went to an AT&T store and held a Galaxy S8 in my hand....
Please don't fall for Apple's marketing buzz words, other than refining facial recognition, and creating talking poop emojis, they haven't done anything new or revolutionary here.

I hate where cell phone prices are headed. But, having used a couple of the latest Android flagships, the price premium for the 10 could (could) be worth it. We will find out Friday. I've had hands on experience with Pixel 2 XL, owned and returned the LG V30 and the Pixel 2. The screens on these phones are TRASH. Blue color shift with only the slightest movement on the Pixels. The LG has horrible blotching / mura effect and banding. Pixel 2 XL (LG screen) is nowhere near the quality of Samsung Note 8 or S8+. We can only hope that Apple has demanded A+ quality OLED screens for the 10.
The Pixel 2 XL and Pixel have color calibration issues that will be fixed via software, but there's interference with the NFC chip that causes ticking like a watch at all times in the earpiece. The Pixels have horrible black crush, I downloaded an app that changes the color profile and gamut and it did not fix the issue. Pixel 2 breaks / cracks at the plastic antenna line toward the top of the phone. Cheaply built products being sold at flagship prices. The only phones in the iPhone 10's league are the Note 8 / S8+. Every other phone from Android are pretenders.
With the iPhone 10 we will hopefully get A+ screens from Samsung, unrivaled customer support, great software, great ergonomics, great camera / hardware, and NVMe solid state storage. If all of this comes true, the phone is worth $999 (compared to other phones on the market...no phone should cost $999...).
It would be great if the phone would auto detect your viewing angle so you do not have to disable rotation lock all the time just to view a video aka youtube. Pain in the ass
Compared to the X the Note and Galaxy 8 - are both bezelless, notchless and 25% cheaper for actually more features. However the iPhone X has the following to draw the early adopters.
The Apple name.
X.
iOS.
Prepared to go Android, sir?
''No way, Ray - IPhone is better yeah?''
In that case then please put aside any logical thought and follow me to the sales counter. And bring your mortgage advisor with you, yes? Thank you.
I can understand why. What I can unfortunately also understand is why MacRumors has not posted an article covering that aspect of the story. Apple is well within their right to fire an employee for any reason (or no reason, under California law), but I do think it's terribly petty. Gotta make an example of people, though, right?
But MacRumors, come on – Let's have some journalistic integrity here! If you're gonna cover all the hagiographic news about Apple, you'd better write some critical pieces, too. Otherwise, right-thinking people (who are admittedly in short supply these days) are liable to think that you're just a mouthpiece for Cupertino, and you're going to lose the little journalistic respect you've ever had.
I understand it's not good business. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, right? Ah, well. At least we know we're your loyalties lay... and it's not toward your readers.
And if it isn't a positive review, he won't get an early sample next year. See the trap ?
