I understand that, but it sucks that early adopters can not get the red color way, and what makes it so hard to put black screens instead of the white

How many people really buy the RED iPhones though?

Show some restraint. Nobody needs a new iPhone as soon as it’s released.

Talk about first world problem!
 
New colors sell phones more than new tech.
In reality, yes. That's why Samsung, Sony, and many other Android OEMs have staggered releases of different colors and limited editions. Ask any regular person what's their criteria in buying anything, including gadgets and cars. Often color is more important than the actual spec. Thus it's a smart business decision, especially knowing there's a long gap (1 year) for a new model release, to pad it with something like a new color release in between.

Notch is ugly, status bar is crippled, camera hump is annoying. 3 things I hate about my X.
Yet you have one. Why pay $1k for something you hate? :shrug:

I never said I hate all of it. So...
I still find it funny that you're willing to pay $1k for a phone with something that you hate and will see all the time when you use the phone (the notch). :shrug: I guess I'm more careful with my spending.

Because the last generation iPhones have been so underwhelming people were forced to pay for the X as the iPhone 8 is essentially a 7 with an upgraded processor.
Forced? LOL seriously?

Hobby, 1k$ is nothing for a hobby imho. I really don't care when people are spending thousands for fishing/hunting gear or whatever.

Alternative is to go Android way, and Apple with all shortcomings is much better eco compared to Android.

X is great device, but it's far from perfect. Notch is going to disappear asap.
 
Does anyone know what time will they update the Apple Store? GMT. I'm anxious...

Could be anytime in the next 2-3 hrs to sometime before noon.

I just bought a gold unlocked 256GB 8+ Sunday at the Apple store. Not going to return it for another color because I already have a red 256GB 7+ as well. I want to be able to tell the difference between the two phones. Took me half the day to set things up on it and then to finally sync up my 13,000 songs onto it from iTunes.

I'm still curious to see what if anything will be announced later today.
 
1999 Steve Jobs already knew this (1:36:33 to 1:37:06)


Indeed, which makes it frustrating that today’s Apple is so colorless.

OMG - Still a rumor means Tim is negotiating with Bono over the best taxfree arrangment
 
A sensible person would listen to all the people having an iPhone X saying they don't notice the notch and that it's not an issue.
Well if you pay 1200€ for a phone, i'm sure you wont want to admit it ;)
 
No sensible person wants a notch on their phone.
I don't care about the notch. I care about the price reaching $1700 for 256G version in my (EU) country. This can't be fixed by any new color and is the no.1 reason why these devices are not selling well (at least outside the US).
 
hmmmm, if Apple regularly releases my favorite color mid-cycle, I might just wait to upgrade mid-cycle most years.

Rather like when I went S-cycle during 3-4-5 series iPhones.

Gold option doesn’t attract me right now, but red X would.
 
Wow! what an innovated computer company no Mac Pro updates but a color change to a phone! :rolleyes:
