Will be getting the X in white at some point. I’ll probabaly let the hype die down first and see how well the FaceID technology works. If they bypassed the fingerprint technology, I can only assume it’s close to perfected already, but I’ve been wrong before. And I’m sure there are still bugs to work out.


so youre buying a $1k phone that you have concerns about it even functioning correctly?

there truly are some dumbass people in this world

Is it really breaking news that Apple marketing works?

def not, but as a consumer, i can still be disappointed in the released product and call out blatant idiocy/hypocrisy

I've been on android, switch to apple recently, and have been really enjoying imessage despite the other software limitations of iOS

so i was really wanting to love this release because i thought this was supposed to be the big one?

anyways, i just like having different options and with this faceID bs i dont even think i can consider apple at this point.

Aww don't worry they'll just use the keypad unlock like they did on their iPhones from 4 years ago. Apple has truly brainwashed people.

I must be the only person who thinks that the polished steel band around the X makes it look cheap. I think the phone design overall is great, but that part (I know it's an original iPhone throwback) looks like shite IMO

indeed, and thats the thing, the sheep will cope with any release and rationalize it away in their minds as to why apple decided to design the phone this way; look at this thread, for example.

and, sadly as consumers, we all lose, because the masses will never call out apple on their bs

i will say, one thing that is great from this release is that instead of apple going with their own wireless charging service, they choose the Qi wireless platform

this means that with iphone adoption, we'll start to see bars, restaurants, etc offer integrated Qi charging for patrons more and more

yea if they would've gone with USB-C on the phones to compliment the new Macbooks that would've been great also. If Apple packages a USB-C to lightning cable with the phones I forsee many people fricking up their devices by mistakenly switching them up.

So 8 or X, is it worth doing the apple repurchase program to upgrade each year? I got a 6 right now in great condition trying to decide whether it would be a good to just get 7 instead for cheaper if the 7 is very good.

You're acting butthurt in all the Apple threads. What don't you tell us, expressly, what you don't like about the iphone/Apple?

I actually like the cutout and I'm really talking about how the glass fits into the shape of the phone. Per usual with Apple, the fit/finish is really good.

I think I'll do the Apple upgrade thing with the 8, and just upgrade to the X/X whatever next year.

So with iPhones 8/10 out of the way, I can't wait until they unveil 9/11 next September.


Think they will eliminate airplane mode?

I’m excited to see the rumored X+

Not sure I’d want it, but would still like to see it
