You know damn well he's right.



Which we already saw fail miserably. Come on now.

Yup! Wrap it up boys! Failed one time on a demo unit, shit don't work!

 

[The Pope]

Nope. My bet is from here they will go to X1, X2 etc.

AHH that's a really good idea actually.

 

[LyleLanley]

Nope. My bet is from here they will go to X1, X2 etc.

iPhone 10 1?

 

[Erebus]

I think something that really needs to be talked about is RAM. Apple has been skimping on RAM for years (don't give me the iOS is optimized, blah blah shit please). Please don't tell me the 8 has 2GB like the 7 and 8 plus and X only have 3 like the 7 plus.

If so that's bullshit.

iPhone 8 at 3 GB, 8 plus at 4Gb and X at 6GB would be acceptable.

I think that's the case.

 

[Skellig Gra]

54 fucking pounds a month. "Low" LMAO

 

[McHuj]

Because it's INCONVENIENT AF! I don't want to pick up my phone and look at it every time I want to unlock it (which is hundreds of times a day) while it's sitting on my desk or table

Or have to take off my sunglasses if I'm outside.

 

[serenewarfare]

That fuck up with FaceID demo on stage ruined everything for me. What the flying fuck.

I was gonna get 256 X day and date but I don't know if I should just wait for next year now which will no doubt be better with rumours of Touch ID under glass coming.

Steve would have been pissed with how this whole iPhone X shit went down.

The FaceID did not fail. The message the phone gave was similar to the one TouchID gives when the phone is restarted. You have to input your passcode manually when you first unlock after restarting. It was a gaffe, but it wasn't a failure of FaceID.

 

[borghe]

That fuck up with FaceID demo on stage ruined so much for me. What the flying fuck.

I was gonna get 256 X day and date but I don't know if I should just wait for next year now which will no doubt be better with rumours of Touch ID under glass coming.

Steve would have been pissed with how this whole iPhone X shit went down.

touchid will come back in the same model as the headphone jack.

I don't understand why people would honestly believe otherwise.

FaceID didn't fail. The phone was at a point where only a passcode could unlock it (power cycle)

 

[karmaforgotme]

People said the same thing when they took the headphone jack out last year. Didn't seem to have any effect.

Sooner or later Apple will really fuck up the iPhone and lose way too many sales, and everyone will be like 'We told you so!' after saying it every year.

 

[Pooya]

Can anyone in this thread explain to me how the X is worth spending a grand?

It looks different that all the other iphones out there that everyone has. Social status and all that shit.

OLED screen is also very nice. It's not like 800 bucks is cheap for a phone, if you can pay that much might as well go up all the way.

 

[VoxPop]

Steve would have been pissed with how this whole iPhone X shit went down.

Was it a fuck up? I thought it was just having to put in the code because the phone was restarted like how it is with TouchID

 

[avaya]

And the rest! I pay £60 a month for a 128GB iPhone 7 with O2 - 30GB of data.

I was thinking about Vodafone, they are likely to have the best pricing on the day.

 

[ZeroX03]

lol. replacing fingerprint scanning (feature. not features.) with the most advanced consumer facial recognition is "half baked"... ffs.. this thread keeps delivering.

There were people in the iPhone X thread talking about how it would have 16GB base storage. You've been around long enough to know how ignorant some of the criticism can be.

 

[RDreamer]

Because it's INCONVENIENT AF! I don't want to pick up my phone and look at it every time I want to unlock it (which is hundreds of times a day) while it's sitting on my desk or table

Yeah I feel like unlocking my phone at my desk or table accounts for at least 40% of my unlocks throughout the day.

 

[Poor GRIMES]

Because it's INCONVENIENT AF! I don't want to pick up my phone and look at it every time I want to unlock it (which is hundreds of times a day) while it's sitting on my desk or table

You don't need to pick it up. You don't need to touch it at all to unlock outside of swiping which can probably be turned off in settings.

 

[Martinski43]

You're quite "lucky" in the US when it comes to prices of these things... the iPhone X is ~same price as a iPhone 7 128 GB here. It's about $938

 

[Rushersauce]

lol. replacing fingerprint scanning (feature. not features.) with the most advanced consumer facial recognition is "half baked"... ffs.. this thread keeps delivering.

I don't get it either. It's 20x more secure than Touch ID, looks to be faster, and somehow isn't good enough

Apple's round table here. King Apple does no WRONG!

 

[antispin]

That notch has to be the ugliest thing Apple has done till date. Completely spoils the content. Yuck.

 

[TheOfficeMut]

What's the difference between 8+ and X?

The latter is a mortgage phone.

 

[nhlducks35]

You know damn well he's right.



Which we already saw fail miserably. Come on now.

It didn't fail tho

iOS requires you to enter the passcode when you restart the device, which is what happened in the demo

 

[Faddy]

I was thinking about Vodafone, they are likely to have the best pricing on the day.

Need to be on EE if you want the LTE Apple Watch.

 

[dc89]

Is this before the call contract?

Yes.

 

[Your Entertainer]

I think something that really needs to be talked about is RAM. Apple has been skimping on RAM for years (don't give me the iOS is optimized, blah blah shit please). Please don't tell me the 8 has 2GB like the 7 and 8 plus and X only have 3 like the 7 plus.

If so that's bullshit.

iPhone 8 at 3 GB, 8 plus at 4Gb and X at 6GB would be acceptable.

What situations would require more than 3gb of RAM on an iPhone? How is that limiting it in anyway right now? Even in the foreseeable future?

 

[Junior Mint]

I'm surprisingly underwhelmed by the X and surprisingly excited for the 8. Getting rid of the hideous antenna lines actually makes the 6/6S/7 design a lot nicer.

 

[GeoNeo]

The phone was rebooted. You can't even use Touch ID when a phone is rebooted, you have to put in your pin. Someone fucked up the demo unit, face ID didn't fail.

THANK FUCK IF TRUE.

That would explain a ton holy fuck I really need media to test this out. Whoever put a rebooted demo unit on stage is gonna get fired if that was the case.

 

[The Pope]

Can you accidentally unlock your iPhone?

 

[Cynar]

lol. replacing fingerprint scanning (feature. not features.) with the most advanced consumer facial recognition is "half baked"... ffs.. this thread keeps delivering.

Yes. Yes it is half baked.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Yup! Wrap it up boys! Failed one time on a demo unit, shit don't work!

I never said it didn't work, we saw it work afterwards, weren't you watching?

I said we saw it fail once. It doesn't matter how advanced a technology is, it needs to be perfected if it's going to outright replace something else.

 

[Lights and Waves]

I'd like an iPhone 8 but I really want that portrait mode feature and I don't want a huge 8+.

 

[Koyuga]

40/mo for X sounds okay to me. Sure, whatever.

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

Because you don't actually ever pay a grand with contract prices.

I don't even know anywhere that offers "contract pricing" anymore. It's all just monthly installments for the full price.

 

[Aiii]

I'm sorry but 64GB nowadays is completely and utterly unacceptable.

Depends entirely on how archaic you use media. I went full stream a couple of years ago and can’t for the life of me fill up even 32GB on my phone. 64 just means 32extra gigs of free space, yay.

 

[SPDIF]

lol. replacing fingerprint scanning (feature. not features.) with the most advanced consumer facial recognition is "half baked"... ffs.. this thread keeps delivering.

Do we know that for sure? It'd be nice to see a real world comparison with Windows Hello.

 

[borghe]

Yes. Yes it is half baked.

touchid isn't coming back. period. hence, "full baked"

 

[Swass]

Should have put touch id on the back of the X and I would be in.. can't get behind the face id gimmick.. may just keep the 6S plus another year or go 8+ for the waterproofing and wireless charging.. just not sure that's enough reason to upgrade.

 

[Your Entertainer]

You know damn well he's right.



Which we already saw fail miserably. Come on now.

Bad post

 

[DJ88]

Apple's round table here. King Apple does no WRONG!

Looking at things objectively and logically is sitting at the Apple round table?

 

[Kodiak]

People say this after every presser and then they destroy sales numbers.

I think this is bound to shift over time. Apple fucked up hard today. You can get the S8 for $400 less than the X, with a better looking design and feature set. You'd have to be an idiot to buy the X...

And don't get me wrong, the X looks like a nice phone, but I just don't see anything that justifies the price tag. It should have been X and X+, for 800-900$. Not this 8 / X nonsense.

 

[VoxPop]

Yeah I feel like unlocking my phone at my desk or table accounts for at least 40% of my unlocks throughout the day.

Why are you unlocking your phone if you don't plan on looking at it?

 

[serenewarfare]

Sooner or later Apple will really fuck up the iPhone and lose way too many sales, and everyone will be like 'We told you so!' after saying it every year.

I'll file all those next to the MCU doomsday predictions.

 

[Aiii]

Can you accidentally unlock your iPhone?

Yes, but I would imagine you won’t swipe up if you do that and it will relock the second the screen turns off again after a few seconds.

 

[i3allistic]

just realized APPLE TV cost as much as the Xbox One S right now w/the promo @ walmart

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

I think that's the case.

The former or the latter?

 

[Deaf Spacker]

Expecting UK iPhone contract pricing to be GBP65/mth for 20GB + a 256GB X on a 24mth contract for zero money down.

No it'll be at least £70 for the 64GB X.

 

[ZiggyPalffyLA]

You don't need to pick it up. You don't need to touch it at all to unlock outside of swiping which can probably be turned off in settings.

So I either have to turn off security altogether, or make it go straight to passcode (which requires at least 4 taps)? Yeah, super inconvenient.

 

[Salvadora]

Then maybe compare to the iPhone 8?

Why?

The iPhone X & S8 both offer a bezel-less design as a significant selling point.

They're comparable.

 

[Randdalf]

Because it's INCONVENIENT AF! I don't want to pick up my phone and look at it every time I want to unlock it (which is hundreds of times a day) while it's sitting on my desk or table

Why would you unlock your phone if you're not going to look at it?

Spoiler

being a tad facetious here, I know what you mean

 

[SirMossyBloke]

I think this is bound to shift over time. Apple fucked up hard today. You can get the S8 for $400 less than the X, with a better looking design and feature set. You'd have to be an idiot to buy the X...

Everyone is gonna buy these, they always do.

 

[yyzjohn]

The Canadian prices for the X are insane.

 

[TylerD]

From iPhone X site:

Our vision has always been to create an iPhone that is entirely screen. One so immersive the device itself disappears into the experience. And so intelligent it can respond to a tap, your voice, and even a glance. With iPhone X, that vision is now a reality*. Say hello to the future.

*On hold for now. This is the best we could do. Please buy.
