You think they didn't consider this?
That is just a UI guideline that no one has to follow if they don't want to. I do agree with it though. At worst, just put some background there where nothing significant happens - the full screen coverage just looks so much cooler.Video from Apple's Developer site (6m 20s in) specifically advises against black bars (aww):
I see nothing about this phone as being that much more special than my 6S. A newer chip and higher camera, that's it. I can't even consider it at that price. It's almost how much I paid for my for quad core lenovo

No worries, it looks like developers are already fixing UI issues.
To be honest, I didn't get the 6S+ because I'm not watching movies on my phone. So a better screen from what I have now doesn't matter much.OLED is a significant upgrade tbh. I agree the price is high but the phone does look like a big upgrade over previous iPhones.

Not to anyone who ever considered buying a new iPhone. Just the android trolls who's devs failed them with similar 3D facial tech.Do people really care about the idea someone can grab their phone and point it at them to unlock it?
Like this is a real concern?
HahahaI just think buying an X is bad because of the precedent it sets in tech firms really ripping us off. It's like buying a banana for $100. It's not worth it, and its obscene.
You're throwing money away, that could help someone else. In this respect buying an X is helping to further class divides and the suppression of the common man. This is another step in a potential corporate nightmare, where we don't bat an eye when a phone cost over a £1000 while people on the street are starving.
One could argue any entertainment or luxury product falls into being a tool of oppression, but I disagree. But some goods are worth their value, and some are clearly a preposterous ripoff that can potentially eat away at the fabric of our social consciousness.
There's just something wrong with so many of us so enthusiastic to spend such a large sum on a mere phone. So enthusiastic about letting an almost trillion dollar company to rip you off. Its not right. We should pause and accept we are at terrible crossroad.
Damn they're already anticipating no one wanting the 8. Makes sense. What a weird purchase decision.not sure if posted but AT&T to offer buy one get one free for iphone 8

They do this for every iteration.Damn they're already anticipating no one wanting the 8. Makes sense. What a weird purchase decision.
And when the phone is rotated, would you want the status bar to remain permanently in portrait mode? Come on.Apple is one of the richest countries in the world, hires and can hire the best in the business, yet random people on the internet create better looking designs than them.
Yeah, a year later when the new shit is about to come out.They do this for every iteration.
Why do they feel the bottom needs to be cut off also? Just cut off the top!

Why is it weird?
The base model iPhone 8 is $300 cheaper than the base iPhone X which is a big difference for most people. And you don't have to re-learn an entire operating system / decade of behavior either.
It's most likely going to be the best-selling iPhone SKU this Fall.
Did the iPhone 7 come out in 2015?Yeah, a year later when the new shit is about to come out.
2GB of ram and better board. It was an obvious choice. But I guess what I'm saying is that my 6S still does everything fine. There will always be a faster chip, but right now an upgrade at that price isn't necessary for me at all. And the new features are not necessary eitherMuch faster chip
Better camera front and back
New features (whether you care or not)
Super sized screen for smaller form factor and weight
Longer battery life
'Sounds pretty much like every other iteration to me, so why did you get your 6S when the 6 was still available for less money?
Lol yeah, cause the good iPhone will be impossible to find w/supply issues. Doesn't mean 8s the more wanted phone. The way cheaper iPhone 7 makes more sense than iPhone 8 unless you for some reason have a boner for wireless charging.Why is it weird?

Apple purposely made the iPhone 8 to make everyone buy into their more expensive X. $300 more per unit in their pocket. Because they know their base won't settle for a less desirable 8. Pretty fucked up in Apples part do this to their base, but that's how Apple is. They don't care about their base as long profit is good. I guess their base deserve this evil business practice.

dude I've seen you in like every iPhone thread, but never contribute anything. Like whats the end goal here? everyone says "oh roncotrollthousand thank you for showing us the error of our ways. how could we be so blind"
Availability will also be a factor.
This will be an intriguing case. Apple seems to be trying to set up a third tier of phone, as opposed to the traditional budget and premium tiers. I'm not sure how that will play out. We know the X will be limited supply and is expensive. We're already seeing diminishing returns on phones, but Apple has always been able to drive a hunger for the latest and greatest. Now that the 8 isn't the latest and greatest, will the market for that be limited? Will people with 6 and 6Ss be compelled to upgrade if they can't get an X due to supply or cost?

Anyone else think this is how apple should have used the notch?
It should look more like a seemless status bar rather than how they're doing it now.
Don't worry hes just a troll. He's the same guy who was telling me how I should spend my money.
Tempting to sell my Galaxy S8 and pick up an X tbh. Figure I can easily get $400 for the S8, making the X "only" $600. Haven't had an iPhone since the 4S (and my god that thing was beautiful) so it's tempting just to have a different OS at this point.
LOL. Keep drinking those apple juice. You know I'm right.
OHH, YOURE SO RIGHT!!! HOW COULD BE SO MUCH MORE RIGHT THAN ALL OF US????

Yea I think i might sell my s8+ for the X. X is def gonna be hard to grab on preorder night though if you don't hit the order button within the first 10 seconds lol

If they did this, the top two corners would be a different shape from the bottom two corners. People would still complain.
If they make enough X's, then 100% X is going to outsell the 8. No doubt about it.
But seeing as there are rumors of delays and they're only making 10k X's a day, the 8 and 8+ will outsell the X due to limited availability.
Apple is actually selling five tiers of iPhone now, and even more if you count the Plus models as separate tiers:
1. SE
2. 6S (Plus)
3. 7 (Plus)
4. 8 (Plus)
5. X
There's basically a different phone available at every $100 price increment from $349 to $1199, which is kind of insane. If you want an iPhone, there's no shortage of options now!
I do wonder if the X is a one-off, though, and that next year (or perhaps the year after) its tech will trickle down in to the mainstream tier. It has to at some point, right? Unless they can come up with something really compelling and different to justify that extra tier each year, it seems almost like a "we added a high-end tier because we just can't get this available in mass market quantities/prices yet" move.
Wow. Uppercase.
