iPhone X | OT | November 3
- Thread starter wachie
- Start date
iPhone X is roughly the size of a non-Plus (5.6" x 2.8"), with a screen bigger than the size of a Plus screen (5.8"). Though I don't think they should be allowed to count that hideous notch area as actual screen real estate

Quick verge impressions.

In games too? I sure hope so.

The black section where the selfie camera is. It's 'overlayed' on top of the edge of the screen. Meaning it covers a section of any videos you're watching.

why not? looks like this in landscape mode watching movies:
really dislike that, too
I quite like what's going on under the hood of that thing. The machine learning combined with the sensorics and image processing seems quite imressive to me. It feels like they are quite ahead of the rest of the phone industry in this regard.
But the prices here in Germany will probably keep me from getting one. It's simply way too much.

Why would need a screen higher then the resolution our eyes can see?

I hope you can letterbox-out that bezel lip. It's very distracting in full screen mode. I'd rather give up the two corners and just have a straight line.
Then don't buy it. Buy a less expensive phone.

So it's either Samsung awful curved screens or this with the notch. Leaning towards the notch phone, but might wait and see the next pixel. The iPhone user experience is so nice though. But that notch is ugly as sin.
They should have incorporated touchID into the bottom edge (utilizing the swipe up feature to unlock).
because the clock and battery indicator are there.
Switch Back 9
a lot of my threads involve me fucking up somehow. Perhaps I'm a moron?
Only 3GB of RAM? I'm no expert but that seems like a paltry amount for fucking $1000 USD.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?

Okay this does look pretty damn sexy.

As expected, battery life is slightly worse than the 7+ and now 8+
Was that a picture during the conference or in a video? I must've missed it.
3GB of RAM in an iPhone is like 6GB of RAM in an Android device. It's great.

First, lol at going the Microsoft route of counting where it's essentially 3,4,5,6,7,10.
But the real question is, is the phone poorly designed? Plusz it used to be everyone else copying Apple, but this time they're seriously late on everything. Glass back, edge-to-edge display, wireless charging, even pixel density to some extent.
Well, at least it seems Qi will be the standard that wins the war though.

Yes. Samsung flagships have had OLED for many years. I suspect that Samsung is the supplier for Apple for the OLED screens.
I like the idea of the cutout for the camera. That makes a lot of sense as the notification icons only need the top edges anyway.

No Touch ID on screen with all those patents so you know it's prob coming. This shit is a beta version of the one true Jesus phone

Not when you're watching a video. The option should at least be there to "square off" the screen under certain conditions for those who want it.

iOS is muuuuuuuuuuuuuuch better at RAM management than Android. 3GB is plenty ram
I too hope this is an option for videos. If it does exist; though, nobody should be surprised that Apple didn't showcase it today. That would undercut their marketing message about the phone. They didn't even really mention the notch.
iPhones have always excelled at memory management.

That top photo looks pretty great although I could do with less of that bar at the bottom.
why would that have to affect pictures/videos, specially if you're using the phone horizontally?

It's weird, on a blind test I would have said this is the IPx and the actual IPx is the cheaper phone - it really does look better, in fact I think it looks even better than the S8.Me Mix 2 is way better and cheaper.

Na I'm gonna buy it, thanks for the input tho.

but i would like to switch to IOS
why can't i have both?
For the first time in YEARS, an iPhone keynote didn't make me consider Android.
I think the 8 looks spectacular. It's what the 6's design should've been.
I think the X has so many features that differentiates it. The FaceID alone. The bezel-less screen, the bigger screen, the OLED screen, dual OIS on the rear, the better battery life. Too bad for the stainless steel sides though.
I'm in for the X.

black it is.
Euro price
This is insane. 200 more than US
Ugh, damn it. Simply can't justify spending this much on a phone right now, or probably ever. 990 euros maybe, 700-800-ish for sure after a bit of saving, but go over a thousand and I'm out.
Jumping from Android to ios will have to wait then. Maybe I'll get an S8 next.

Reeeeeally want some impressions about FaceID and its speed/success rate specifically. That's a make or break feature for me.
Okay this does look pretty damn sexy.
Looks tiny in this hands... would love an iPhone X the size of a SE for my tiny hands >_<
I'm very tempted. Hopefully the camera is as good as they say it is.

Apple users are about to find out how fucking annoying it is to have to use your face to unlock your phone in every instance.
If I wasn't able to use both the fingerprint and iris scanner simultaneously on my S8, I'd have probably disabled the iris scanner already.
