After watching the presentation today on the new Apple products for 2017, I think the iPhone 8 has just enough features that it will draw enough folks over to upgrade. The improved camera, faster processor and wireless charging to name a few.
I feel they have the right idea only offering the 64 and 256 gig version and dropping the 128 gig option. Most consumers either want a basic phone with enough memory to handle their basic apps, photos and a few songs, so the 64 gig should be fine for that group.
The 256 gig version should be more then adequate for the power user who needs all the memory he or she can get. The price point is in line to what I expected for the new model.
Now for the iPhone X, first of all I am buying one and the $999.00 US price tag doesn't bother me. For me life is way too short and I am going to get what I want and enjoy it. You can't bury your fortune with you, so enjoy it while your on this earth, just the way I am.
I am excited about the facial recognition technology and the gesturing concept which is nothing new being I am a former Blackberry 10 user and I already used to that way of navigating on the device. I think a lot of folks who are used to unlocking their device with the home button might find this a little difficult to get use to.
As far as the new materials being used, I not all in with the all glass design, but Apple usually thinks things out pretty well on the engineering end and sounds like they used some pretty good materials and only time will time as far as the durability goes.
I am excited about the new X model and hopefully when I order mine on October 27, the website won't crash and leave me hanging like it did when I tried to order the iPhone 7 on the first day of preorder. Now it's counting every day until that day arrives.
