Who’s getting one?

[TripleOne]

Yeah it’s a really tough cookie LOL. I actually like the red in the crown, think it looks kind of cool. But being able to listen Music from my wrist over LTE, that’s dope!

Yup!
I can’t afford both the Space Black and the X. I have to choose one. First world problems

LOL, right?! I’m on the iPhone upgrade program so I plan on doing that with the X and I plan on keeping the X for at least two years.

 

[wobdot1972]

Well I've made my decision and none of the new iPhones impress me so I've order a Samsung S8 plus, now I need to sell my iPhone 6s plus

Cool! Enjoy your new S8 Plus

 

[Vargur78]

Not this year for sure. They have time till next September to figure out how to hide this ugly black misconception under the screen. Keeping my SE for another year definitely.

 

[TwitchyPuppy]

Nope.
I feel that I can’t justify paying an extra $300 to not have a Home Button and get Animoji.
The X is an overpriced gimmick, as far as I’m concerned.

 

[Spencerdl]

Yes, I'm getting the X

 

[DarkKnight08]

Definitely getting one! Not bothered about the face id, screen size, cutout at the top of the screen. Just want the camera. I have a 7. I don't want a 7 plus or 8 plus size phone. I want a phone the same or similar size to the phone I have now but with the better camera. This is the ONLY reason I upgrade my iPhone.

This right here. I had the 6s Plus for a year and it was just too big. Love the 7, but the dual camera on the X has me sold.

 

[TheLegoJoker]

If I get an iPhone this year it will be the 8 plus but I’m heavily leaning toward either the Note 8 or keeping my 7 plus. Just not interested in what the X has to offer, especially for the price.

That's exactly how I feel. Who wants to pay an extra $300 for a phone just for Animoji? Who's going to like that except maybe teens?

I also feel like Animoji actually kind of defeat the purpose of Emojis. Animoji is like wearing a mask in public. You look like a fool and in this case everyone also knows who you are. But to each their own. This is clearly not targeted at professionals.

 

[anon(5630457)]

This is clearly not targeted at professionals.

I just made that exact comment in another thread. I use my phone for business and the Animojis are so unbusiness-like it's ridiculous.

If I were looking to get an iPhone for business, it'd definitely be the 8 Plus.

The last time a company targeted to only one segment, the so-called prosumer market, its OS died a painfully slow death. Actually it's still on life support.

An OS needs to make the transition from business to play, and back again.
My business iPhone is all business because it was handed to me as a business tool, but that is not the case for everyone. Some people use one device for all purposes. So if a person sends a **** emoji to their significant other, that person should be able to access gotomeeting the next day or edit excel spreadsheets on the fly.

The day a company creates an operating system that targets itself out of the flexibility to do both, it will go the way of those who previously made that mistake.

 

[tcuprof]

I'm not interested in the 8, so it's X or nothing. The botched Face ID demo does worry me.

It wasn’t botched. The only thing that happened was the phone required the passcode to enable FaceID much like what happens with TouchID after the phone restarts or after 48 hours. It worked every time after that. I don’t understand why nobody gets this.

Because I find it inconceivable that no one had prepped that phone.

That prompt immediately showed up on the screen after he attempted it. I mean there is such a thing as human error.

 

[tcuprof]

Is there such as a thing as a HUMONGOUS human error? :laughing:

 

[flyinion]

Definitely planning on going for the X in 64GB to replace my 7+ in 128 (I'm not even using anywhere near 64GB after a year on my 7+ just couldn't do 32 on it). It's the larger screen size, and of course bigger than the 7/8+ even but in a size almost the size of the non plus models which is what I've been hoping Apple would do since I jumped ship from being a longtime Android user 2 years ago. I'm also on the Upgrade Program so it's ridiculously easy to just say "I'm getting it" anyway. However once I get it I could see myself holding onto it through the next cycle unless there's something really compelling again (like 7 vs X etc.). If it's just a "minor" update like 7 to 8 then I'll probably skip and maybe finally grab a Watch.

The only thing I need to figure out in advance is color. I'm tempted by the white with the black face but the chrome band looks a little over the top. I can't find a good pic/video/whatever yet that shows a hands on with the space gray one to see if it's also a chrome band or not though. Everyone is showing off all the angle of the white one. What angles I've seen it looks like it might be a black stainless like the watches use which would look nice for sure.

Getting a X 64 in space great with a Apple OEM leather case and will be the first in line on Oct 27th.
