I do want to replace my Roku Ultra with an Apple TV 4K 32GB and buy an Apple Watch Series 3 but not quite sure when yet.
Maybe, online rumors (just rumors) like on the Verge yesterday are staying that insiders are noting that basic stock of the X may be pushed back to 2018. I hope they're wrong. But even the 7+ did not have enough stock for launch last year. I wound up getting the 7 and not the 7+ because they were OOS in 15-min.
I am sorry that I cannot help you understand. I developed my opinions from my observations of the many available videos and photos. If you get the iPhone X, please let us know if you find the "ears" useful and how they are of benefit to you.
How is the 'notch and ears' design not an example of efficiency? The phone no longer needs to dedicate a specific part of the screen solely for the status bar, which saves some amount of space and protects against burn-in from the status bar (which is by far the most persistent part of the UI).
I don't like the fact it looks just like a Galaxy and the "Notch" is ugly as hell.
Galaxies don't have that terrible notch.

The ears are a bit annoying, but developers can work around that by putting black where the ears are and you won't notice them at all.
I like Apple products. Apple does many things with users in mind. This "notch/ears" design, however, has nothing to do with functionality, usability, or simplicity. It has everything to do with iPhone brand identity in the absence of the iconic home button. And that is my opinion.
I was thinking of getting the 8 or wait for next year’s iPhone. But man... everytime I watch a video of the X, it looks too good to be true!
Same about those videos of the X. I gotta stop watching them. Haha
I just don’t see why someone would choose the display on the iPhone X over an S8 or even an LG G6. The cut out at the top is ugly af. At this point it boils down to software and chipset and the 8 or the 7 do just fine tbh
Strongly considering holding off on an iPhone purchase altogether this year. I'm wondering if Apple will solve the fingerprint scanner under glass issue in time for next year's iPhone? I've gotten so used to using fingerprint scanners and change is hard! But knowing Apple, they may very well decide to just go all in with Face ID and never bring back Touch ID on the highest end model. Anyone one else feel the same about the Touch ID issue?
