Does a case block the wireless charging?
If your case stores your credit cards on the back of the phone like I do, yes.

#12It was interesting to see how Apple tried to market the fact that you have to look at the phone for FaceID to work. I see that as a hassle, not a feature.
I don't think it went far enough. Consider the circumstance where an office or agent wants your phone unlocked. Your passcode is protected, your thumbprint is currently in debate, but holding your phone to your face? If that just always unlocked your phone without any sort of interaction from you? That's an uncomfortable level of privacy loss.

#13So many people already complaining of iPhone X black strip, how they overlook something so basic?

They did say you have to look directly at the phone. If looking away is enough to prevent it from unlocking, that doesn't seem too bad.

I bet you the Apple cases don't.

The first footnote claims an IP67 rating

I bet they still don't cover water damage.
That's what I'm afraid of. I have the 6s Plus right now and when going swimming with kids and recording stuff, I'm always terrified of dropping the phone into the water. Yet, the apple watch can be submerged fine.

Re: iPhone 8
#20No reintroduction of the headphone jack? Apple seems completely detached from the reality of what the trend setters actually desire.
Needlessly locking customers to Apple-only ecosystem of hardware since iPhone 7, Apple now signals clueless consumption rather than high-status to me.
Will be interesting to see what happens with the upcoming arrival of Pixel2.
Edit Why the downvotes? If you disagree I'd prefer (and be interested) to hear how I'm wrong, rather than drive-by downvotes with no communication.
