#442Does it mean that the next version will be called Iphony ?
iPhone X Cheetah.
Re: iPhone X
#443Why are people comfortable carrying a $1000 piece of equipment that can be dropped or stolen in an instant in their pocket? My Nexus6p takes great pictures, runs everything smoothly, and I don't have to freak out as much if the $350 suddenly vanishes.
Most people don't pay anywhere near to the unlocked retail price of the phone (so they don't consider it to be a $1,000 device), and many have insurance. If I drop my iPhone (which I paid about $100 for out of pocket after rebates/incentives/trade-in/etc), it's a $99 deductible.
Re: iPhone X
#444Do you think phones are a "done" thing? I mean what we are seeing these days is more of an evolution than revolution. With iPhone X I think we know what the phone industry will move towards for next 4 years. All these features are cool and somewhat exciting but nothing groundbreaking that will change computing/communications forever. VR was supposed to be the game changer but it appears that it will also take around…
I really wish a phone company would just make a "macbook pro" of the phone world. Something where the hardware and battery can keep up with the OS for the next 4 years. Something where every new OS release isn't destroying my performance, and maybe even MAKING my performance better. We are getting all this new tech in the phone space, faster processors, more ram, etc. But prices keep going up for "premium" experience…

I'm still using a 6 year old iPhone on the current OS without problems. And battery is working fine too.

#445I can't wait to see the Youtube videos of people 'taking a selfie' just to unlock their iPhones
Re: iPhone X
#446I'm wondering if it's easier or harder for cops to forcefully unlock your phone using faceID or touchID
This actually raises an interesting question. I say it's easier to do it since there appears on the surface to be less opportunity to mess up as with touch. Sure you could make a face etc but that just seems easier to do in stealth (not seen by cops as doing so) with a finger. [1]
Edit: As only one example you could in theory program a finger that wouldn't typically be used with touch id.
Re: iPhone X
#447I have a suspicion that removing the home button and relying on swipe-interactions might be a step back in usability for the non-tech savvy people who have made up a large share of iPhone users.

"non-tech savvy"? I write software for the damned things, and my first thought was, "oh, great, more obscure swipe gestures to try and memorize." As an added bonus, the control center is now a swipe from the top, not the bottom like it's been for the last, what, five versions?
Re: iPhone X
#448Being that it is the 10th anniversary, I was hoping they will come out with something ground-breaking. iPhone X seems like a good phone. But it's just a better iPhone 7.
Re: iPhone X
#449These keynotes were magical before leakers leaked everything. I'm wondering if Apple should scrap these and aim for smaller, unplanned releases instead. As far as this phone goes, I am really excited to see how it stacks up to the Galaxy S8. Face ID is incredibly enticing, but Samsung Pay is much more universal. The only thing that is making me want to retreat back to an iPhone is its inferior Bluetooth audio quality…
Yeah the leaks gave this entire presentation away. We are at peak Apple. If I may borrow a similar peak story I'd look at Microsoft and the release of Windows XP. Balmer banked on that cash cow for far too long. Tim Cook is doing the same thing here. They need to buy Tesla and put Musk in charge of Apple. Everything they do these days is just another way to milk the money machine for them. They need a world class mic…
Ugh, no. Goodbye privacy and corporate ethics, hello creepy analytics.
