Personally I'm more interested in a watch that I can make calls with and ditch my phone.
- It has cellular so it does that. No?monospaced
- Thats why I'm more interested in the new watch than the new phones?instrmntl
- Yep. Getting one for my 8 y/o for swim practice and it's cheaper than another phone and plan (only $10 a month supposedly)fyoucher1

OMFG this is what a fullscreen video looks like on the iPhone X
the "dent" stays! it doesn't resize the video to prevent the weird cropping...
- the dent will be the downfallPonyBoy
- You can double tap to resize. The notch still looks freaking ridic though.BusterBoy
- They should have worked harder on finding away for the screen to sit on top of the lens, which sounds like a ridiculous task, but makes the cost bearable.Bullitt
- The future is a phone with double display front and back. Back display strictly used for video calls and 'selfies'
Then doing away with 2 dedicated camera'sBullitt - I'm sure they scale fullscreen video down just a bit so it doesn't do that. Perhaps that's an option.fyoucher1
- @fyoucher1: this is from the demo at the event. He was showing off the video feature...zarkonite
- Is that a small earthquake on the West Coast, or is Jobs' corpse about to go critical because it's spinning so much?detritus
- *crowd goes nutsgrotesk_neue
- I really hope they crash and fizzle out with this one
....saying that, I'll be switching back from Android to apple with the iphone 7!futurefood

I think I have an iPhone 6, don't really know or care. They all look the same, feel the same. Mine still looks brand new too...

So whats the new deal?
- Face recognition and no home button only on the x?
- The 8 is just a camera upgrade? no face recognition?
- Are they bringing back the Apple Cube? lol
---
I guess I should watch the full thing. I only saw the emoji part.
- APPLE CUBE!!!pango
- The X is profoundly disappointing, it's an average design. The Essential Phone does the whole front-as-screen thing in a much tidier package.face_melter
- But FaceID blah blah blah. The system is a cludge and creates a problem that didn't exist.face_melter

Not sure how I would have reacted 20 years ago if someone told me I would have to buy a $600 phone every year, and not only that but the phones will spy on me and collect all of my private information and constantly track me.
- who says you have to?juanluisgarcia
- every year? dammmmn.pango
- I usually wait 3 years or so.dbloc
- Same, I have an iPhone 5. Even 3 years is crazy. I'm trying to minimalise.instrmntl

You know who's buying this phone first? Just to have a rant with the new aniemoji

The iPhone will be a decent machine, everyone can decide if its worth to them or not. Most will be sold in contracts anyways. But What I will not do, is put an always on infrared night vision camera in my fucking sleeping room.
I can turn off touch ID if I want. I can be sure that unlocking Touch ID takes some effort. But all it takes to unlock my hypothetical iPhone X is steel it from my desk and pretend to take a selfie with me. This is going too far for me.
- No always listening speakers in my living room like Alexa
- No laptop cameras pointing at me all the time
- No night vision camera in my bedroom (wtf apple)I'm not paranoid. Its been known for several years that basically any government is able to access any of your hardware.
- yeah but ar!!!! animated turds!!! new gesture control!!! zomg how can you not???¿¿¿¿?hans_glib
- ar has been proven to be useless and shitty in 2012 alreadymekk
- I wonder if the FaceID only works on faces - is it capable of ID'ing your foot, hand, or, even... wait for it... waaaait...
Your ear!face_melter - ^ HAHA. Yea AR is a parlour trick that wears off after 13secs.Hayzilla
- that ar game they showed was total pants. wandering around an empty table top like a moron. ffs.hans_glib
- You can always get an 8 that doesn't have that stuff.monospaced
- or just stick with what you have alreadyhans_glib
- Fuck, that reminds me - whilst clearing out for my recent move I found my old iPhone 3G - fucking tiny wee thing. Need an old-style cable to charge it though :/face_melter
- Most won't be sold in contracts. I don't know if any carrier in the US even offers that anymore. It's payment plans now.formed
- in my opinion, these payment plans are just a new name for contracts ... the idea is pretty much the same baking the phone cost into the monthly chargesmonospaced
- yep - I haven't paid more than handset RRP on last 3 plans. Don't get this moaning about paying way more on contract - o2 changed it years ago now. I only payfadein11
- the RRP of handset spread out with call plan.fadein11

lol iphone X. The black bits around the edge and top. Looks like some 2011 motorola...
- I know I'm beating a dead horse but everything apple seem to have done since Jobs died is tacky, design by committee type shite. Shameset
- for once we agreefadein11
- most notably this has happened to their software. its a clustered mess of different UIs, services tied together with no reason. It has lost the Apple experiencemekk
- Yes I was mainly talking about the software. iOS is HORRIBLE compared to Android now. Truly horrible.set
- and fadein my darling we agree on a lot I'm sureset

I've never really monitored price of phones. Do apple reduce the price at all? Say, in January, will the iPhone 8 come down in price? Does that happen now at all?
- dunno but i'm hoping the se will take a hithans_glib
- Usually Apple doesn't drop prices until next version is out — ie. now they surely have dropped the iPhone 7 price.sr_rosa
- Thought as much. Cheers srHayzilla
- Independent retailers occasionally drop the prices - Webhallen stores in Sweden have deals now and then - 500-1000kr off.face_melter

Buying a new iphone now is the equivalent of paying £2000 for an ugly, uncomfortable leather jacket because it's made my Gucci. Only idiots do that.
Go and buy a cheaper, better looking, better fitting jacket elsewhere.

Can you unlock it with a helmet/goggles on? Or do I always have to take them off first? Like when snowboarding, motorcycling, etc.?
- just wear the helmet the first time you register...I'm planing of using an f-society mask to register.uan
- So every F-Society-Member can unlock your phone? Not sure you thoght that through. :)Longcopylover
- I never pass lock my phones...it's a faster UX without the lockuan
- but yeah, basically every f-society mask guy could unlock it if ever locked, but who says someone knows about it...except of this sidenote :)uan
- I wish I could spend most of my life wearing snowboard goggles and a helmet for this to be a problemMiguex
- Noone keeps you from wearing goggles and helmets all the time. :)Longcopylover
- indeed, nor do you really need to snowboard with a helmet on, lets face it, I'm no halldor helgason and will never be..Miguex

iOS is the worst thing ever. Once you adopt Android its almost impossible to go back to iOS.
- Every time I have to use my ipad for stuff other than the only reason I bought it (music apps, for which it's great) I want to tear my hair outset
- Not really if you're a cognitive human being with working eyes, brain, and hands. It's not something to get het up about, to be honest.face_melter
- ^ Fanboy alert.set
- If it's something I have to use, any time, let alone every single day... I want it to work, and work nicely and intuitively.set
- iOS does not do this.
Android does.set - ‘Cognitive human being with working eyes, brain, and hands’ sound like a lot of requirements.sr_rosa
- It's ugly. It's unintuitive. It's buggy. It lacks many very obvious and useful options which android has.set
- It's become the same as the difference between using mac and windows was 5-10 years agoset
- Amen Set - loving your work today ha. Whenever I use an iPad for testing it's painful... but yes better music apps.fadein11
- Personally, I really don't like android, it drove me nuts. Though you don't see me (or others) choking up android threads ranting about how great iOS is.inteliboy
- ios has totally become the Windows of 5-10 years ago. a bloated, unintuitive mess.fadein11
- how do you know if someone uses android? they'll tell you.inteliboy
- lol - like apple fanboys didn't do that for yearsfadein11
- I was on ios way longer than Android. I prefer Android. For lots of reasons.section_014
- Once you have a BACK button, you can't go back. I toss my ipad aside after the first time I have to close/open to get anywhere.formed
- is android the new, vegan?Gnash
- I'm just trying to empower people to live a healthier, easier, more intuitive, apple and cruelty free life.set
- There's really no need to kill and eat dead animals anymoreset
- What are we talking about againset
- hahaGnash
- Its obvious iOS users will defend iOS, if you dont know Android you'll defend what you know and use. I was defending Apple and iOS when I was using Apple stuff.Bennn
- @formed SO true, the back button is a bliss. Impossible to work without it once you get use to this.Bennn
- Like it matters which OS you prefer - an endeavour almost as pointless as counting rice.face_melter
- I used and enjoyed iOS when it was better than android, many moons ago. I have zero bias... and why anyone would is beyond me...set
- Yep - I have used both. Android overtook ios a long time ago.fadein11
- One thing that annoyed me was trying to connect my iphone to my mac and it said it was out of date and incompatible. Went on a forum for help and everyone...PhanLo
- ..just kept telling me to buy a new phone and stop being such a tramp. I like using mac stuff but the consumer cult thing is weird.PhanLo

Wait the iPhone 8 is was also announced yesterday? I thought we were already at 8? Which one is the one when they ditched the audio jack? 6? 7?
- they did not bring audio jack back in iphone 8?drgs
- I don't think he said they did?fadein11
- They ditched it in the 7. The iPhone 8 did come out yesterday. It's basically the 7, plus a new processor and better camera, etc.monospaced
- fadein11.... notice drgs' question mark
=Pset - @set - lol. "they did not bring jack back in iphone8?" makes pretty much no sense. Of course they didn't bring it backfadein11
- i was so sure they recognized this mistakedrgs
- Google's ditching the headphone jack in the next Pixel. I believe Samsung will start doing it soon, as well.monospaced
- They should have brought it back.set
- I'm happy to trade the audio jack for a decent pair of wireless buds.. but the alternative just plain sucksmekk

Android is the worst thing ever. Once you adopt iOS its almost impossible to go back to Android.
- I just wanted to share some perspective on how meaningless statements like these are. OS preference is purely subjective.Miguex
- I don't know, The Holocaust was pretty shitty for a lot of people.detritus
- lol :Dsted
- I experience the exact opposite of Bennn, there for rendering his statement meaningless. We are back to zero.

- detrius, indeed. Here at QBN™ we are all sorry you don't feel that way about the holocaust. But we respect your right to deny it like that.Miguex
