I don't get the wailing at the price. Everyone happily paid between $749-$899 for the current iPhone in their pocket right now.
the iphone X screen isn't even 1440p? my 2 year old phone has a higher pixel density that it.
Face ID just made it super easy for cops to unlock your phone.

I mean the Ten is technically iPhone 11 but whatever, it's more the fact they have two new products: one called 8 and one called "Ten." :lol

doesn't matter when they can just coerce you to look into your own phone :/ is the face id mandatory or not?
I'd just like to point out that my year old s7 edge has both a glass back and facial recognition
(and both suck btw)
I think I might hold off on the X and just to Apple's iPhone Upgrade Program until next year and jump onto the X-2/S/whatever

I mean, if you don't care about the screen, the 8 Plus is the exact same specs at a slightly cheaper price.
It's funny, try calling OSX "Oh Ess Ecks" at a Mac Fanboi gathering. You'll get a chorus of "It's Oh Ess TEN!" in a squeaky high register, with some voices shrilly cracking.(http://i.imgur.com/jhE3qeR.png)

They really should have just called it iPhone "Ecks", but they do indeed call it ten.
if its bigger then then the 6s/7 Im outYeah, oddly when I grab my old iPhone 5S, I prefer its more manageable size to my 6.
I was really tempted to get an S8 but I don't like Samsung's shell on top of Android and I want a phone that behaves with my Apple Watch.

Not sure on that, so far this is the only one they've put out (17 months ago) but I hope it stays updated. I only just switched back to ios from android recently but I was actually glad to go back to a smaller phone from the 5.7" one I was using before.

The thing is, I DO care about the screen. :-\
It's the screen I've wanted for the last like 5 years. I was really tempted to get an S8 but I don't like Samsung's shell on top of Android and I want a phone that behaves with my Apple Watch.

I'm seriously more likely to wait for a smaller phone. I don't need a mini-tablet.
Does the SE get regular, minimal spec changes to stay current, or is it a dead-end vein despite its lack of number?

The amount of hidden gestures needed to move around the OS (swipe "halfway" up for multitasking… what??) feels too “mystery meat” for me.
Like I get they don't want to seem like they're copying Android and doing a software home button, but... yeah I dunno. I'm sure people will get used to it but these things having no/very little on-screen UI could be a nightmare for normies.

The X looks rushed really. My bet is in a year or two, the selfie camera and the fingerprint sensor will find their way under the screen (apparently that tech exists but isn't at mass production stage yet).
I'd recommend the iPhone upgrade program or just get a Pixel XL2. Have you ever used an Android phone daily?
iOS 10 already had the rather flimsy iCloud Drive for getting at your files, but the Files app in iOS 11 is much better—it lets you browse through files stored in iCloud, on the local device, and even in third-party services like Dropbox, all through one simple interface. It almost feels like a real computer!
Didn't catch the 4K freebie news; makes it an instabuy for me. I have probably 100+ movies on iTunes. :doge

Despite the strength of its brand, Apple Inc. occasionally releases a product to mediocre reviews – remember the original Apple TV or Apple Watch? But reviewers have rarely been as grumpy as this month, when Apple unveiled its collection of new gadgets for the holidays.
Each product was docked by reviewers for specific functional flaws, ranging from the iPhone 8’s middling design to Apple Watch Series 3 issues with wireless connectivity, and quality problems with the Apple TV 4K's video output.
Now, you do get a lot for that $179: the Apple TV is currently the only standalone box that supports the Dolby Vision HDR standard, which is a big deal. (The $69 Chromecast Ultra supports it, but it’s spotty and it lacks its own interface.)
I'm so reluctant to install iOS 11 on my devices. point-oh releases are never a good idea, even with Apple. Still, anecdotal evidence from friends says it's safe. I'm torn!
This is ios11? Man I thought it was ios8; I'm so far behind on firmware updates :lol
Apple TV 4k SUCKS :-X What a fuck up of a device. HDR is either turned on or off essentially and there is no good fix right now. Thus making the device useless since everything that isn't HDR content looks like shit!
This is ios11? Man I thought it was ios8; I'm so far behind on firmware updates :lol
Still a software update, just at the OS level. I bit and now my old 5S isn't chugging as much as it was. My iPad Air 2 is about 80% through the install now.
My "older" devices were really feeling slow prior to this update. Super annoyingly slow. Now I wonder if Apple messing with things behind the scenes.
Rental report of The Mummy 4k HDR:badass
PQ on this release on Apple TV 4k was awesome so much higher bitrate than Vudu or Google Play. Defacto 4k rentals are gonna be iTunes for sure due to price and the fact they seem to not crush blacks at all due to higher bitrates. Even in motion you could tell the detail is there unlike other streaming services which suck for 4k rentals.

Do it! 11 is rock solid and been the best OS update I've seen from Apple in years. If you have an older device you'll notice a nice little jump in performance too.

Edit: I watched it on UHD....
:lol

Yeah I know I should have known better. We watched a few more 4k movies and the bitrate is higher than Google/Vudu that much I can say. Missus was fucking with me really good for a day... Got her back by getting her a 8+ and not a X. I'll be getting an X. :D
Glad to see the pricing wars have begun! Now if only a digital locker system similar to Disney Movies Anywhere would just be the norm. I've got lots of movies on Vudu that I don't have on iTunes and if the quality thing keeps being an issue I'd like to watch my movies on iTunes instead.
Well what did you say? Yes or no?
it's because they're launching a watch specific version of Apple Music in the late fall, I think
not excusing it, but it IS gonna come back
Amazon Prime Music's mobile app design is also fucking terrible. The actual UI seems ok, but the UX is atrociousAmazons apps are trash across the board.
