the 256 GB version will prob be either $1199 or $1299
Id be super surprised if it didn't
In that case, no new tech in this phone, besides the dumb looking face tracker if you want to talk like an animal, woohoo. Obviously good for their target market of millennials...

Absolutley. I think Steve Jobs is rolling in his grave if this is all they came up with for the 10 year anniversary. Its just a slimmer and sleeker version of the 6

Onm y S8 face recognition requires you to remove your glasses, so it's not really for me. I think Apple makes thing best, even if they copy others. Lets see how it works. usually they don;t release a technology unless it's 100% perfected.

Should announcement effect prices of older iPhones?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

Only new tech I really saw was the face unlock in the dark. Is that just going to be a you need a bright screen for that, or will it really work in the dark?

Seemed like there's some type of light for that.


Seems like the features the x has over the 8 are the full screen which created a need for a new unlocking system - face id - which created the need for that selfie camera. I've been using and upgrading my iPhone for a bunch of years already & I'm really not impressed. Besides for the camera the big addition (this year, not only the x) is the wireless charging which you'll prob have to shell out another nice chunk of cash. (Yes I checked the x ships with whatever iPhones have been shipping with until now.

You can use any Qi wireless charging pad, no need to get the one from apple.

This Steve Jobs worship is just ridiculous. In the early years Apple created what was basically a brand new device. It's only normal the the improvements would get less and less significant as time goes on... That says nothing about Tim Cook or however else is in charge...after all it's only a phone...

IINM Its normal for the up and down...
But ya, it fell right after they saw the unimpressive showing...
If they had something truly innovative, i believe it would have climbed right away...

Most contracts don't give discounts anymore.

This phone is going to sell like hot cakes. They could of charged $1.5k and it'd sell like hot cakes.


Mine still offers 2 year upgrade discounts. But no idea what the price will be

I love watching how each company steals each other's ideas, from Samsung 8 with no buttons to apple with no buttons.
 Any chance samsung will remove the headphone jack? (I thing that would be really stupid of them.)

 And what's the X all about? Is it like the SE which is a replica of a model already out?

The X is their latest and greatest. The 8 is a 7 with some new specs...
