Posted November 4, 2017 I'd love to here the explaination behind "scam". You can argue it being a bad value or making compromises you disagree with, but I fail to see how it could possibly be a scam.

Posted November 4, 2017 I don't have much of an opinion yet. Yes I know, all the news has been out for a long time, etc etc. I don't keep up with Apple that much so I have no real idea of what's going on, just a basic understanding. So far, I feel like it's drastically overpriced, I would never pay $1000 for a phone that spec-wise is basically the same as what came before it(the iPhone 8/8+) Quote or tag me( @Crunchy Dragon) if you want me to see your reply If a post solved your problem/answered your question, please consider marking it as "solved" Community Standards // Join Floatplane!

Posted November 4, 2017 I'm still waiting to see how the display works. I thought I had heard and seen demos already but perhaps those were not "official". If it works the way I hope, it could be cool, but if it works the way I fear it might... let's just say new ground will have been broken lol Solve your own audio issues | First Steps with RPi 3 | Humidity & Condensation | Sleep & Hibernation | Overclocking RAM | Making Backups | Displays | 4K / 8K / 16K / etc. | Do I need 80+ Platinum?

Posted November 4, 2017 not a scam. it's the best piece of hardware apple has ever made, and if I were an iPhone user, it would definitely be the phone I'd buy. compared to the iPhone ecosystem, it's incredible. however, it's not my god, since I'm an android user due to it's flexibility (to be clear, not really fanboying -- I reevaluate the pros/cons of IOS and Android every time I buy a phone, and always find android is better for me). so not my god, but really damn good in comparison to other iPhones, and actually really damn good hardware compared to everything else QUOTE/TAG ME WHEN REPLYING Spend As Much Time Writing Your Question As You Want Me To Spend Responding To It. If I'm wrong, please point it out. I'm always learning & I won't bite.

Posted November 4, 2017 Serious note, though. The 8 should have been what the X was. Apple's fault for stagnating with the 'S' variants and then pulling a Microsoft with the skipping number scheme.

Although I would have really liked an X with a lower resolution LCD screen for $150 less.

Posted November 4, 2017 Neither. I’m not the biggest fan of the iPhone X but I also don’t think it’s a profound piece of shit. It’s a very good phone albeit one with polarizing changes for some (especially me) and also priced well into gaming PC territory. Would I buy one? No, I’d probably wait until next year so Apple can refine and polish whatever rough edges could be there.

Posted November 4, 2017 Even if I liked iOS I wouldn't want the X because it doesn't have a finger print sensor Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/855031-iphone-x-opinion/#findComment-10649487 Share on other sites More sharing options...
