iPhone X first impressions

I cant wait man
$40 a fucking month lease
Sounds like those apps need to update to support both fingerprint and Face ID
EDIT: Actually no need to update. Apple says any app that supports Touch ID should automatically work with Face ID... probably using some common API that just taps into whatever's enabled on the device
With a simple glance, Face ID securely unlocks your iPhone X. You can use it to authorize purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and payments with Apple Pay. Developers can also allow you to use Face ID to sign into their apps. Apps that already support Touch ID will automatically support Face ID.

This thing is going to be a pain in the butt (compared to TouchID) for people who don't want to use FaceID.
If you buy the iPhone X you are a damn fool. Bend over
The iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus finally delivered fast charging to the iPhone range years after most of Apple’s rivals. It was essential. Apple makes solid claims about performance too saying it will provide a 50% charge in just 30 minutes.
But there’s a problem: this won’t happen out the box.
Yes, despite Apple pricing its new iPhones as high as $1,149, not a single one of the new iPhones will come with a fast charger as standard. This is because Apple will continue to bundle the Lightning to USB-A charger regardless of model or storage capacity and fast charging will require a more powerful Lightning to USB-C charger.
Needless to say, that doesn't come cheap.
Apple currently sells three different Lighting to USB Type-C chargers, the 29W A1540, 61W A1718 and 87W A1719 and they retail for $49, $69 and $79 respectively. Furthermore, the chargers all have mixed reviews on Apple’s site. Why? Because none of them come with a cable.
And you will need one because the bundled Lightning to USB-A cable won’t fit. Of course, Apple sells individual Lighting to USB-C cables in 1 meter and 2-meter variants and they cost $25 and $35 respectively. So this means users will need to pay a minimum of $74 to add fast wired charging to a new iPhone - that’s a total outlay of $1,224 in the case of the 256GB iPhone X.
Expect to wait! Because that’s probably not the end of your costs.
While Apple confirmed to me the requirements for iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus fast wired charging, it has yet to confirm whether the Qi-compatible wireless charging of the new models will be compliant with Qi’s existing 15W fast wireless charging standard. AppleInsider explains users may instead require ‘AirPower’ certified devices (Apple’s customisation of the Qi standard) for a premium wireless charging experience.

If out of the box the phone charges at around the same speed that my current iPhone charges, this would be far from a deal breaker FOR ME.
However, those prices for fast chargers and the respective cords are RIDICULOUS.
BGOL accountants
Lmao!!!!
It's not a lease, it's a 0% purchase. That's what I did through Apple.
Fuck fingerprint sensors on all phones, fuck face recognition.
If the po-po wants to unlock your phone and it's not password protected, they don't have to compel
you, they just use your body part.
I would get either, probably the X, but not for faceid.

BGOL accountants and android fan boys unite!
The point is the fast charger, cord, and wireless earbuds should be standard with these phones.
Apple continues this bullshit because people blindly buy the iPhone.
Hyundai took away the spare tire on their lower models to save money and people said fuck that and stopped buying. The spare tire is back

He did a nice job. Very informative and clearly done. I think I will like this phone
Why do you care
You're a grown woman, right? Don't you have some other shit to worry about?
999 for the 64GB
1149 for the 256GB
Optional
Faster charging card and port - $100
Then either Applecare+ $199 or insurance
Case - $30-$50
No one’s “blindly” buying anything. Stop exaggerating.
I agree the wireless charging not being included is kind of a ripoff- especially considering the cost of purchasing it from Apple. Props to Samsung for bundling wireless charging with their flagship phones.
3rd party companies will doubtless come out with lower priced charging gear for the new iPhones.
iPhones come with standard earbuds and an adapter.
The Pixel 2, which also has no headphone jack doesn’t come with any earbuds at all - only an adapter for standard earbuds.
That’s a lot of extra money spent.
However, phone cases don’t have to cost nearly as much as you estimated if bought on Amazon or eBay. Probably, the same will apply when it comes to 3rd party fast charging.

Interesting.
Are you joking?
Apple fans don't blindly buy the iPhone? Cmon...
A study that will make blindly loyal Android fanboys giddy with glee has found that a huge chunk of iPhone owners admit to being blindly loyal to Apple, willing to buy just about anything the Cupertino, California-based consumer technology giant slaps an Apple logo on.
The study was conducted by SIMOnlyContracts.co.uk, and it involved polling 2,000 iPhone owners.
About 60% of those polled admitted to having a “blind loyalty” to Apple and even more — 78% — said they “couldn’t imagine having a different type of phone” than an iPhone. Interestingly, however, just half of respondents said they were “really impressed” by Apple’s iPhone.
So where is the exaggerating?
fyi, I have only used iPhones. My kids have had Samsungs and I don't like them at all. But I am not spending $1500 because apple is trying to bleed us. That's my line.
I don't know what I will do when the iPhone 8 becomes obsolete.
Ok. I bought through Apple. You can get a new phone every year and it’s no interest.
Ahh here comes the bitch trump supporter.Why do you care
You're a grown woman, right? Don't you have some other shit to worry about?
Why do you care that I dislike companies bleeding their customers. I didn't reply to you...you replied to me. Dipshit
Yea after 12 lease payments i can give the phone back and get a new one.
What is apple charging?
$55/mo for the biggest Iphone X, including Apple care.
