How could you have an edge to edge screen with a home button? If you don't mind losing the home button whats wrong with the iPhone X?

Wait. Wtf? AirPower? So they're ok with Qi, but are ALSO releasing their own standard as well?

Does Apple pay people to sit in the audience and whoop and holler like dip****s.

No. People pay Apple to sit in the audience and whoop and holler like dip****s.

Not super clear if AirPower is a separate standard. Could that just be the name of their Qi pad?

It's a multidevice charging implementation that they are working with the Qi standards body to integrate into the Qi standard.

I thought it was the integrated charge monitoring on the phone.

Yeah, if it was going to be available at the same time, I'd be tempted, but now I think I might ride it out with my 7 Plus.

Ahh, okay. I had to hop on a conference call in the middle of that and missed that part.

This is how I'm looking at it. Was really hoping for 128GB for $1000. I'll still probably just get the X anyways

At least a 10/27 preorder date gives us more time to evaluate to X and see how well the Face ID actually works in the wild, assuming Apple lets reviewers actually have them ahead of time.

I'll be preordering an 8+ on Friday. I'm so ready to ditch my 6 that's got a quickly fading battery.

Yeah, I think it's a no brainer for someone with a 6, but I'm not sure the 8 Plus is enough to ditch my 7 Plus.

I'll be ditching my 6s for the X, I think.

I want at least 128 gigs of storage. Really depends on the delta between the 256 8 plus and the 256 X, since neither will be offered in 128.

I ordered a new battery for my 6 last week, hopefully that will solve the draining issues I'm having if I decide to hold out for the X.

Unless something bad happens, I'm riding my 6s Plus for another year. And even if it croaked, I'd only go 8 Plus. Just not enough in the X to convince me that it's worth $1k.

Yea, I have the 1 yr Next program so I can just give AT&T my 7 for the 8 if I wanted to and still pay the same monthly. New portrait mode is cool but that's about it. Who wireless charges?

I don't understand why they went 64/256. I love the 128 size I have in the 7. But I just looked at the prices for the 7 and 7 plus and it looks like it was a $100 increase between the size tiers (when there were three tiers). So expect a $200 increase when you go from 64gb to 256gb.

If the price difference is only $150-$200 bucks, I'll probably go with it just for the novelty. I had just about convinced myself to go with the 7 when I realized that I am THAT ready to go to something with wireless charging.

Hoping other retailers will drop the price of the Series 2 to sell it off. I was hoping for a continuation with it and a $100 price drop. They're keeping the Series 1! Yuck!
