Yep, my bad. They should have stock of the 4K Apple TV's and new Studio Beats and so I'll get my fix of Apple gear regardless. I can wait until the X becomes easier to get as £250 saving is not insignificant.

Don't forget you have to declare goods over the value of £400 when coming back in to the UK and pay duty and Tax on them.

The size can get tae ****, the emoji can get tae ****, the FaceID can get tae ****.

SE 2 better not have that ********.

Is this pidgin English?

 

[Chris1712]

So the Apple TV has 4K HDR and even Dolby Vision, but can't play DTS let alone TrueHD, Master Audio or Atmos. What a joke, why.

Dropping the Touch ID is a mistake. Forcing people to unlock a phone that doesn't feel that natural.

I barely use the iris scanner on the Samsung S8 and its very quick and works 99% of the time. But the fact that you have to point it in your face feels like so much more work. Having Touch ID you unlock it without having to think about unlocking.

 

[dannyjo22]

Wow they only knocked £50 off the 7.

 

[wozza2k]

Going HK in December so would be either £700 or £950 for the 256 8 or x, tempted by the 8 if anything atm.

 

[Regy53]

Have had android since i can remember but earlier this year one of my employees left and i took a plunge and stuck my sim into his iphone 6 company phone. Mainly for camera use, it always took better pics than my sony z5compact.

Anyhow were due upgrades this month, Will this iphone 8 (4.7) be loads better than the iphone 6?

 

[Cryfreeman]

So from all that (correct me if wrong) The 8 is the X inside a 7 body? So X camera, cpu..gpu but with wireless charging over a 7? Under screen finger print scanner wold of made this far easier

Faster, better camera but basically the exact same experience.

 

[wozza2k]

Did they say it was a better camera? Thought it was the same optics and same aperture?

 

[kibblerok]

Not a fan of the mirror edges on the X either - do the images make this look worse than it actually is?

 

[jrodga2k5]

Same 12MP but it's a new sensor.

 

[Mr_Cool]

Im starting the think £575 for the 8 is looking far better value.

The 8 is £699

Which is meh considering I got my 7 128GB for £699 with more storage.

 

[robfosters]

The 8 is £699

Yeah, I was thinking US prices for some stupid reason. Still would rather pay that than a grand for the X though. I could use the extra £300 to go towards a new CPU and mobo bundle that I urgently need.

I'm more annoyed you need to pay the 128GB price for 64GB now...

 

[squerble]

I'm mostly annoyed by the price shift and only offering 64GB/256GB. I'm running a 64GB 6S now, and the 8 would have been the ideal next phone if it had 128GB. But now I'd have to to pay £849 for it in 256GB for futureproofing, which is a bit ouch.

 

[DIABLO]

It maps your face in 3D via 30,000 data points using infra-red and another camera - it's even more secure than your fingerprint, supposedly.

I couldn’t care less if it is I want the simplicity of Touch ID.

 

[Begbie]

The iPhone won't stutter unlike the Samsung

It's laggy!

In fact the only non laggy non iPhone phone I've used was the pixel but that's full of bugs

The S7 is in no way laggy. Maybe it is if your trying to justify spending £1000 on a phone that the main new 'feature' doesn't even work, then yeah fair enough.

 

[RJC]

I am not sure if I can away with 64gb.

 

[Robert]

Watch S3 for me...but alu or SS?

Also think I'll get the TV 4k.
