Poll: ** The Official iPhone X Thread **

I can see the bionic chips making their way into laptops with that performance

Future ipad pro with bionic, faceid, hdr, border less screen

Still surprised that people are surprised about the price. The rumours quite clearly states it was going to be about a grand.

The X should have been the 8. Forget all this thousand pound nonsense. The base X should be £699.

Apple are trying to become a $1tn company. You really think the X is going to be the same price as the other flagships?

Maybe the iPhone 9 will be a spec bumped X at $699

I am going to dip my toes into Android to check out the competition, see how close they are and if they are really that far behind and if the iPhone really worth the extra £800….

If you do then I'd advise getting a phone that runs stock or near stock Android. Don't just go get a Samsung and assume their version of Android is the only version.

Not this year for m

The benchmarks are in and it blows the Android competition out of the water:



On par with a MacBook Pro and twice as fast as the Samsung S8.

Nothing new here. They always do each year. And will always beat Android in unrealistic speeds tests but that's because of optimisation.

Hey ho, £1149 plus applecare+, eek!

Sweet, for all the good that is gonna do to the mobile apps? Rather have had features like touch Id and USB c than some high number on a bench that translates to no real world use :/

Is it just the images I'm seeing or is that quote a though bezel around the screen? Can't tell if it's just that the image on the device isn't filling the screen or not?

Dammmmmmmn at those benchmarks - no wonder it can do 4K60.

Some completely unfounded and silly comments in this thread.

Whats that annoying black bar for at the top?

It's got all the FaceID stuff in there, as well as speaker, microphone, light and proximity sensors etc.

With Samsung being able to charge pretty much what it wants for the screen the X was never going to be cheap.

Really adds to the movie experience on the OLED screen.....

 

[ZXSpectrum]

I have to say it looks gorgeous, the technology inside is next level (Especially the faceid stuff) but I doubt I will be getting one.. I really cannot justify paying that much for a phone, especially when I have been looking at the Xaomi Mi Mix 2 that costs almost 1/3rd of the price.

Except it doesn't scale like that with 16:9 content, you have a black bar but with it being OLED it looks just like the bezel. This point is already widely covered in tech press and initial hands on.

Defence force inbound.

By what, posting the truth?

 

[antijoke]

I guess the image above is fake then. I mean, it's cool that the £1,200 phone displays videos like that and doesn't use the whole screen.

 

[Ayahuasca]

Surely you can't be silly enough to think they'd have left the bar like that at the top covering parts of viewing content? Lol
