I probably won't get the iPhone X but may get the 8+ cos I like the bigger screen
There again wait for a year and the iPhone 11 will be out and they'll be giving the iphone X away (well sorta)
I'd still be interested to hear of anyone's experience with the new phone though

You're actually going to get one! #moreMoneyThanSense

Yes. I didn't upgrade last time, but the missus did. Ive suffered the ignomy for a full year and it's not nice. Very shortly I'll be top dog again.

Highlighting that you have more money than sense is not breaking news.

You must unlearn what you have learned. Being the one with the older phone makes you a better individual than the muppet that feels the need to constantly upgrade.

Probably the most comprehensive review out there that I've seen.

Not many full reviews out there at the moment due to the limited time the device has been available, but this is a more balanced Q&A:

Problems with apps not adapting to the 'notch', the face ID not recognising people in certain conditions, and the iPhone not being as easy to use as it once was.

If you already have a perfectly capable iPhone, there's nothing that I see here that warrants an upgrade.

Even Steve Wozniak isn't upgrading:

I still can't get over how bad that notch looks! Every time you go landscape, to watch a video for example, you have a cut out on the side of your screen.

If I were to buy an iPhone, I would more more likely to buy the iPhone 8 Plus for the screen real estate without the notch.

But, I think Apple could release a turd and their share prices would still jump. :shit:

I'm more than happy with my 256 7 plus, I only got it in July. Unfortunately my 6 was knackered and I simply couldn't put up with it for a few more months.

If I had waited though I think I would've gone for the 8 plus rather than the X. Gonna have to wait and see what next year brings!

Come on, when I rock up to the craft beer bar, or third wave coffee shop, and plonk my X on the table (I’ll probably give it The Liam Gallagher “come on”s as well) do you really think my friends will look at me and think they’re “better individuals”? No, of course they won’t.

You remind me of the school nurse telling school children that their nits only like clean hair.

I'm confused. You rightly mock the notion, yet you want to go with it anyway?

Similar happened in this office... until it got out that one of the girls involved in the mocking spent £900 on a handbag last weekend. I won't be buying an iPhone X, but I don't see splashing out on having the latest phone as a status symbol as any different from splashing out on [insert any accessory here] for exactly the same reason...

Just under $1500 in BC.
Insane.

My 6 is on it's way out, getting slow and sluggish.
No chance I'll be paying anywhere near the above for a new phone.

Someone came in to the office today with a brand new Iphone X, dropped it whilst showing off and completely wrecked it.

No insurance either.

My 6 was on deaths door and I had to bite the bullet this week.

Just got a 7 - £500 instead of £300 more for pretty much the same phone.
