It looks like the 8 is a pretty pointless minor update of the 7 which was itself a pretty pointless update of the 6.. with the headphone socket omitted.

So really the X is the only significant step forward since the 6, with the lack of bezel delivering a reduced phone size, and other tech updates. It's indicative of the lack of innovation that animated emojis are given so much time in the launch- not exactly ground breaking or life changing.

The X with a decent memory is going to be £1100-£1200? A big ask even for those who want to keep up to date..

The "Apple phones are a lot more expensive" thing has long been a myth - the top iPhone costs broadly the same as the flagship Android phones of the time.
The iPhone X (5.8" display) costs £999, the Samsung S8 (5.8" display) costs £689.

That's not broadly the same.

Looks like it will parity on $ and £ prices, so £999 and £1149.

That is obscene - for a phone that will be updated within 12-18 months?

You can buy a decent laptop for that price. Trying to work out what phone to get next myself - either the Oneplus 5 thing or a cheap Chinese Android really not sure what to go for after my S6

Probably the least hype ever on this site for a new iPhone.

Seriously underwhelming.....

Wireless charging .... Way old

Edge to edge screen .... Ancient, Samsung gimmick

Erm .... Better camera and emoji's....come on, apple is dead.

One phone for me, one for the missus, a couple of chargers and cases, a few apps - I can buy a refurbed BT red telephone box for what that will cost :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Agreed. They should just pack up now and go home. They're destined to go the same way as RIM and Blackberry.

Game Over.

RIP Apple.
Bit defensive !

Ok I will rephrase. Apple innovation is dead, really really dead..... ;)
