Did they mention the refresh rate of the X anywhere? I'm typing this on my 12.9" 2nd Gen iPad Pro and ProMotion is a subtle but 'once you've got it you don't want to go back' thing for me.
Soldato
Hilarious that you post that when for years you’ve been able to hold a drunk persons finger on the fingerprint reader...
Nah, only mentioned TruTone unfortuately. I imagine they'd have mentioned ProMotion if it had it. No mention of it on the specs page either.
But a phone costing a few hundred quid does exactly the same thing for what the majority of users use their phone for (mail, Facebook, iMessage/snapchat/whatsapp etc)

In terms of unlocking the phone I still think Face ID is more complicated to Touch ID.
Have nothing against anything else, I expect terrible battery life, i expect Apple Tax, I expect the same form factor but I do hope for better user experience.
If I am sitting down somewhere and want to sneak look at my phone, I sure am not looking directly at it, no way it can recognise me from my waist looking up from the side.

Then just press the finger print sensor on the back of the device... oh right it's not there
Storage on the X is pathetic.
Base should have been 128Gb for that price.
But I think I'll cave in and buy it, well I have over a month to decide.
Do I drop down to 64GB or opt for he 256GB.
Do I buy it all outright or do I go on the payment plan.
For the 64GB your looking at £56 per month on the upgrade programme. Or £43 on the standard payment plan.
Either way I can't believe I'm considering even spending so much, I need to go to sleep.

I've just realised that the dimensions of the X are exactly what I was wanting. Always thought the plus versions were too big yet the X now has a bigger screen than the plus yet is almost the same dimensions as my iPhone 7. That is what makes it so tempting. It literally is just this Face ID thing...
Soldato
No doubt holding it off till next year to give you a reason to upgrade...
Made a thread for the X here: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/the-official-iphone-x-thread.18792905/
It's looking better in the hands-on previews, very sleek.

I think the FaceID has put me off it also

I think im missing something. The X signifies a generational leap but from looking at the apple store prospectus of the phone Apple seem a tad behind the curve to other manufacturers.
Im sure it will sell (of course), but would have expected more.

Hopefully you'll get some impressions from the hands-on area being posted shortly. I usually skip first-gen Apple stuff anyway so between that and the price I'll probably skip the X for now.

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.
Aye if buying in the US and converting £699 here...sigh
