Nope the iPhone X at least is still USB 2.0

Massive difference. I can charge my iPhone and other devices from my iPad Pro over USB C - I can't use my iPhone to do the same. I can't connect an external device like a portable hdd but I can with iPad Pro (with iPad OS). Plus it is yet another cable!
Let's put it the other way - why stay with lightning, other than it suits Apple?

11 for me but will decide after I’ve been to the store to have a look at them.

Even more incremental than usual

I see this as no different to other years.
Honestly I’m surprised people expect anything else. We’ll get borderless when they can install them behind the screens properly, without pin holes. Then where do we go? We’ll have a slab with no boarders.

Fair enough! I assumed as it has USB-C charging it would have data too, guess not. Having said that I don't think I've once plugged my phone in to transfer anything over USB, what would you use it for?

Technically, if you live in a region with awful carriers, overpriced data and data caps etc. with say a 256gb or larger capacity device, you might want to transfer several if not hundreds of gbs of photos/videos off of your device by USB. For example I have a 128Gb iPhone 7 with a data cap, when I used it on holiday I simply plugged into my machine and imported the photos, having a massively quicker interface would be so much better.

How do you expect them to fit all the components for Face ID under the screen?
The alternative is to block out the entire space at the top which gives a lower screen area, I’ll keep the notch thanks.

How do you think Samsung manage to squeeze the earpiece right at the top of the phone, thus not taking up valuable screen area?
How do you think LG use an OLED acoustic panel to remove the speaker openings from the design, thus saving more space?
Apple could easily move the earpiece up / shrink the Face ID components and switch to an acoustic panel design to produce a vastly more impressive design of iPhone. Shame their design team are such hacks.
Also, what's with the 11 getting EVEN thicker?! Apple used to boast about 12% thinner etc and now it's bloating more and more compared to the competition, still with an unsightly camera bump!

Please explain how they can easily shrink the Face ID components? I’m not an electronic engineer but if you are do explain.
Those sorts of comments really grind my gears
People have been moaning for years that it’s too thin and would like more battery. They make the phone bigger and put a bigger battery in and you complain. The camera bump is also way smaller than previous years due to the thicker design.

Are you getting it via the upgrade scheme?

going to reserve judgement until i see one in the flesh.. from the keynote and pictures the camera cluster is just ugly. No reason to upgrade from an X just yet me thinks
Nope. Will either order it directly or try and get a deal from my network.
iPhone 7 has run its course and showing its age? How?
Pop up Face ID like on the OnePlus Pro 7.
