You were right - one more thing...

Face ID instead of Touch ID
And then Face ID failed in the demo...

At first glance 10 seems like a bust.

>> iPhone 8 <<

$999 for 64GB iPhone X
More $$$ for the 256GB model - perhaps 1199?

Stock was up .40 at beginning of presentation. Watch drove it up to 1.70. iPhone 8 to over 2.10. X drove it down to -1.00 for the day. So the X knocked about 3.00 off the stock price.

$1000 for the most desirable phone... wow.

The X looks pretty badass to me.

Spec wise, I think the 8/8 Plus is really impressive and a nice upgrade over the 7, but I am really digging the X because the screen is bigger than the current plus, but the phone is physically smaller.

Reflects how I was feeling.

I'm like LTE watch. Hmmmm maybe
4k tv with modest price. Pretty good. Maybe I'll get after researching the live Tv option.
The 8 and 8+. I'm like, nice specs. Nice price for big storage. Thinking the X is gonna kill it then

The X........uh.....animoji's.

$1149...not bad for a significant amount more memory. I just don't get why no 128gb. I could get new macbook pro for a few bucks more and live with my 6S and 7

Not saying it isn't worth it but definitely too rich for my blood.

$1,319 CAD for the 64 GB iPhone X, $1,529 CAD for the 256 GB iPhone X... plus taxes and wow, Canadians are getting hosed on this one again. That kind of pricing for a phone is absolutely ridiculous.

I've also noticed the wireless charging pad isn't included with the X according to the Apple website, so you'll have to shell out for that on top it seems.

Wow, they want $10/month to add watch to your data plan already. Seems unreasonable to me. We are paying for minutes and data. It shouldn't matter how many devices. Setting up a phone to ring to two phones isn't worth it. Poor play if you ask me.

I think I'll put the X through as a business expense haha

Not sure on the pricing Vs memory

iPhone X 64GB £999 Vs 256GB £1,149

£150 for 4x times the memory?!

That is horrible! I'd be all in for the watch if there wasn't a subscription charge!

Yea, but I'm ok with it. I think they want to have a clean iPhone 8/8+ launch plus ramp up production for the X.
