I order it last saturday and get it today from my phone company. I have my cell phone at the same company since 1997
so maybe I was a little priority.

It's not a good idea to crack the lens on day one.

You can still get all of them in 1 day here in Finland. Apple, you screw up this time. With the X I waited for months.

I get it if you are on an old iPhone, but I have the X and there is no reason to upgrade!

I go from a 7, so for me it was time for a upgrade.

I'm sticking with my iPhone 7 for a little while longer. I've learned the hard way to wait a while before jumping on the new hotness. I will sit back for a few months and keep up on a few Apple forums, seeing what's working and what's not.

I'm not a fan of the face unlock feature so that's no draw for me.

For me face id works better than touch id that not working when I work with gloves on. Face id works great and is very fast.
But you can inactivate it so you not need to use it.

My dad got his today. He doesn’t care about the processer speed etc. I think he’s maybe a little excited for the better camera. It was funny watching him open it though he was trying to be excited but didn’t really know what was different than his last one.

I thought the Xs was pretty cool. I was surprised at the weight. It’s pretty heavy compared to my 7.

Have fun with the new toy Jocke.

Hmm... Nice. One hurdle down. Let’s see how long it takes for me to throw $1500 at Apple. :)

Fancy.

The X is a great phone.

The S even better.

The 6 and 7 is still a great iPhone.

But it's got a home button!

It's like cutting the cord, cut the button.

And life with user experience becomes one.
