Apple Keynote







Price starts at 999$ USD and pre-orders begin on the 27th of October 2017. Ships on the 3rd of November 2017.

There are multiple different news outlets commenting on it and my source is from the Apple website itself which just had a 2hrs keynote revolving around new products. The iPhone SE, 6S and 7 will all be part of the line up in 2018 and the newly introduced iPhone 8 will also join the fray. There is a lot to cover.

Apple just could not do it using the same design for 4 year. You have to play extra $350 for them to innovate "keep up".

Think my next phone will be the essential phone 2
For now looks like I'll be picking up the iPhone X unless the Google Pixel 2 is that much more amazing.

Am I the only one who thinks like that ?
That was my last iPhone and I loved it. After that Apple was always behind.

You know MKBHD. His phrase for the past 2 years has been cheap phones are getting good and good phones are getting cheap, lol is all I have to say.

Not really possible if you use apps... almost everything requires an iOS upgrade which brings older phones down to a crawl.. My iPhone 4s is now unbearably slow.. and yet it was lightning fast on release. The new iOS features don't justify the software bloat.

Yeah. They kill older stuff to a point where you just cant believe it. You just do not want to update iOS a lot of the times.

I think that stopped with the iPhone 5. The 4 and 4S were unbelievably slow with their last iOS to the point I would recommend people to stay on iOS 6 and 7 respectively. iPhone 5 on iOS 10 which is its last iOS still has a reasonable speed.

I know the Apple hate is strong on this forum, but I tend to like it

Why should I buy this phone? What benefits does it provide over my $150 phone I've owned for about a year now? I don't even use all the flashy features on it, and it is still plenty kinds of fast. I even have wireless charging (too bad its pretty useless lol).

Why is the phone called iPhone 8? Its clearly 7S and in reality Apple has not changed the design since iPhone 6.

I think so as well, the design of the X reminds me a lot of the early generation of iPhones which look awful imo.
The A11 is an absolute monster of a chip, their facial recognition blows Samsung's away and the animojis are an...interesting touch.

I timed my Note8 purchase to fall in line with Apple's press conference so I could return it if the X impressed me, which it did not.
I think the iPhone X is going to be an awesome phone but I'm very happy with my Note8 and feel that the X would be a downgrade for my preferences.

Gotta go speak to the head of marketing for that one. The name it has doesn't make a difference as to what it is. They could have called it the iPhone 2. Would have made no difference.
