Apple just revealed the iPhone X and it has got some nice new features. Some of them such as facial recognition and an OLED display were long overdue but eh what can you do.

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.
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.
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.

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).
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.
Ughh.. Honestly, this phone is "End of a Dogs Butthole" ugly. Brings nothing new to the smartphone table besides high price tag.
To me, it looks like a Sharp Aquos S2 and a Asus Zenfone AR with some extra apple fluff.
