Spend 30 grand on a new car, in year one it will depreciate by 4500 dollars. And people get all bent out of shape on a thousand dollar phone. Cars are money pits and 97% of the time they are sitting in a parking lot doing no good for anyone.

The iPhone X's price is actually more manipulative than you'd think. In general, people tend to have a more positive outlook on something they spent a ton of money on. In other words, the iPhone's $1,000 price tag forces buyers to be happy, even if the phone isn't all that impressive.

Plus you can set default apps. Apple doesn't trust their customers to choose which apps open when triggered by a function because they won't choose Apple apps (Google maps/Waze anyone?)

[@DeadNoob451]

Not to mention that most Androids never get fully outdated. When the manufacturer has given up you can just use a custom rom for the newest android.

[@JL-ef7bh]

No way they're slow, they're actually pretty fast as long as the devs maintain their optimization and software updates. Its just that Apple's iOS is just a tad bit more responsive compared to Android that non-techies seem to notice, hence "Android is slower". No phone is perfect unfortunately, and finding that perfect Android phone is definitely a challenge, especially with Google's recent fuck up and the Essential phone's dissapointing camera.

Not sure who you're watching, but everyone I've seen has given pretty different view points on the iPhone X. Maybe you need to broaden your reviewers.

[@bodman1]

I feel like I'm completely stuck with Apple after being with them since the original iPhone. So many songs, TV shows, movies, and apps have been purchased over the years that the idea of losing them all really worries me. BUT I have not upgraded my phone since the 6S. To me that is still the best Apple phone out at the moment. Fast fingerprint technology, no noticeable frame skips in apps, and the latest model that still retained the audio jack (which I require to stay sane during transit). If I ever do upgrade it most likely will be a jumping of ship (maybe to the Pixel?) unless Apple really steps up their game. But it will be begrudgingly and with sadness.

[@00SNIVY00]

You'll have to stick to the first Pixel. The Pixel 2 doesn't have a headphone jack to my knowledge.

So here I was perfectly happy with my IPhone 6+ (which was like $800 when I bought it, mind you), but then... "iPhone X" firmware update happened. Phone is so slow now that it is nearly unusable. What an amazing coincidence that Apple released new phone that should be faster. That couldn't be done on purpose, right? Same is going on with wife's iPhone 6 and our previous generation retina iPads - firmware updates rendered them painfully slow. Same happened to my previous iPhone at some point as well. That was the last gadget I bought from Apple. If you say "fuck you" to customers, expect to hear the same in return.

Battery lasts like 14 hours while I watch videos and play games, charges in 1.5 hours. Got the 128gb one because the 256 just seemed like too much space I'd never use. Also the finger print scanner is on the back of the phone and instantly unlocks even when phone is sleeping. All this for 550usd give or take. I recommend it.

[@gyptice]

Samuel James I had Verizon for a long time too, but when I moved to China, obviously I had to change carriers. I'm just saying as a phone, this one is pretty good, and people who use at&t and Sprint can check this out if they're in the states, and obviously other people would have to check their carriers in other countries. Maybe one day Verizon will carry Chinese phones considering how good they are getting. Either way, this was a general commentary.

Why are you bored with iOS? or maybe referring to the iPhone, the hardware? If it is the os, I expect that you will try to smoothen out the bumps since 2013 and expected to be great. If the hardware, what more? Make the phone modular, make the camera even greater than it is almost at the edge of physics along with a price of 699 or less? That is unrealistically without making them bankrupt for less profit. Expected for high development cost and high margins along with a cheaper price, that is unrealistic, like I said, without making the profits turn to negative.

[@ppsarrakis]

not to mention apple gets the best hardware when they want too.. if its one thing i was jealous as an android fan is the CPU... and now they got the brightest screen and best face id ...... money makes the world go round mates...

[@WarioNumberOne]

"Beefy battery" 2760mAh, where most other phones have 3300 to 4000 3G of RAM? My phone costs less than half of an iPhone X and packs 8GB of RAM with an octa-core CPU/GPU

[@J_Madison]

You know the part youre missing? The iPhone X doesnt NEED 8GB Ram. You'll never have an issue with the 3GB, as iOS is much more efficient at managing memory.

[@henrypham904]

More mah =/= more battery life. Thats not how it works.

[@henrypham904]

More mah isnt more battery life. More cores isnt more performance (especially true with iPhones, which fucking dominate benchmarks), and iOS is super optimized, and does just as well as a high end android with 8gb

[@muhammadfazaannindra.gxiip8648]

[@supboy666]

My iPhone 6s will be my last apple phone. It still fast af and has no lag on ios 10.3.3 (not upgrading to ios11). Probably will go to the pixel 2xl or the oneplus5t or whatever cool new flagship comes out in 2018

[@GamingWO-]

supboy666 why won’t you update? It kinda, yknow, helps the phone work?

[@makimaki5007]

As a person that studies it I have to tell you that the iOS works cleaner and needs less to run smoothly. When you buy and iPhone you don't just buy the device, but you buy the Garantie that your phone will be supported for years. E.g. the Samsungs S Note 3 even with a fresh battery can only be run in energy save mode as it would burn through the battery in hours. This is on purpose. No updates have been realised for 1 year now, while my iPhone 6 is still getting updated all over the place.
