          Oh yah i forget to write another way i do not buy apple any more the quality of cable are sick if you buy iphone charger you get only 5w can you imagine maybe all androids can you beat at geek number far for 11000 but all android shipping with they fast charger ( not to much money oriented in my judgement) for wireless charger just 30usd but not with adapter if you want extra cable and adaptor just extra 25usd in my country for samsung can you imagine if apple sale in my country around 30 usd for cable for head charger 45usd how a good number wow its ok if apple make price more pricey but try to make more durable cable in my point of view i just see apple are to money oriented for how long you will like that?

            Can't afford demand..bla...bla....bla that's only apple strategy they have since iphone 5s simple economic rule high demands "low stock"= higher price. Many news to brainstorm the buyer like that last i have iphone are 5s i like thats phone but to buy next phone you must consider what you need buy a phone function you need if for work i chose samsung note 8 more playful but the price not fun any morr especially for my country around 950usd. If you looking for gaming phone u can chose xiaomi mi6 or one+5 have reasoner price and good performance especially one plus 5 but if you have tight budget just mi 6. And if you have xtra bucks, being magnet for friends and bad gus(in my country indonesia) you can consider iphone 8/8+,or maybe have extra money iphone x.

              Wonder how expensive an iPhone must become before its deemed "too expensive".
              They could probably charge $2000 for it and the sheep´s would flock to buy..

                      Apple does a really good job with the iPhone and iOS ecosystem. They deserve all their success.

                      I'd like to see them keep updating the SE line and keep in the market for smaller phones.

                        Essential PH-1 is better in all way.

                                yeah cause there are no demand... delusional company!

                                  Only 40M in a span of less than two months? Other companies can only dream selling a smartphone at half that number.

                                  I was thinking about just waiting for the successor to the iPhone X because it likely adds the fingerprint scanner onto the display. But what if Face ID is amazing already? People just doubting the tech since they never used it similar to how some were doubtful with Touch ID when 5s introduced it.

                                  Getting iPhone X in 2017 makes more sense to me than 2018. It's the 10th year anniversary. 2018 iPhone X becomes the 11th anniversary that nobody celebrates. What would be cool is an iPhone X Product Red. Black front and red back. The X is the most special edition iPhone since the SE

                                  Haters can keep on hating. I don't even like iOS and prefer it had launchers to simplify the clutter on that boring, static home screen. I also don't like using iTunes. But you can't deny this X will be a success.

                                  I believe my space gray iPhone SE is the best iPhone ever made inside/out. I still prefer the design of my glacial silver HTC One M7 more but I prefer using my SE way more. But since I don't like that iOS lacks launchers that I would only rank it among my #3 fav.

                                  Motorola Moto E 4G

                                  V20 moved up from #3. G5 went down to #2. V20 really is the better phone. SE moved up a couple spots because it's so small and beautiful. Easy to carry. Pixel was #2 mostly and #1 at some point. Bland design. No real standout features. Still love it but Oreo kinda, ruined it for me. Also has keyboard lag. S7e and Moto are interchangeable although I prefer Motorola way more than Samsung as a phone maker.

                                  When or if I get the X, it will rank about #3 or #4.

                                    iPad Pro double the price, expensive assessories, normal iPad stuck without upgrades. None of the iPads gain haptic feedback touchids nor 3D touch.
                                    iPhone 8, no OLed, so you get milk double again with the Bonic chip, iP7 will perform just as well with A10.
                                    iP6s ip7 still around to milk the poor people.

                                    Steve NEVer do such things, he always upgrade across the board one time. when under tim, upgrades slowed, keep people expecting, and disappoint people with Rock band during keynote lol.

                                    Mac mini, Mac Pro all still no news... YOU should stop praising them and maybe they will wake up. Because i still want the good OLD Apple, now these craps.
