    now that all the idiots will try to get their hands on one before its out of stock. It would be funny when no one really buys it. I can see out of 100 people 1 or 2 are carrying the iphone. Mostly its samsung and huawei be it the lowest end specs. Don't know how it works in the states and europe.

      I think Apple are over confident this year! I don't think the X will be a big seller....for the following reasons.
      1: Bezel less....it's not new is it! Samsung already have had this on many handsets! In fact even the basic A range has it for £279.99!
      2: Wireless charging....new technology....ahem! Samsung has had this for many years too!
      3: Face recognition....sorry but Samsung AGAIN has this even on the most basic models!
      The only thing different this year with Apple is the pathetic price!

        And there will still be units on display despite what they're claiming. Just a way to make more people rush for pre-orders.

          Rafe Firmani, 16 Sep 2017For this premium product, rich people don't mind shelling s... moreI am rich enough to buy new phones every 6 months or even earlier if I like something. But I'll say if this phone is anniversary edition than Samsung is already providing anniversary version phones twice a year. I've an S8 right now and I can easily say it's already much superior than iPhone X. I have a latest Samsung so I'll buy this iPhone but if you don't have 2017 galaxy flagship and you are still thinking about iPhone X then you might have some non straight feelings inside you. If you know what I mean

            For once it's a good phone and clearly superior to the competition unlike all previous iPhones and it also looks quite good.
            Sadly instead of improving and keeping a single they keep the stupid dual camera.Just wait for others to follow.

              AnonD-552435, 16 Sep 2017Apple is producing a more expensive Note 8 , in terms of specs.More like specs from a 2013 phone with a mediocre battery.

                  It took me some time to understand why people hated iPhones so much, despite all of its shortcomings one can argue that they have the best mobile processors and memory chips which wouldn't be a lie, alongside great displays (calibrated at least) and great software stability, but their greed this year to not even include a fast charging braided cable, fast charging power adapter, good quality earphones and heck even a braided headphone jack adapter like Essential did, for nearly 1500€, is an absolute joke and i really, really hope people wake up because everything they are doing is absolutely money hungry.

                  They didn't even upgrade the IP rating or added drop/shock resistance ratings, they just state that their glass is the worlds strongest when i am sure the Essential phone is miles ahead in terms of durability -.-, can't wait to see Techrax destroying these overpriced suckers. Will never defend Apple, ever again.

                    And iPhones still won't have good battery life, will be poor to mediocre battery life at best when being used.

                        Hope Samsung gets a big share of the profits in particular for having developed the AMOLED tech in panels employed.

                          And the next chapter of issue-gate will be started. Just wait for it.

                                  I cannot argue the iPhone X has the best bezelless design, but when one manufacturer has enough courage to have fullscreen display, they will have the best design.

                                      Apple won't be able to match IPhone X demand this year ? Well I won't be buying one so let someone have mine lol

                                      Basically all the celebs and Royal's and Aristocrats will get put ahead everyone else, Hence why your average Apple user will be dreaming of IPhone X for next year !

                                        For this premium product, rich people don't mind shelling some bucks to get it.
                                        This new revolutionary iPhone meets fans expectation.
                                        Expect sales to go high till year, when next gen iPhone 9 is out
