BTW, if you transfer video file on iCloud, you can't watch it on your iPhone... just keep it on virtual drive for fancy icon... They give you GBytes of space and USB cable, but can't use them... Now, that's crazy.
It's a closed system OS: that's an expression for lack of very useful features.
Just can't compete with Android on a basic level, plane and simple.

    Hate to break it to you, but apple's iphone X will be a benchmark for the next apple phones to come. So the design wont change, the screen will remain exactly the same as it is with the same cut out. It will remain like that for at least 5-6 years.

      Anonymous, 25 Sep 2017Sorry I read first part a bit later What if internal stora... moreAre you certain that the internal storage is more susceptible to data corruption? This is the reason why ios itself has no system explorer or file explorer. It prevents data corruption.
      Broken screen or broken glass? Are you certain that the screen itself isn't shockproof? Did you know that case exist? Don't tell me you don't use one?
      You know that for file sharing. Apple has airdrop so you can share files from you iphone to other ios device. And if you want to share on a non ios device. Bluetooth also works?
      And for that nfc enabled speakers. I do know those since sony is providing those speakers.
      http://www.sony.com.ph/electronics/wireless-speakers-docks/t/wireless-speakers
      But the reason why I prefer the lightning dock speaker is the fact that it charges your iphone while also playing music files. You do know that NFC enabled connection doesn't charges your phone?
      Are you sure that games on android are optimized? Tell me why aren't they optimized on both performance and optimum graphical details? For example. Oceanhorn game. The android file version is 1.1.1. And the latest update was february 2017, While the ios version of the app is 3.0.1 and the latest update was may 2017. Another one is yugi-oh card battle from konami. The android file version is 1.21 while the ios is 2.200. Finally. Check the battlevoid harbinger patch file.
      According to the android version. It have "New unlockable Ship, and Minor Bug fixes". Meanwhile the ios version also has the same description but with added "Updated to 64 bit". So if the android itself is capable of using the 64 bit. Why didn't the developers included the 64 bit update?
      NOW GET THIS! Since apple has released the AR kit. There are some existing games that are now utilizing AR. Like the Warhammer 40K freeblade. It now has AR photo overview:
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ezNdI_9VCI
      Android has released the ARCore after the announcement of android O. But has no demo. Unlike the AR kit during the ios 11 announcement. And during the beta stages. It was tested and updated a lot of times before ios 11 was released to the public. Now, anyone with an iphone 6s and above are now enjoying the AR kit. While the ARCore from android has yet to begin the beta test. And is facing a huge crisis over the compatibility. Since the only phone that was supported by the ARCore was the Pixel, Pixel XL, and the S8, S8+. How will google resolve this problem if it was caught copying ios AR Kit? I thought Tango AR was the best counter by google against ios AR kit?

        apple put things/features that already seen in android world and make it super expensive. for apple user, why dont u just stick with i7/i7+. save money to pay rents or spend it with your families.

          Foxtrot2Novmbr, 25 Sep 2017Was it a big mistake for not naming the 8/8 plus with 7s an... moreUmm sure kiddo, sure. Hey why don't you copy a movie from your pc to your phone to watch it? Can't? aw little iphone sheepies can't just copy a movie without going through apple hell 1st?

          Hey why don't you copy an mp3 song then? no?

          And android is not optimised? Well you just lost your argument here boy. Android is actually MORE optimised than ios! It has way more data (being open and all) to work with. Saying that means you know little to nothing about smartphones.

            Well i was suppose to got with an iPhone8 but... after the keynote... and lots of disapointements, Ive ordered 2 Galaxy S8+ for myself and my husband instead. Apple totally lost it this year... Same old design... nothing new exept a couple of tweeks there and there.... waste of money and wasted my time on that keynote...

                What if internal storage gets corrupted or worse phone gets damaged, like broken screen or entirely broken glass?
                For card I can get cheaper on
                You really don't know application of NFC for file sharing and pairing with NFC enabled speakers. Even if watch has it, Why should I buy a 250$ device on top of 1000 $ device for enabling a simple feature?
                Bluetooth that won't work with 88% devices out there is a problem I believe
                Top developers eg ea, ubisoft, Konami and all develop apps keeping is support in mind for optimal performance. They have freedom to develop the way they want it's compatible either way. More freedom for developers they mostly do it for 64 bit but like you said apps will work fine on 32 bit processors and is too. Eg Google made their apps 64 bit compatible iirc
                I can keep Google out of my android phone. Can you keep apple out of your iPhone?

                  512GB internal storage :- which iPhone has it? I am not talking about ipads, also SD cards over it any day. You see 2 TB(only 200gb cards are there though) is Still greater than 512 GB
                  120hz promotion display : that samoled better be truetone for 1000 bucks
                  triple speaker system on iphone 7 and beyond: enlighten me please. AFAIK it's stereo speakers. Compare with u11 and come back
                  lightning dock speakers, Globally available to purchase :are these counted as pros? I'd take a standard type c over proprietary stuff any day plus check Dex , Also globally detrimental rates aren't pros. Eg in India it iPhone x costs 1395$ for 64 gb. No point saying that when importing is possible now
                  4 year OS update support : miui wants to say something... Optimized and Metal enhance apps and games :ok, can it run crysis? For 1400 bucks it better do
                  brightest Quad LED flash don't know need to see gsmarena review for that
                  Smaller format for smaller non expandable storage isn't a pro. I'd buy 64 GB class 10 card and enjoy everything in different devices
                  Now my turn.. connect to PC without any proprietary stuff
                  Freedom to choose from multiple devices and their take on OS
                  Freedom to flash any ROM without voiding warranty in case of xiaomi

                    I've checked both lolippop and marshmallow.
                    https://developer.android.com/about/versions/lollipop.html
                    https://developer.android.com/about/versions/marshmallow/android-6.0-changes.html
                    It only shows 64 bit processing support. So in the end. It didn't show that starting from android L till O mobile OS is running at 64 bit.
                    Even on apps and games. Are you certain that those apps from the playstore are using 64 bit arch?
                    Long touch? Apple made sure that you commonly used it. Which is why there are some apps that utilized force touch display. So are you sure that it's a long touch if your are pressing your fingers harder on the screen?
                    Those features that you've mentioned.
                    SD CARD - Even if you are using an expensive microSD card brand. How can you recover your files once the external storage gets corrupted?
                    Proper Bluetooth - What's the problem with bluetooth on ios device?
                    NFC - Didn't apple watch already have those features? So why needed it on the smartphone?

                    Here's a good challenge for you. Where's the following on android?
                    512GB internal storage, 120hz promotion display, Quad speakers on tablets, triple speaker system on iphone 7 and beyond, lightning dock speakers, Globally available to purchase, 4 year OS update support, Optimized and Metal enhance apps and games, brightest Quad LED flash, and even smaller picture or video format size when taking photos or videos?

                      How may iOS Apps use Titan?

                      Android is 64 bit since Lollipop (2014).

                      3D force touch was gimmick from the start and hasn't gained any following from developers even on its own platform (iOS) , not talking about android.

                      There is long press in Android and it covers most of functionality what 3D Force could offer (can cover 99% of uses, because basically everyone uses 3D touch as substitute for long press, because there is no long press (i.e press and hold) on iOS).

                              Its like a baseline for the design of future gen iphones
                              Mayb apple may recv a lot of flak for excluding touch id, maybe not
                              Maybe that cutout may look less obvious, not that its too bad right now
                              They might incorporate a black ui to take full advantage of the amoled display
                              And of course next year when production settles down, the price of the new gen might get a bit lower since there are no production issues/delays
                              If i were to buy an iphone this year it might be ip8+ n if next year, id see if things are improved or not n then only upgrade
                              ip8+ does seem like an improvement over ip7+ design with the glass back, color, and the 'true' quad core a11

                                        I honestly give a thumbs up to Apple because of the Iphone X, finally they have wireless charging,fast charging, bezeless display and an excelent camera. Finally Iphone solved the problems of the past, the only problem its the price, but there would be people that would buy it anyway, even if it cost $1500 because its a good product, not perfect(battery life, lighting conection, no 3.5 mm jack, no microSD card slot, no FP sensor), but very good.
