You know what problem here with most of people that they use android phone n compare iPhone . They saw they have octa core 8 gn ram Bluetooth n many more but they forgot iPhone run on 2 gn which is smooth becoz it’s ios which is smooth n always upto date . Apple has Bluetooth n Airdrop also . Removing jack is not hell kind thing u can plug in n use ur wire EarPods . Don’t know why few users make issue without knowledge .

I am way past due for an upgrade and have been looking at the 8 Plus, in the past week had a chance to play with the X. I had reservations about the new X since Summer rumors, then the unveiling (YES, the "notch!") After testing out the X a few times, I actually thought it looked far better than I expected., gestures are new and would take a slight new learning curve but I kind of liked that. Even though it's a beautiful looking phone, feels great in my hand and it is super-fast..it's the other parts of the insides that still have me at a pause.
I opened the "iPhone Stock Live Map" and wow..lot of stores in the NE this morning have a lot in stock - I could literally walk into a few stores right now and pick one up - Im sure they will be sold out by mid day today in many locations. I am still deeply concerned of the news in the past 5, 6 days with Cold weather issues and the X responsiveness, and now quite a few OLED fails with a "green line" suddenly forming on some. Not a widespread issue....yet. Still worrisome though. The thought of dropping 1K+ and having some kind of big problem in the next few days, a week a month, it's concerning.
Also OLED screens do have a notorious "screen burn" potential, now I haven't seen reports on the X yet (Google Pixel 2 has some random 'burn in" problems right now) - just wondering if this could be a potential issue in the coming months.
Right now I kind of feel like it's like playing the slots at a casino, you may get a perfectly working device, you may get a total lemon. Apple - IF customer reps/support know of these potential issues..a replacement is usually sent out. Of course Apple Care is needed for piece of mind.
My feeling right now is "Just wait! Dont give in!! (Yes i have a tendency to just run out and buy something like this because ....well I want it!) So far I've shown strong willpower not to and wait and see if other issues may pop up.

Recommendation for Apple.
1. Copy android
2. Copy android
3. Copy android!!
Your own way of doing things are wrong! Lose sales... you need to copy android.
Moving from 3.5 inch to 4 inch saved you.
Adding 4.7 5.5 version save you.
Reducing bezells saved you.
Adding Oled saved you.
Adding a limited file manager save you.
As of now, no mouse support suck, no otg, no bluetooth transfer, controlled nfc.. Apple!! You don’t need to invent junk features we don’t need, just copy android and open your OS!!!

Those features are new to iUsers but not to Android users. Apart from OLED screen with horns and face ID everything else is just remodeled iPhone 7 Plus. So iPhone X, internally isn't a complete overhaul as you think. Gestures? OLED screen? Android had it before.

Don't know about iPhone 8 but iPhone X is holy shit with so many issues. Apple spend only 300 usd for every iPhone X but it is selling with 1000 usd. iPhone X was destroyed by Sony XZ Premium. It is slow crap.

Totaly understandable, who want to buy an old looking phone for a huge amount of money, if you can buy a more modern looking one? The sad thing is that the latter is even more expensive and still ugly as hell. Sorry to say, this how I think about it. apple is for fan-boys (and ladies), not for realistic persons.

AnonD-684631, 12 Nov 2017This proves that peeps are jumping to Android iPhone X is selling more than any other of its price (or close to) and once the production issues are resolved it will probably do record sales.
If anything 2017 was a bad year for android (flagships hardly upgrading over predecessors, ridiculous prices). It's barbecue chicken for iphone... many users are actually migrating back to iphone given how underperforming this last gen of androids were...

"as it remains the solitary option for those wanting a large screen iPhone."
You do realize that iPhone X and iPhone Plus have the exact same screen real estate right?

And as more apps get compatible with the new aspect ratio instead of the old one, you'd actually see iPhone Plus getting smaller in practice (less and less apps would support 16:9 fully)...

Apple should make the iphone 8 special for its 10th annieversary phone. Not to introduce iphoneX, 2 different phone at same time. Wrong strategy. By 2019 people will get confuse wif iphone X and another iphone X(2019). Maybe should just introduce iphone 8 with 10th annieversary special tag on it.
