Other Apple is dead to me

Is it too much to ask for the iphone to deliver something original and new? Iphone 4s was the last time that happened. And piece of **** Samsung??? Go check out the reviews of the Note 8, its capabilities leave the X looking like a dinosaur.

The best Note 8 capability is that this years model doesn't explode (hopefully). I see nothing else original on it.

It's literally an S8+ with a pen, that's basically it lol.

The only thing that might be impressive is the HDR capability, but then again I would rather have that on a tablet.

Have you guys noticed that these executives were scared as (insert your words)?
Seriously. It's as if they met the devil themselves or something. Something wasn't right with keynote.

Edit: wasn't*

I noticed that they were all very scripted and stiff. People forget that Steve Jobs was a salesman and had charisma. That is lacking and this keynote was informative, but over scripted.

Rule the OP needs to follow: Don't ever get caught being too emotionally invested in a for-profit company, unless you're one of the execs.

It's just a tech company. The products aren't "magical" no matter how many times Tim Cook says so. It's stuff, and "stuff" is not as important as you think.

Take a few deep breaths. Have an adult beverage. Get laid. Do whatever it takes to calm yourself over this colossal disappointment and realize in the end it matters very little.

You got that right

It was almost like their careers were on the line. Who knows, maybe they are? The face ID already failed to work and it took a few tries to get it to work. Does this concern me, perhaps for $1000 it does lol.

I'm not going to be dramatic about this, but Apple is dead to me.

Okay, they were not sophisticated enough to imbed a touch id button under the screen so instead they go with Face ID. That's fine. But don't take us for fools by using Face ID as one of the X's big ticket items. I feel robbed. We already had a security measure in place, so what do they do, use an alternative security measure as a big new thing to come to iphone because they have hardly anything else to talk about, they have run out of ideas, there is nothing new with the X

Wireless charging. Yea great. Now iphone is only 2 years behind every other phone.

Oled display. Seriously is Apple that bereft of ideas that they have to talk about what every other ****ing smartphone in 2017 has?

Better camera and more powerful chip. This is what you can expect to be the big feature next year because they will have nothing new for next year so expect a better camera and a more powerful chip next year too.

This was supposed to be the biggy. This year Apple was supposed to come out of its post Steve Jobs shell and deliver. **** them, all they did was another incremental upgrade, and I'm talkking about the iphone x.

Where's the big softeare features? Still the same boring as ******* grid of apps, no ability to customise, not even split screen multitasking, it's 2017 for crying out loud. - "the most advanced mobile phone operating system" - yea right, pig's farking ass it is.

Time to start looking at the Note 8 because Apple is dead to me after this keynote.

Lol. Okay. Thanks for telling us. Sounds like you’re advertising another phone more than anything. Nice to never know you. I hear Samsung has explosive features. Enjoy it.

They obviously don't feel comfortable speaking in front of audience. Steve loved speaking in front of audience. People have varying talents.

More earth shattering news on CNN later,
...Irma...Irma....Irma...Irma....Irma...enough already, we know it's a hurricane.

They all will be fine, millionaires each and every one.

Now if you want to worry about someone, here I am. Need new roof, but budget is tight on Social Security.

Just because you an executive doesn't mean you are comfortable in front of big crowds. It's called stage fright.

Perform every day and overcome it. Perform once a year and not.

They been up on stage for years.

Until 6 months from now when it starts freezing and randomly restarting. That is what Androids do. I love the idea of Android but in practice, they suck after 6 months of ownership. The "walled garden" approach from Apple creates a much more fluid, seamless experience.

Not to mention that even the 7 Plus runs circles around the Note in terms of everyday performance and that gap will only increase with the release of the X/8 Plus.

That's why I won't go back to an android device.

Do you find it interesting that the S8 and iPhone x are the most similar phones between the two companies ever ?

Same. Most people assume my hatred of Android is due to me being an Apple fan...nope, I tried Android. I REALLY tried Android. I loved it during my first few months of ownership but the decline happened quickly and I ended up dealing with all sorts of problems and went back to iPhone after 6 months.

Then time for you to move on. I tried Sammy/Android and it sucked. If you do not like Apple, spare us your drama and move on.

That's because Android is a queen that needs constant attention and maintenance.
Clear this cache, clear that cache, reset this reset that. Screw that noise.

Haha, these posts are such a joke. Who cares if other phones have the features? Go buy them then. If you are perfectly happy making the switch to Android, then you should have a long time ago. Apple or anyone here simply do not care if you purchase the phone or not.

I get that they have reached a peak. But everything on the X is unoriginal. All Apple is doing is playing catch up. Big screen, oled display, edge to edge, face recognition...what Apple is promoting as the X's key features other smartphones already have, yet Apple makes it seem like these features are new and ingenius. Give me a break. Seriously this year's iphone was meant to be a breakthrough and all we got are the same old same old incremental improvements. I'm not asking for much, but something to make me go wow I want that phone would have been nice. As it stands, there's nothing about the X to make me go wow I want that phone. Nothing whatsoever. The Note 8 on the otherhand....

So if you prefer iOS, which you obviously do, wouldn't you be happy that these features are finally coming to the iPhone? What exactly is so special about the Note 8 that makes you want to switch? Similar features, comes down to OS. Pick the OS you prefer. It's not that complicated.

Not true! My whole life revolves around other people buying and loving Apple phone.

Cuz I bought a share of Apple stock. :D

The only one worth buying might be the Pixel/Pixel XL but then you get to deal with Google taking all your data and selling it to the whole world!

Where is my cut for selling my data to whole world.

Shoot NSA has all my data anyway.
