Oh the iPhone SE. That form factor was better than the 8. Damn you are making me reminisce the iPhone 5 days with iOS 6 now. That phone and iOS is what should be today.

I completely disagree, iOS 6 looks horrible today. Maybe a jitterbug is more up your alley? I am just kidding, but I don't really see why people pine for the iOS 6 days, it looks terribly outdated to me. iOS 7 wasn't perfect, but it was a step in the right direction. I actually am very happy with iOS 11 though, so what do I know.
Oh you represent a group now?
The iPhone 5 form factor was followed by the iPhone 6 form factor which sold way more than the 5 ever did. People moved on from the small 4” display because most people wanted a bigger phone with a bigger display.
iOS 6 - yuck. But if you want to live in the past, just get one of these old devices and hope for that ancient os to still be installed somewhere.
I agree my ex was overpriced and many others can do the same thing and more for me. It’s pretty to look at but I prefer to get more bang for my buck.
Wait I’m confused. Are we discussing the iPhone X or my ex.
Oops

Who is "we"? It certainly ain't me.
Agree I have an 8 plus and I regret getting it over the X, I got it because I thought the X would be sold out for months boy I was so wrong. But I will get the x or xplus this year
It's fitting that the X was the anniversary model because I haven't enjoyed a single model more since I picked up the original back in 2008.
What better way to forget about it than creating a thread about it.
Yes, after a while of putting my X down to do stuff and then pick it back up: I forgot how beautiful / crisp the screen is. I forgot how they nailed the design and size.
Seriously, I sometimes just hold my phone up and check out the design and screen up close. Makes you appreciate the hard work that went into this. It is not perfect but I don't think there will ever be a perfect phone.

No, not all of us care for the 5/6/7/8 form factor. I wanted a phone without the worthless bezels and bought the X because the unneeded home button and bezels were gone. Otherwise, I would still be using my 6s.
Bezel iPhone's are dead. I doubt we will ever see another one.
iPhone X has bezels.
It has a bezel all around the display culminating in what folks refer to as the notch
It's perfectly understandable and acceptable to refer to the iPhone X as a bezel-less phone. You don't need to chime in and say otherwise.
The iPhone X has a bezel. Saying otherwise is flat out wrong. On that note, there is nothing wrong with the thin bezel on the X nor the bezel notch (except when watching video for me). And simmer down with the chiming in nonsense. I have as much right to reply as you do.
I did as requested and forgot about the X. Then some butthead texted me. It took me a minute to figure out where the strange sound was coming from, then I realized it was a cell phone sitting next to me and I was reminded all over again what a beautiful iPhone X I have.
Fun experiment. But I think I'm out now.

In terms of buying an X I will forget about it for now. I highly doubt i’ll own an iPhone with the 2017 form factor until it’s a few generations old the way things are going. This is the only place I see the X in any case so in order to forget it, I just need to stop checking Mac Rumours 
Well, it's only gone from the bottom. The top bezel lives on in the notch.
I think you’re being overly pedantic. In terms of where the iPhone once was and where the iPhone X currently is, it’s not unheard of that iPhone X can be referred to being *bezel-less*. And clearly Apple is moving away from where the iPhone 6/6//7/8 was with the border bezels.

The above quote doesn’t make any sense at all. Why would somebody have paid for the iPhone X that would be nothing? The current iPhone X will see at least four more years of iOS updates, given we know Apples quality with the hardware, their products last. So I’m not following your logic here at all. Also, when Apple introduces the new 2018 5.8 iPhone X, naturally they will discontinue in likeliness the current 5.8 iPhone X. Its The evolution of a product that is superseded by something new annually. It’s called tech.
The question is, why *wouldn’t* the iPhone 8 not be here in the fall? Of course Apple will discount it and still keep it in their lineup, alongside the iPhone 7 and 6S/SE in all likeliness.
