iPhone X Do you regret paying $1000+ for your iPhone X?

FWIW my 7plus outright— even having contract discounted 6s plus pay for half of it, didn’t feel worth it
Post-subsidy life is rough.
Just curious on peoples thoughts just after a week. I will be curious to what people say in another 6 months though
This is what I was basically asking.
I couldn't see any? I seen some asking if they was going to buy it. I was curious if people regret it/think it's worth it.
Besides the new design, there's nothing special about the iPhone x. Face ID has too many flaws ( like difficulty using it while laying down). Another unlock option like iris would have been nice.
The screen is nice but not the best OLED screen our there.
The size is slightly underwhelming. I was hoping it would be at least the same screen size as the plus. But it's just thinner and taller.
I just don't feel like it's innovative enough to justify the $1100 price tag. It's just a bezel less iphone 8
Depends who you ask I guess? Displaymate says it's the nicest screen they've ever tested. They're pretty much the gold standard, as far as screen testing goes.
How would the Iris scanner help more than FaceID while laying down? but yeah good points, personal opinion mainly
Asking whether it’s worth it is basically asking if you like it. Plenty of people who own it have weighed in on liking it/not liking it. Since pretty much no one who likes it is returning it, you can infer that people think it’s worth it.
Not necessarily. People might not like it doesn't mean they think it's not worth the price and vice versa. People have different opinions.
I'm on the iUP so I haven't and won't have paid £999 for mine by the time I trade it in next September.
I’d be willing to bet the 20+ people who answered “absolutely!” in the poll thought they were saying the phone is “absolutely!” worth it. A simple yes/no choice would have likely yielded more accurate results.
Mine arrived yesterday and i'm very impressed! but when it comes to the question of if it's worth it not everyone is going to agree it depends on how much you value £999? for me i think it's worth it, i think we are paying a premium for an iPhone that has so much brilliant technology.
Face ID works so well and so fast
The OLED screen was noticeable as soon as i turned it on and watching a HDR movie on it is just WOW (Wonder Woman and DeadPool look amazing).

Well that's irrelevant to me because when I give it back to Apple they pay off the rest of the iUP as long as I get the new iPhone.
But what would be the point of that? On the iUP I can get the new iPhone every year as long as I give them my old one to trade in.
You pay off the remaining balance then put the rest of the balance towards the new phone on IUP so you pay less the year after
If I sold the phone I would have to make sure it covered the rest of the iUP contract, if it didn't I would be out of pocket. Why bother when I can give it back to Apple and they will pay off the contract and let me set up a new one?
