Finally saw an iPhone X for the first time tonight. Guy was using his while sitting in a cafe.
They’ve been selling like crazy at the local Apple stores. But, this being New York City, I suspect people are reluctant to show them in public as of yet, which is a smart move.
Case in point: a week after launch, I was using mine on the subway when I noticed two rough-looking guys staring at me. They looked at each other, and I could tell they were planning to jump me when I got off the train. I remained calm, and decided to fake like I was getting off at the next stop, allowing them and some other passengers to get off ahead of me. I took my time walking to the doorway, but then stopped there just as the train doors shut, with me still safely inside. Whew!
Since then I’ve kept the X in my pocket, controlling it with my Apple Watch and wireless headphones.
