You use the word stawman repeatedly so many times in your post, yet ironically you interject your own strawman arguments throughout this entire thread. So how is it that someone else can't create a strawman argument, but you can, only to refute something with your own?
First, the reason it's brought up several times is in response to someone committing to it several times. Second, what strawman argument have I erected...
And then you go on the "Just because Apple has released iPhone X in its current form, doesn't mean they were capable of something better." Care to expand on that and what they could have done better? What issues specifically? You're statement is rather vague.
If you read this thread (yes I know it's 20+ pages), you'd see there is a clear answer to your question.
That's not what you're doing, you're not discussing the issues with the iPhone X. You're Refuting others post without even taking into consideration that these alleged issues with the iPhone X are highly debatable and not widespread confirmed problems. So it is subjective, and your posts are not concrete evidence of anything.
No. It doesn't matter how much you repeat that something is subjective: it won't make something objective... subjective. For example, there is a blue tint (hue change) on the iPhone screen at certain viewing angles in certain conditions: Apple has even released a statement saying this happens. That is not subjective. You cannot lump everything into a subjective category: that's the flaw in what you're doing.
"If you look at an [iPhone X] OLED display off-angle, you might notice slight shifts in color and hue. With extended long-term use, OLED displays can also show slight visual changes. This is also expected behavior and can include “image persistence” or “burn-in,” where the display shows a faint remnant of an image even after a new image appears on the screen. Apple public statement (2017)."
Battery life should not even be brought into the equation of anything, because it's all variable based on everybody's usage. That shouldn't even be talked about at all. "Screen quality", based on what exactly? From what you read on a tech forum for those who have issues? There's no evidence behind "Display quality." I could make the same argument that the display quality is absolutely superb and I have had no issues and claim for those around me as well.
Battery life. What we have are various tests and reports. Many tests show that the iPhone X has worse battery life than not only Plus phones, but standard ones too. Yes, tests are somewhat limited, but they are informative. For instance, Ars Technica with the Wifi browsing test: iPhone X scored worse compared to all of the other iPhones tested from the 5S up, with the exception of the 5S where the iPhone X scored better than it. On CNET's test, The X lasted an average of 11 hours, 38 minutes. As they said, "That's not great, and was considerably shorter than the 13 hours-plus average times that the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus managed." Yes, battery life can vary depending on how a person uses the phone.
On the display of the iPhone X, already addressed with the colour shifting.
Again, you're creating a strawman argument into a strawman. I truthfully don't believe you understand what strawman means in the context that you are using it.
How am I creating a strawman argument into a strawman. Yes, I know what a strawman is...
Yet, you're going to discuss the issues with OLED, but you want to use LCD as a comparison that does not suffer from 'this problem'. I can make the same argument that LCD displays had their own pertinent issues that Are irrelevant to OLED That's not an appropriate comparison at all, two different types of technology with her own concerns. You're conflating.
Yes, it is an appropriate comparison to compare the LCD display to OLED. And quoting Ars Technica: "Color shifting and viewing angles can also be a problem with OLEDs. In this case, Apple has definitely not broken new ground. When the display is tilted in a direction such that you begin viewing it at an angle rather than directly, it shifts very starkly to a cool blue. The iPhone 8 display shifts, too; however, the iPhone X shifts more dramatically and more quickly. I also found the shifting to be much more pronounced than it is on the Samsung Galaxy S8+."
If It's math as you stated, then there is no equation to every answer when it comes to battery life, especially what you read off one Internet site with CNET. Its not an appropriate or relevant scenario. What about the hundreds of others who have experienced excellent battery life on iPhone X compared to theirs Plus model prior, which would be based on user settings anyways. There's no definitive answer to what you're saying.
Prove that two a new 6 or 7 Plus has worse battery life than an iPhone X...

No, I contributed by pointing out how the things you mentioned are just a matter of taste.
Look, I’m not trying to say you’re wrong to criticize, I’m saying you’re wrong to present it as something that applies to everyone. Why is it so hard to accept that some people actually prefer the screen, notch and all, and the battery life to the previous iPhones, or phones in general? In fact, the X is the closest to perfection of all the iPhones I’ve head. This is my subjective view, of course.
Answer me this: I like the OLED screen, I think the notch is cool and I am really satisfied with the battery life. If your criticism is “objective”, that would make me just plain wrong. Is that what you’re saying?
I had similar discussions about the new MacBook Pro. Since I liked it, according to critics here, I was not “a true pro”. It feels to me like people here who dislike Apple’s decisions or design choices need to present their dislikes not as personal views, but as Apple’s de facto mistakes. Those of us who like these things are somehow “wrong”.
Aevan's MO:
Repeat: Over and over. Over and over. Over and over. Aevan will repeat the same strawman over and over. He will state that objective things are subjective as a strawman argument.
