The iPhone 6 128GB Sept '14 was £699.00 in UK (I bought one) and $849.00 in USA
Based on apples markup today I would have been looking at £849.00 in Sept '14 (£150 more than I paid) and I would have passed thank you very much.
Got a tip for us?

I went into this event with the expectation that I'd preorder the iPhone X... but I truly can't get over that notch at the top. I know, you're probably getting tired of hearing people talk about it.
But it's like there's something in the way of my content...so... I'll be watching a nice video of my kids only to have some stupid awkward object covering part of the scene...it literally cuts off part of the picture
I guess what I could do to get used to it, is tape a big, awkwardly shaped piece of construction paper to the top part of my Samsung 50' 4k TV and have my content partially blocked for the next month.
I'm sorry, but it's hideous and ruins the experience for me.
Then we have the iPhone 8 which is basically an iPhone 7(s)(s)....and it will be obsolete a month after its release when the iPhone X (ten) comes out...
I have been an iPhone launch date guy for the past 5 years, but I don't think I've ever been this disappointed...

Worst first review ever... guy didn't even know what it was wanting to look at. just kept swiping up a hell a lot of times!
X gonna give it to ya! My dream phone. Perfect size with a full panel OLED display. None of these lame bezels. Face ID looks awesome.
Roll on the 27th!

my bet is that they will "software handle" it at a later stage. Maybe adding video controls like volume and play/pause at the sides
Dream phone with crappy battery life? Your dream should be the x plus release next year
What? It has 2 more hours of battery life compared to my 7. That's rockin.
It's not the best, it doesn't even have a full screen.
couldn't agree more. I wanted to go with the smaller size this year but was hoping they added portrait mode to it. since they didn't, I now need to decide if I want to go without portrait mode or suck it up and get the bigger model for another year.
You can't see all of your content on the screen...but at least you can turn your face into a talking pile of poop!
Swiping up to get to the home screen looks like throwing a pokeball.
Supposedly FaceId did not fail the first time, it just wasnt set up on the iPhone - on screen it said something like 'Enter your passcode to enable FaceId'. SO bad demo, but didnt appear that it was FaceId failing.
The phone had probably been rebooted. You must enter your passcode after rebooting your phone before you can use TouchID. FaceID is probably no different.
I hope everyone here continues to dislike the iPhone X... so I'll have a much easier time pre-ordering one 
Thanks all!
Thanks all!
Same, but only because they went ridiculous on pricing options for the 8 - if you're gonna part with that much cash may as well go all in on the big beastie. Alternatively the 7 still looks pretty good with its modest price cut... decisions...
Typical Apple drip feed their customers features that other phones have had for over half a decade and then charge them the best part of £1,200.00 for it.
Holy **** € 1159 (64 GB) and € 1329 (256 GB). That's insane. Where's 128? 64 for me is too small and I'm not going to pay 1329 euro for a bloody phone. Just ip67 and not ip 68, no minijack, no touch id, ugly camerabump and cutout on the front. No thanks, not for that price.
€ 1329 my god.

That is not how it will work. The OS makes sure that cutout area is never used for anything except a few icons, maybe video playback controls. Your video will not be cut off or a game have part of its viewport cut off. A webpage won’t scroll into that area either. You can consider the display to start from underneath the cutout.
I think the part where the new iPhone will succeed or fail is how fast it unlocks without fingerprint sensor. Ideally it’s a case of just picking it up and using it, worst case is a noticeable delay every time you want to use it.
Except that is not what they showed during the keynote
They show video playing behind that godawful notch
