I will be buying as well. I know it's expensive, but according to my calculations, it's only ~$20 or so more per month on AT&T Next than my current 7+. Pretty much a no-brainer.
New design which is super awesome. I like screen real estate. FaceID seems like it'll be really, really cool. I think it'll be faster when they refine the technology for next year's release, but the core functions seem really intuitive and downright fun. Those Animojis, even if you don't like emojis, are pretty freakin' cool. This is the first legit redesign in 3+ years. I'm excited. 256 GB Space Grey X, come my way. Sucks it's not for another 6-7 weeks, if I'm lucky to get one on launch day, but I can wait.

The answer.. no. I knew after WWDC I wasn't buying any Apple device products in 2017. They are all minor changes, easily can wait till next year or the year after. IOS just hasn't caught up to hardware. Until Apple gets serious about software development again, I see no reason to purchase new devices. All my developed apps run on everything so I can coast for a long time.
The X is a "minor change"?
And what software would you like to see on a cell phone that would catch up to the hardware?
