Couldn't help but notice the horizontal portion of the screen (or vertical in landscape mode) is smaller than my current iPhone 6s Plus. This means 16:9 content will actually look noticeably smaller, unless you expand and crop it.
I am confident Apple is going to release a larger version of it next year, with a form factor that is closer to the iPhone 6/6s/7/8 Plus, and the current iPhone X form factor will drop in price and becoming the small version. As someone who prefers a larger screen size over small form factor, I would be disappointed that I didn't wait.
Here are some screenshots of the iPhone Simulator and iPhone X simulated on top. When watching 16:9 video, it is clearly not an optimal experience either way.
Also noticed the landscape-mode home screen isn't working, like the smaller-size iPhones. At first I thought this was a bug in the Simulator, but it appears to be the case in one of the hands-on videos as well. Comment your thoughts below.
