More like replace the iPhone X as my next purchase
I know how tired we all are of the "Steve Jobs would never have allowed this" schtick but in this case I actually think it's true... IMO they blew it with the notch on that display because that is one fork-in-the-eye level compromise. For a truly revolutionary iPhone they should have waited until they could have touchID under the display and a way to avoid that notch.
The Note 8 display (and the V30, and others...) with it's next-to-nothing bezels and symmetrical screen looks way more space age than the X, and facial recognition even though it might work smoother than Samsung's implementation is just so clearly taking after someone who was faster than them (also with wireless charging).
Anyway, I didn't mean to veer into the "x copying y" ditch because that does lead nowhere, I'm just mentioning those things because I think they'll deter from how revolutionary the X comes across to at least part of the public. My biggest gripe is the non symmetrical screen, because that notch simply contradicts the whole point of having an edge to edge screen.
I hear ya with the ecosystem blues though... Because what really turned me on in that presentation was the AW 3 with cellular.. That thing I just want.
