I’d say if you can, wait until the new version comes out. It’s only 2 months away. If the new version isn’t for you, the current X should be available at decent pricing.
 
Are people having issues based on distance from the screen? Mine seems to work pretty good but there are issues like when I am in the car and it is in it's base and I look at it, sometimes I have to do it 3 or 4 times.
Funny. When driving in my car with the X in my car mount was the time I found FaceID to be the most reliable.
 
After being somewhat anti-iPhone X since it’s release, I took the plunge yesterday.

My SE

Has SE, is anti-iPhone X. I wouldn't even go into discussion with you, haha.

... the only thing killing me is the no headphone jack/the dongle. So annoying. Guess I’ll be updating my headphones too soon!

That's the thing. Wired headsets won't be produced in not a long time. Sure, some will be made to fill the void for those "I'll stick to one of the oldest working models, hate the new one", very much like the "SE and hate iPhone X" dude. Oh wait, that's you. Haha, im just joking around. But seriously, I had to switch out my wired Beats for the newest Jabra wireless, and boy I didn't even know what a difference it makes. Future is coming old man :)

Edit: Pro-tip is to have the extension dongle attached to your wired headset. It doesn't make a difference. You only expand the cable with a few white centimeters.

Hi guys,

Long time lurking, don't post often. Looking for some thoughts. I currently have the iPhone 6S - was thinking of getting the iPhone X.

Few questions
1 - is the 1,000 investment worth it?
2 - when does the new iPhone come out? Should I wait? Get the X?

Thank you!

Is it worth it: To me? Absolutely. To you? I have no way of knowing.

When does the new phone come out? Historically, Septembers are the release months. Last year, the X was delayed a couple of months, but indications (rumors) are that this year there won't be a delay.

Should I wait? That depends on how desperately you need a new phone. If you can wait until the September announcement, I would.

Get the X? Only you can answer that question. I got my X on launch day and love it immensely. I will be getting the Plus sized version of the X that comes out this year and cannot wait for it.

So, I made the jump.

Decided to go with the apple iPhone program and get the 64GB with apple care for $49/month!
[doublepost=1533686642][/doublepost]Few things,

I noticed battery percentage shows in the drop down box, is there any fix to that?

No fix, These are the things that will annoy you about the X, notch/homebar/landscape mode/keyboard and wasted screen space and maybe face Id.
 
Yes screen usability because of the "safe area" developers have to work with, have you not used the X in landscape mode or do you even have one?

I don’t use one for personal usage but do use the one for development purposes. Could you attach a few screenshots to show which bit you’re talking about?
