Was just considering picking this up and now there are rumors that it's going to be discontinued. Damn it.
?
It just means it'll be replaced by a new XI model or something.
Yeah which is why I won't be picking this up. There's no reason to now lol
Hopefully the next one fixes the weird notch. It was one of the few things holding me back.
But there's always a new model coming within the year?
You're going to be disappointed if you're waiting for the notch to disappear this year. There are physical limitations at play. Maybe within five revisions if we're lucky.

Yeah I figured. I know it's necessary its just an eye sore.
I like the notch. The top remains symmetrical in its design, without compromising the "full screen" nature of the phone. I'd rather have the notch than a black bar covering the whole top.
It's a non issue to me. I don't notice it unless I want to.
There will always be a newer model of anything...so with your logic, why buy anything. If it's an upgrade, just go for it. I went from IPhone 5 to the X and do not regret it. I kept waiting saying to myself "something else will just come out"...well 4 years went by and I should have just upgraded earlier!
Yup, I forgot the notch was even a thing after a few hours with the phone. It's only an issue if you make it one.
It IS a non-issue. You are still getting more screen real estate vs older iPhones where the entire sensor bar was an ugly black box.
People have the same attitude with graphics cards. So weird.
You will spend your whole life waiting, if you want it get it - a new model does not impact yours if you're happy with it, and we're still 8 months from new iPhones.
True but they don't usually discontinue the old models after a few months. That's my point. Seems like they're dropping the X pretty fast so I mind as well just wait.
The notch is part of their branding it probably won't be going away for sometime. Without the notch, it's just another bezel less rectangle.
To be fair I've never even seen the X in person. I probably wouldn't mind it too much up close.
Oh I see. Nah, it's just going to be a better version of the X. They just don't want to sell their premium phone for less than. $1k so they're not discounting it.
It won't be in a few months, they'll stop making it in the summer so that they can start making the XI which will probably just be a faster version of the X. They'll discontinue it when the the the new iPhones come out in late September.
I.e. they'll release the iPhone XI and iPhone 9 iPhone 8 and 7 will become the cheap options. Probably don't want to sell the X as well to keep the number of SKUs down.
Totally makes sense. Sorry for the misunderstanding. When I heard "discontinued" I immediately assumed it had problems lol
Didn't even factor in that they would want to limit models.
If you're not in a rush, I'd wait.
Will be interesting to see what they do.
My screenshot functionality is completely broken this week. The little box doesn't come up in the corner and the screen doesnt even flash during a screenshot. It just comes up in photos. Also, since I have iCloud Photos turned on all the photos are immediately in the cloud and dont open sometimes/require a wait to load. It's kinda maddening. '
It feels like the bugs are being ignored now.

What is this nonsense about them discontinuing the phone in mid-2018? I expected this when they announce the iPhone XI in September (and release in November or whatever). Not... in a few months.
Unfortunately some [clickbait] sites took MacRumor's summary of Ming-Chi Kuo's (analyst) comments that Apple would launch three new models of the iPhone in autumn, replacing the current iPhone X, and rewrote it to make it appear that the X was being discontinued early. In fact, what Ming-Chi Kuo presented was an iPhone 5 -> iPhone 5S + iPhone 5C scenario, where "last year's model" is replaced by a cheaper "new" model alongside the standard yearly upgrade. In this case, the speculation is that there will be a new OLED iPhone "X2", a new OLED iPhone "X2"+, and a downmarket LCD-based iPhone X replacement. This is all 8 months away, of course.
Here's the original quote:
AirPower looks like a maxipad, there is a absolutely nothing special about its design, it's actually one of the plainest products they have ever come out with...or have never come out with.
Trust me, I yearn for a design this simple after sifting through a couple of third party chargers. It's all that's needed really for charging three things at once, and placing them wherever on the mat.
Are these apps that much better on Android devices?
Wow, it really is easy to brainwash the masses with fake news. Jeez.

No mention of iMessage iCloud sync. I hope that doesn't mean it's not coming back.
The reason they'd be dropping the X wouldn't be because its successor would be drastically different in design.
They might be dropping the X because - while usually, when the new model hits, last year's model goes down by $100. (so like around 500-600 bucks)
But as opposed to the iPhones before it, the X costs $ 999.
A $899 iPhone X from last year is simply not a relevant product. Anyone paying that much for a phone would just opt to get the most recent model. There's no place for "what was last year's premium priced model" in Apple's lineup.
In all likelihood, Apple's lineup next year will be: iPhone X2 (or XS or X-2, or new X or whatever it's named), iPhone 8S, iPhone 8
There won't be an iPhone X without the notch. The notch is part of the iPhone's new design language, whether you like it or not.
edit: oh this has been answered already - quite a while ago, even. My bad. I kinda overlooked the replies.
Hey, I've got one, not knocking it*. Just surprised is all, I don't remember previous iPhone threads on the Other Site maintaining this much traction. Quite a refutation of all the claim chowder about how it was doomed to fail before it launched.
Except for that Control Center that's still up top. And how quickly it wants to turn off the screen when looking away.
If someone wants to steal my phone, a cable isn't going to stop them.
Alright I've been off the internet for two weeks and I come back to this "claim chowder" nonsense, what's up with that?
Like it's clever and I like it but it's everywhere after being nowhere
Gruber coined that one, years ago, for all the lazy articles proclaiming Apple's doom. It has a nice ring to it.
Sorry if this has been mentioned already but FaceID seems way faster to me since the latest update (not beta).
Gruber desperately needs an editor. Too much aimless political ranting and posts that go beyond basically linking someone else and saying "I agree" are few and far between these days. He used to be a good crank but he's become a bad crank.
I still use it every now and then.
Wish they would make the "O" mouth shape more prominent.
I don't think anyone really hyped it. It just demonstrated the technology in the phone. That's all I ever saw it as.
People always want to doom Apple. Yet they're almost always successful. It's clockwork. See aux jack.
I've looked for one around launch and couldn't find one. I'll ask again now. Is there any sort of third party lightning to 3.5mm adapter without that short middle cable section? I'm never switching from my custom made Westone IEMs to those garbage wireless headphones so I'm stuck using the adapter. I guess I could shell out $100 for the official westone lighting cable but tbh if there is a cheaper solution I'd rather go that route.
The one thing I never thought with the X was "this isn't fast enough".
Honestly shockingly stable for me. Can't speak to the speed difference as the thing was already blisteringly fast
