Unlike the X the screen isn't actually made for HDR though.

It does have the brightness and WCG
Not sure of the rest. Still looks noticeably better.

Was just considering picking this up and now there are rumors that it's going to be discontinued. Damn it.
Yeah which is why I won't be picking this up. There's no reason to now lol?
It just means it'll be replaced by a new XI model or something.
Yeah I figured. I know it's necessary its just an eye sore.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.
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.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.
It's a non issue to me. I don't notice it unless I want to.

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.

People have the same attitude with graphics cards. So weird.
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.Yeah which is why I won't be picking this up. There's no reason to now lol

To be fair I've never even seen the X in person. I probably wouldn't mind it too much up close.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.

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.True but they don't usually discontinue the old models after a few months. That's my point.

Totally makes sense. Sorry for the misunderstanding. When I heard "discontinued" I immediately assumed it had problems lolIt 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.

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.
iPhone X would hurt product brand value & lineup of 2H18 new models if it continues to sell at a lower price after 2H18 new models launch: Lowering iPhone X's price after the 2H18 new models launch would be a negative to product brand value given 3D sensing and OLED display are features of the new high-price model. Additionally, to sell iPhone X at a lower price may have a negative impact on shipments of the new 6.1" LCD iPhone in 2H18. Thus, we estimate iPhone X will reach end-of-life (EOL) around the middle of 2018.
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.
Wow, it really is easy to brainwash the masses with fake news. Jeez.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.
Business Chat is a new way for users to communicate directly with businesses right within Messages. This feature will launch in Beta with the public availability of iOS 11.3 this spring, with the support of select businesses including Discover, Hilton, Lowe's and Wells Fargo. With Business Chat, it's easy to have a conversation with a service representative, schedule an appointment or make purchases using Apple Pay in the Messages app. Business Chat doesn't share the user's contact information with businesses and gives users the ability to stop chatting at any time.
Health Records:
The new Health Records feature brings together hospitals, clinics and the existing Health app to make it easy for consumers to see their available medical data from multiple providers, whenever they choose. Patients from participating medical institutions will have information from various institutions organized into one view and receive regular notifications for their lab results, medications, conditions and more. Health Records data is encrypted and protected with a passcode.
Additional iOS 11.3 Features:
No mention of iMessage iCloud sync. I hope that doesn't mean it's not coming back.
- Apple Music will soon be the home for music videos. Users can stream all the music videos they want without being interrupted by ads. They can also watch the hottest new videos, the classics or ones from their favorite artists back-to-back in new music video playlists.
- Apple News now makes it easier to stay up-to-date on the most important videos of the day with a new Video group in For You, and improved Top Stories.
- HomeKit software authentication provides a great new way for developers to add HomeKit support to existing accessories while protecting privacy and security.
- Support for Advanced Mobile Location (AML) to automatically send a user's current location when making a call to emergency services in countries where AML is supported.
The reason they'd be dropping the X wouldn't be because its successor would be drastically different in design.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.
I just realized we're on 114 pages for a phone that cost a grand. What a time.
If someone wants to steal my phone, a cable isn't going to stop them.Easier to get your phone stolen that way.
I might buy one for the office though.
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.
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.
I still use it every now and then.
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.Hey, I've got one, not knocking it*.

Anyone have iOS 11.3 impressions? Hearing good things about speed improvements on the X
https://www.auxillite.comI'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.
