What do these mean again? I know the cables on its way out because they start to only charge from one side, but what exactly does it mean?
I got an iPhone 8+ when it first released using the Apple Upgrade program. But I really wish I had waited and gotten an X. I love how small they are without losing any screen real estate.
Looking forward to switching over this fall (but really hoping they give that notch the axe!)

The Plus has a wider screen than the X, so you do lose screen real estate.
You didn't think you could have a larger screen size with the a smaller frame, did you? Edge to edge the phone is larger. However, it's at the expense of phone width. X is still a gorgeous phone and feels really nice in the hands (ladies).
Anecdotally, one of the bigger selling points I've heard behind the X > 8+ has been "the phone is smaller but the screen is bigger." I guess it's true in someways, but not completely. Good to know.
You get more vertical info with it in portrait orientation, but it's noticeably worse in landscape for videos and gaming.
I especially notice the smaller space when typing, as the narrow screen size squishes the keyboard a fair amount. If you have larger thumbs you'll definetely notice the difference.
Few months into iPhone X.
I changed my mind and would do away with the notch tbh. It's not that annoying but the novelty wears off fast and there are minor nuisances that come with it. I'd rather have Apple spreading those sensors horizontally, creating a thinner-than the-notch uniform top bezel that would give us a proper status bar back.
I'm convinced that the biggest problem with that is that it would look a lot like one of the more recent Galaxies. Could still point out the lack of bezel on the bottom though (although the Galaxy will probably also get that sooner or later). So yeah, branding. But it comes a bit at the expense of the user experience.

Of course we'd rather not have the notch. But I prefer it over the other solutions. It's extra screen space. Apple could just black out the whole horizontal area the notch occupies, but they didn't. That's what the other companies do, essentially.
I don't even notice the notch anymore tbh. Then again I didn't like 2 days into owning the phone.
I get that argument and I defend it myself. What I'm saying is that I'd be in favour or spreading those sensors in the notch more thinly over the whole width, if that would be possible. Otherwise yeah, it would be pointless, but then fix the status bar with software. Let it be below the ears. Because it's an ironically negative side effect of creating more real estate.
i just feel like I'm not on top of my phone's status so much anymore - i.e. if it kicked into DND or not, if it has bluetooth headphones paired, if it's still connected to the VPN, and so forth - without swiping up and down frequently.
It's not as wide but you get a bigger screen overall. 5.5" vs 5.8"
You get a bigger diagonal. That's different from bigger screen because the aspect ratios are different. I think the Plus' display is still larger in area.
I think I read somewhere you get more screen availability compared to the 8+.
Seeing rumors of a February reveal, but I've been seeing CES reveal rumors for months.
The leaks are looking like it'll be an incremental update from the S8, the way the S7 was from the S6.
I'm thinking I may start my exodus from the Apple ecosystem. Maybe I'll wait for this S9 reveal.
I thought the little cutaway illustrations show the components already side by side - so the notch is as thin as it could be. Spreading them further apart would just give you a top bezel the size of the notch.
If you sell next year you can get a refund for half your AC+ so you'd only pay for the year you use. (Or sell the phone with AC+ included for a stronger selling price)
The iPhone X has ruined all displays for me including my 2015 MacBook Pro and that's mainly because of TrueTone. I hated it when I first saw it in stores and wondered why anyone wanted to make their screen more yellow, but after using it it just feels natural and my Mac looks so blue in comparison.
Of course, it's also really sharp. The pixel count on the X isn't too far off from my 15" screen.

So my iPhone X was acting really strange yesterday. It was always hot to the touch and the battery drained in less than 4 hours. It then wouldn't charge past 90%. I turned it off and on again and it seems to have fixed the problem. It's no longer hot and the battery life is back to being excellent. How strange
Not that strange, you likely just had an app running in the background that wasn't turning off. Perhaps something using location services?
I have background app refresh turned off and location services off when not using the app. So not sure
Do you have True Tone turned on? That made everything really yellow for me.
That's the True Tone setting. It changes the tone of the screen depending on the lighting in the environment. You can turn it off somewhere in the Settings.
Yeah I've tried to turn off. True Tone and then it's horrifically blue. I've never experienced this with any mobile phone before
i've been getting a lot of straight up freezes lately. the phone becomes completely unusable including the home bar. first time since launch.
So I have this really dumb question. If Face ID is not working (due to my position, clothing or whatever else) how can I read my lockscreen notifications? If I unlock the screen with passcode by swiping to go home I'll go to the home screen... which I both don't want to, and it will automatically clear some notifications as far as I'm aware.
Also, groovy little bug:

Damn, I never realized how much ads slow down loading and performance until I installed a content blocker. Safari's pretty much flying now.
I expect battery life to improve too. 90% of my time is spent browsing Safari.

You wouldn't happen to be running the iOS 11.2.5 Developer Beta 3 (came out yesterday), would you?
It's made my iPhone and iPad damn near unusable.
It should prompt you for your Passcode if Face ID fails the auth. Just tried myself, tapping a notification while being face covered and a "Use Passcode" button appears in the middle of the screen followed by the digit pad when it fails.
But then I will pop right into the app of that notification, right?
Right I misread your original post, you're talking about the attention aware reveal of extra info in a notification. Yeah I think those only work with authenticated Face ID.
Went from a 7 to the X last week. Love it. My fiancée took my 7 and when I was setting it up for her i was shocked at how bad the screen seemed. It felt like I was using my old 3G. Crazy how quick I adapted to it as well; kept swiping up instead of using the home button
So I haven't heard anything regarding Meltdown/Spectre vulnerability on iOS devices. Has this been partially patched already as macOS was, or is iOS still wide open to attack?
I really wish I could use my X without a case....& i wanna take off this damn screen protector too.
