I can not wait!!! Apple take my $$ the BLACK X is calling my name.
I think I must be going deaf....
Can't see any compelling reason to upgrade from my Iphone7 which still does all I need from a smartphone. I guess the additional processing power is required to do the facial recognition thing, and while the home button may have gone (which may or may not be an improvement, depending on your POV) it has gained an extra side button to activate Siri.

I'd like to say that surely this time it is at a price point that will make people stop, think, and then decide against it, but unfortunately I know that some people (particularly those who see it as a status symbol) will still be willing to pay it anyway despite how ridiculously high it is.
Personally, I just can't fathom how anyone can justify to themselves that paying such an amount is worth it.
A bit on the pricey side that X variant.. By the way the iPhone SE is £299 at Argos and Currys/PCWorld.
I am going to upgrade my 6s to the 8 I think.. 300 Squid for a better screen is just a no deal for me
The X is just an 8 with a better screen when it comes right down to it.

does the faceID actually work though?

guess not.
I'm sure it was just a glitch to do with the stage lights or something. don't think it would affect them that much.

hmm. $6billion wiped off stock value.
that could have gone better..
You really have to watch videos with a "dent" in them?
Wow, I did not expect them to actually charge a grand for a phone. If it was a limited edition, maybe, just maybe, I could let them justify it but nope, it's ridiculous what companies are charging for phone prices now. I paid £600 for my Samsung S8+ and even then I feel that was overpriced - this is simply daylight robbery!
Damn straight. It looks very good and the marketing will be second to none but my S8 is pretty damned good and was nowhere near a grand. It's a lot of money to ask and it will probably make a lot of people who would otherwise go straight for the iPhone consider those Android phones on the next shelf. There's too much decent competiton for them to price like this.
Well, I'm on the 5S still, and slowly coming around to thinking about upgrading my phone to a newer model. I will only buy the handset, no contracts, so it doesn't really work out that expensive once you factor in I keep a phone for longer.
With that said.... one grand for a phone? Not going to happen. I'll go back to Android.
