heh Jack you make me laugh, it's not even available yet and when it is will only work at a range of 1 foot, what's the point? :lol1: and ~$200, feck that hah. I think i'll wait til the tech has evolved a bit, by which time all android devices will be making use of it properly.

I have no idea what the point is, I just wanted to laugh at your reaction.

Troll.

Hardly, trolling takes effort. You troll yourself.

No it doesn't all it needs is a lack of intelligence which you are a champion of ;)

How the world has moved on from the heady frenzied days of the new Apple device. Only a handful of people queue outside Apple in London where only a few years ago they would be laying vigel for the new device. At last normality has returned. It's a phone that's all

It'll be interesting to see if there are a load of clowns queuing up for the iPhone X. I expect there will be a lot more interest in that, but regardless it's clear demand is much lower than Apple expected for the 8.

This Chinese Apple store had loads of barriers ready for hoards of buyers, but had to just pack them away when only a handful of people turned up! This doesn't look good for Apple, but they probably did originally plan to release the 8 at the same time as the X.

The face-recognition unlock will need to work well on the X. If this is a bit flaky, or twins and other family members find they can unlock someones phone, then I think a lot of X models will get returned.

Kin hell Andyroid, that’s committed of you, not many would go to look at a queue.

Ridiculous , is it going to replace your laptop/tablet ?

because you could of course buy both a phone sim spec and tab for the same outlay

My 6+ to a great degree has replaced my Laptop and Tablet when they're not around.

I haven't bought a Laptop since 2010 and I don't intend on buying one again. That one is still a rock start due to buying clever.

I can get £200 for my current device in CEX so can sell it for more than that, lets say £250, it's almost perfect and is still an all day device. That's £500 total in 3 years, cheap. This one is £250 more and there's a lot more to it, it's the pinnacle of it's generation so will be long lasting, I expect four years. You moaners never look at Total Cost of Ownership.

Good luck!!

I like the comment half way down "who the hell is using phones to call people" I'll let you know if and when I use it.

Why on earth would you shell out that sort wedge to make a call lol

£950 for an un-innovative crackling pos, must sting a bit that.

Don't suppose it'll take more than 13 months get software fix

Only 13mnths ;) this was an issue on some of the 7's too I've read, sounds like Apple's QC is lacking to say the least! How the feck can you release something without testing the earpiece properly :s Chinese tatt :)

Ha! You fools, reading about problems with products you don't own... still... years now.

I've purchased the pinnacle of development for a generation of iPhones and mobile devices in general. The X changes the game quite radically and I'd buy it but I can't afford to buy two in a row for **** and kicks anymore so I'll start to look at the Xs or whatever it's called. Some of your favourite manufacturers may be broken trying to keep up, for the next three years every device you buy will be competing with the one I just bought, face it.

I'm pretty sure my 6s problems have been software , as well as dodgy aerial

( despite a Genius telling me they couldn't find anything wrong....)

Its all hunky dory now , but only with good 4g sig :)

i do own one though luls, a 7, doesn't have the crackly issue though. Hah the X changes nothing unless you are 10 and addicted to emojis.

Oh ****, why did I buy one today when I already own one, thanks for the heads up I’ll cancel.

The ability to to recognise objects to a level that’s secure enough for banks, nothing. You see emojis I see possibility, it’s why you’re a **** and I’m not.

Youre saying I’m right again.

Not really though

how is it my 50 quid android ( as it happens) is able to cope with 3g sig ?!

Bank security is awful though :) and by the time that's in use the iphone XX will be coming out, just like your imaginary air charging. Possibilities my arse, in reality it offers nothing more than any other current phone for sale. To think otherwise is moronic.

Try an iPhone from that era too, 4s is still good.

Apple have added something current phones don’t have, luckily for you it will help the blind greatly. You know that notch? It has stuff in it.

What, that will actually be useful when it's released?

You don’t see what it does for imaging and that’s fine by me. It had better be good out of the box or the lack of secure login will make the news, Did you not see anything other than emoji? Don’t be a cock, you’re sometimes quite normal.
