iPhone 10
Spotted the iPhone 10 is due for release towards the end of the year as tempted to go back to Apple but now seeing the cost I'm not so sure
Product Price Pre-order date Shipping date
iPhone X 64GB: £999. 256GB: £1,149 October 27 November 3
Crazy prices especially for the 246GB which I would go for to match my Hauwei Mate 9 pro which I've had coming upto 6 months now and has been a superb phone. I do like Android and probably prefer it but find the lack of available Apps frustrating at times.
Anyone planning on changing to the 10?

Android through and through for me, now on my 7th Samsung in as many years, the S8+ is FANTASTIC!
£1,150 for a crApple handset, erm just no - But I'm sure the fanboys will lap it up

I've been carrying around my personal Nexus 5 and my work iPhone for the last year or so - just couldn't get on with the iPhone as you have to do things its way.... So I've handed back my work phone (but kept the SIM) and bought a OnePlus 5 - it's dual-SIM so I just have one phone to carry... lovely...
Personally I don't think any mobile phone is worth £1k+ but, that said, I'm sure there will be some people who have to have the latest Apple gadget and don't know the value of money so will buy the iPhone X

The X is just too expensive for a phone I think, so I will probably get an 8 instead.

I was going to go for the iPhone 8 then saw the Samsung S8 was imminent but wasn't keen on the tinny single speaker, I had a HTC M7 at the time with the boomsound twin speakers which was great then came across the Hauwei which has twin speakers.
I agree the cost of Iphone 10 is daylight robbery. I can't see the prices dropping though if its an Apple unless you go second hand or end of line.

I'm a big fan of the iPhone, although the cost of the x is just rediculous. I have had iPhones every 24 months since the 3GS bar two years where I had a galaxy s3. For me iOS is better. I always go for the previous gen usually it happens to be the 'S' due to contract timings as the tech is refined.
To be honest I doubt most would even know the difference between the generations if the phones looked the same.

Especially the fail of the face ID on stage. Was a bit embarrassing.
Lovely phone tho. What you pay for is the fit and finish and that OLED screen looks incredible over 450ppi insane. OLED are amazing but have some negatives too like colour accuracy they seem to have solved the issue and its 120hz like the iPad, completely different experience everything is just so seamless. They seem to have created a lovely display round bezels etc. Its also nice they have added the twin lens camera to a more standard size so you don't have to buy the fablet plus. I struggle with the standard 6 size getting it in and out of my pocket wouldn't want a bigger phone.
Had my 6s stolen when my house was burgled and been getting by on a 5s so will wait to see then decide. 8 looks a great phone.
They arent fooling anyone this isn't really innovation its more adding more features that makes the experience interesting but you will forget about in a week or two. Its meant to be the phone to set the next 10 years in motion can't see it myself. They are solving problems for problems that are already solved, Touch ID is so convenient, with face ID say goodbye to unlocking your phone if its sat on a table without bending over for it to scan your face. Just seems like they are trying to find ways to innovate but there aren't really problems to solve on a smartphone.
They need to think about replacing the phone entirely, the smartphone race is over. Tech isn't moving fast enough to support year on year growth like 2008. The fact you can get by and not have a bad experience on a 3-4 year old device says a lot. Back in the day they bricked the original iPad within 3 years because it wasn't fast enough to run the software.
I want a new one because I'm using a hand me down but if I wasn't bothered I could use the 5s for the foreseeable future.
Unfortunately I'm an apple fan through and through but doesn't mean I'm an idiot. iPhone 7 looks like a fantastic deal being free on most contracts now.

...but Samsung have been using screens like this for years and are going to be supplying Apple with the screens for the iPhone X. Even the old Galaxy S6 & S7 were 575+ PPI so Apple is playing catch-up and hasn't even bettered 3-year old tech... they've really lost their way since Steve Jobs died...

Yup, and the iris recognition on my S8+ works instantly, every time, even in darkness!PerryGunn wrote: ↑Wed Sep 13, 2017 10:06 pm...but Samsung have been using screens like this for years and are going to be supplying Apple with the screens for the iPhone X.

£1,000 for a mobile?
I'd rather spend that on a set of wheels for my Z4.
