IPhone Doa

What were they thinking? This is not like Apple. Now every app developer will have to adapt their UI to this monstrosity.

>release iPhone 8
>immediately make it redundant by talking about how great a better version is, basically saying it is shit
>edge to edge display!
>clearly has a chunk missing at the top

What the fuck were they thinking?

What is the horizontal resolution of the bald spot?

probably about 800

I suppose you could say the phone is... top notch.

many deeper pixels.

Get out

no

Wow, big deal, now instead of ~3 aspect ratios for their phones and one for the tablets, they'll have to deal with a whole extra size. Android has it so much easier with hundreds of variants.

...

developers don't have to do anything they aren't already doing
jesus christ how tech illiterate are you spammers???

Late stage capitalism. They had to make it look different to justify releasing a new one. Its beyond a joke at this point.

Ebin

I really want someone to test and give definitive numbers to the screen creeping on both the corners and the chunk. I wonder if you can sue Apple for falsely advertising the screen's resolution.

>Late stage capitalism
So capitalism is about over? What comes next? Marxist-Le- uh... Marxist-Starbucksism?

Only if you're a dumb faggot. Might as well sue every smartwatch manufacturer that makes a circular screen, since they advertise a 1:1 square resolution.

Not everyone buys a new phone every year, so it's ok if a new version doesn't have groundbreaking features every time.

OK, but what if you've been waiting since the 5th generation, only to find that the 8th gen is exactly the same as the 7th?

I've never owned a smartphone.
Those of you who have smartphones: what would you miss most if you had to do without it? Just in daily life, I don't mean like for work stuff.

How are round smartwatches' resolutions advertised? I never checked.

I'm happily underwhelmed. I really love my matte black 7 Plus, and now thanks to these new phones I have close to zero desire to upgrade for the first time since the 5. I'll be passing this year.

Mine was advertised as 360x360, which is the resolution if you take the diameter. The ppi is what's advertised next to it, and what matters most. Mine was advertised as 267 ppi.

Is there a single video or a picture of that topbar with app notifications? How are they going to display them? Really makes me pic related

So get a now discounted 7. They're still great phones.

except that's what tim cook was claiming. "setting a standard for the next decade"... my ass.

>ignore the chunk missing from every video you watch and game you play
I'm a huge apple fanboy and defend everything they do, even the headphone removal, but this is fucking weird

I have all of my shit in my calendar and it's synced across multiple devices. I'm forgetful and if something comes up, I NEED to put it in my calendar asap. I'd be inconvenienced if I didn't have my smartphone within arms reach to do that. Not just work/school stuff. ex. If I'm making an appointment at the dentist, I'm leaning on the front desk with my calendar open.
That considered, it's possible to do on a dumb phone too, just not as swiftly, but we're talking about seconds here. lol

I have a lot of store apps on my phone instead of carrying a membership card in my wallet. Cleaner since I'm not holding onto physical cards. Don't know if I'd miss that, but again, I'd be inconvenienced without it.

I would miss always having a good camera.
And I'd miss my time-wasting games (Puzzle and Dragons)

Marketing babble, whatever.
I'm not even an applefag, never had an apple phone and don't intend to. But I also don't see anything wrong with Apple releasing a "new" product that isn't really groundbreaking.

>Now every app developer will have to adapt their UI to this monstrosity.
Doubt it

The rounded corners I could maybe deal with, but that bigass notch is fucking awful.

Well, normally the free market would correct this sort of thing but people seem to get stupider as time goes on.

That's just for the demonstration right? Let's say you open a video fullscreen from youtube it can't seriously be how it'll look like.

At least in the US we have a kinda weird "mixed economy". It's not really capitalism, it's not really socialism. During economic downturns, lefties blame capitalism, right-wingers blame gov't intervention, blah blah blah

Kind of a command economy with a free market veneer. I guess to trick you into thinking you can get ahead, while investment banks suck off the federal reserve and throw $billions at established companies.

This is how Youtube remains king of user-uploaded online videos despite being more abusive to its userbase with censorship and copyright strikes than any other platform. It loses $2billion a year and it doesn't matter. Fucking clown world.

Cook just pissed on Steve jobs grave with his gay penis

I have to say, I honestly didn't think apple couldn't top the smurf hair dryers.

you don't know anything, you're a fucking retard go back to r/mde

That's how it looks. It's fucking retarded.

I especially like the way their bezelless phone has a thick bezel ALL THE WAY AROUND the uh... Bezelless display?

xD

>Android has it so much easier with hundreds of variants.
>He still doesn't know that Android uses responsive window scaling like any other OS

Nah he's right.

IM NOT AN ECONOMIST BUT

Here's your socialist iPhone, user

self bump, pls answer
I bet it will look fucking awkward

Bros...
Don't disapoint me like this.

I think it looks cool!
How else can we distinguish ourselves between all of the other black color mobiles?

They will adopt it like always.
INNOVATION!

north koreans have their own brand of smart phone, there are even north korean state developed apps for it like the 'mosquito repellent app'
you can find videos of it on youtube

Steve Jobs wasn't there to tell them to think of something better

>reddit

there you go (I'm telling you to)

...

very good rebuttal you sure countered all his points

literally stolen western technology smuggled from china

gizmochina.com/2014/04/09/arirang-as1201-is-clone-of-uniscope-u1201-smartphone/

Wow, look at this totally socialist smartphone which is just a rebranded product of a country which participates in the global market.

north korea has a satellite too

It has. iPhone sales down first time ever

way to move the goalposts

>have a friend that's insanely frugal, flinches at the idea of buying a $10 lunch, makes it his entire life's purpose to save money

>already about to buy this shit only a year after he spent $900 on the iPhone 8

How does Apple do it? The brainwashing kikery is amazing.

How am I moving the goalposts? You said that North Korea has socialist produced smartphones, and I showed that their smartphones aren't actually North Korean.

>I got owned, the post

>app developers either have to cut off part of their UI or fill the sides in with a black bar

genius!

Steve Jobs would have never let a phone be released with that stupid notch in the screen.

I thought maybe they would at least have the parts on either side shut off during video playback but at the keynote the video was playing around the notch. What a joke.

Maybe XI will be better.

the point is to provide smartphone for your people not design a new one for the sake of it
it is produced in north korea, if not designed

No, because that's not true socialism. The question is whether or not socialism would ever be able to PRODUCE and provide technology to the point of this iPhone or even the latest android phone.

The current CEO definitely doesn't have the eye for detail Jobs had, and what's worse despite his lease mental ability he's spending time on stupid shit like lgbt issues and developing a tv studio.

I wish they'd get a CEO that focuses on the company and their products again. They've already started losing the content creators. Programmers are next.

Just waiting for the Jimmy Fallon or whatever late night fuck doing a skit about how no one with the new iPhone can see the cool shit going on behind the notch.

I am still using my iPhone 5 I got in 2012. Really tempted to buy the iPhone X and be "set" again for another 5 years. Although I do want to set money towards a PC with the 1080ti I bought in June.

But you are right, people spend a lot on frivolous things these days. Myself included.

I want to know why everyone is skipping the number 9

Craigh Federighi should be the CEO.

>This is not like Apple.
This is exactly like Apple

My guess is that the iPhone 9 will come next year and will serve as the lower tier/new SE coming in three form factors: 4", 4.7", 5.5". That way they can simplify their sale of phones.

>Apple is selling 8 different iPhones right now
How could they think that such a spread is a good thing?

developer.apple.com/videos/play/fall2017/801/

this fucking idiocy

My sides

third bump because I didnt even think about this, nor have I seen it addressed.

Looks like a Samsung lmao

>jamal wants his money for the drugs
>jamal and ja'de'shawn beat the shit out of you and unlock your phone by aiming it at your face which can still recognize it despite the blood and bruises
>they venmo themselves all your money

genius

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA

HAHAHAHAHHA

HAHAHAHAHAH I CAN'T FUCKING BREATHE HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA

tip top kek

They can do the same thing with your finger

why the fuck are rounded corners the newest meme
how many wasted pixels is that?
Is the screen long enough that watching widescreen video has vertical letterboxing so you don't get the ends all cropped off?

No

this is now a thing... computer as fuck

screen cap this so a redditor cant take credit for it

>got owned
Is it 2008?

Looks nice to me. Less top bezel.

what if I want to see the percentage number of how much battery I have left, or if bluetooth s turned on?

God, what is the fucking point? Just give it a fucking bezel. This "edge to edge" display meme has gone way too far.

I have a theory. This decision to have the top chunk is so that app developers get lazy and don't want to design 3 separate versions of an app and just exclusively design it for iphone x. That way they'll have a monopoly on developers too. The three separate versions an app developer has to make now is iphone x, old iphone, and android.

There's literally nothing wrong with having a small bezel for the camera and speaker. It's why it exists. Trying to cram them in your notification bar is beyond retarded.

If it means saving a little space for a persistent time and battery indicator, I'm all for it.

it'll just end up posted on /r/Sup Forums

right, but this literally takes features away from the models previous. they pass this shit off as """""""innovation""""""" but they are doing shit like taking away the headphone jack and removing the fingerprint scanner (and the home button with it). this year they even took away a part of the screen, what the hell

Only poorfags need to worry about the absence of a headphone jack.

Why would you need that useful and relevant information, goy?

what if I want to know if it's AM or PM and don't use 24 hour time?

You're going to want the iPhone X Plus

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

This. Waiting for a good iPhone and a jailbreak is like marching to Mordor.

999/10

holy shit man, unbelievable

fucking disgusting
why put so much effort into the borderless screen meme if you can't use the screen real estate on the edges?
