I honestly don't see what the big deal is

I honestly don't see what the big deal is.

dude iphone x lmao

i'll show u a big deal bby ',;~()

Some people shits on anything Apple. They're happy being eternally unhappy

On Sup Forums it's mostly just sour grapes.
Notch isn't ideal but all the vids of it actually being used look a lot better than the rendering.

Trying to look at it objectively its a very expensive phone that gets you a well supported operating system, industry leading camera technology, industry leading face unlock technology, fastest current mobile benchmarks, and a large screen. All this comes at the expense of no fingerprint scanner, aux plug, expandable storage, the notch, and $1000.

Honestly not everyone's cup of tea but it's not literally satan in phone form.

That's the thing, there isn't one. This place has just become another amplifier of sensationalist meme articles on the internet.

I can't believe people care enough about this. There's no reason to buy the latest and greatest at all. Sup Forums should know this.

It will get burn-ins in no time.

>a well supported operating system, industry leading camera technology, industry leading face unlock technology, fastest current mobile benchmarks, and a large screen. All this comes at the expense of no fingerprint scanner, aux plug, expandable storage, the notch
You think all of this warrants $1000?

The Apple campus is full of rich people and they still want to be rich.

>industry leading camera technology
nah that's the Pixel 2
>industry leading face unlock technology
is this really a big deal?
>a large screen
other phones have higher screen to body ratio

I'm not saying it's shitty, but it's really no better than many others yet it's one of the most expensive phones you can buy

Haha no doubt, if the existence of the iPhone 8 is any indication of that. The iPhone X would've been priced just like the 8 if they didn't bother with it. Seriously, fuck Apple.

there is more whitespace on the left than on the right, this triggers my OCD

no theres not

...

iOS is one of the most locked down operating systems out there. Customizability and versatility are standard on Android.

Apple design is a pure clusterfuck, just because the no bezels meme became popular with Andy Rubin's shitty phone.
Not anymore. Rooting is harder than ever.

Also GAPPS have the tools to kick out the users if they found modded rom.

Even if you haven't rooted you have more customization.

idc about retarded homescreens.

this triggers your autism*

and everyone with a good taste

...

Honestly I find the bar more annoying than the notch

>Not anymore. Rooting is harder than ever.
$ fastboot oem unlock
$ fastboot flash bootloader twrp.zip
$ adb sideload magisk.zip

Say goodbye for many apps.

I just installed netflix.

>not hacking banking apps

>Turning off the phone requires 2 buttons being hold
>Gestures, gestures, gestures meanwhile it's only a click of a button on android

What the hell Apple is thinking? I use Android but holy shit, I feel bad for Steve Jobs.

>On Sup Forums it's mostly just sour grapes.
If I legitimately thought the iPhone X was actually better, I'd fucking buy one; I can afford it.
It's just a shit phone, and I have a phone that's better in pretty much every way.

It's a smaller screen than an iPhone 8 (iPhone 7 and 6)
And it removes one of the most useful memes, which is the fingerprint scanner
Also all the Sup Forums shilling
You can hate a lot of things when there are 50 threads per day parroting "admifrchgudjbfhyoudbuyssbdhitirhdfvhdxsbhefdxs"

Internally it's an iPhone 8. I'm just not willing to splash out for a phone that was barely different from my last phone. I'd like something fresh and new.

Why does the top of the screen be fucking white? It's AMOLED, kinda missing the point here.
If the top was black they could have added an always-on battery indicator and clock next to the gap. It would be useful + look more consistent, why are they doing this?

It should be black. If nothing can be stored up there besides battery and signal strength then why not just make i the same color as the notch?

Because it’ll look like a big forehead bezel

rotate it now

>OLED screen
>notch blends in with dark backgrounds
>it obnoxiously doesn't blend with light backgrounds
>majority of iOS is light backgrounds
>no option to toggle dark theme

steve jobs wouldn't have approved this.

try a full screen app

The big deal is that smartphone manufacturers can't offer real improvements now that every new smartphone has a powerful SoC, a camera capable of at least 4K 30 fps and FHD 60 fps, and a screen that is at least FHD, so they have to push retarded memes like "thin", "no headphone jack", or "muh bezel-less" to be able to release a new phone every year. In this case, Apple executed it in the worst way possible, they literally had to get rid of the fingerprint sensor for it, and ended up with a retarded screen that has a notch and rounded corners because of their retarded design ("our phone can't be a rectangle, think different"). And to top it all of, the iPhone X has a camera bump instead of, I don't know, maybe a bigger battery and no camera bump? I've never owned a samshit phone, so I'm not fanboying here, but the note 8 did the bezel-less meme a million times better.

If the backgroud was black and the icons were white, it would look like there's no bezel at all, just a notification bar. Would look way better imo, but I guess I could only really tell if I saw the two side-by-side IRL.

That's an unknown thing.

meh, I can make one, give me a few.

I posted this in another thread but I like it because the screen goes all the way up to the 4 corners of the phone.

Better than what the note 8 does or what the Mix phones

The notch is barely going to be noticeable

apple fans have lives devoid of any substantial meaning so they live through their consumption of iproducts.

ok so oddly enough, constrained to safe spaces but with full screen and hidden status bar makes it look pretty fucking awful with those bars in there.

with no safe areas it does look kinda cool though I'm breaking apple guidelines and now the status bar is not hidden anymore : /

Yeah that looks terrible.

ok so I'm just a junior dev and AutoLayout is one of those things that are particularly difficult to master. I have to head off but if you guys want to see other examples let me know. I may try a Unity or something like a GLKit view to see how full screen games can look like.

this looks far worse you fool

Looks pretty great to me

I actually like it. Maybe not the top obviously. but the lower part looks neat.

That being said, most apps will have controls down the button anyway so.

The bottom field should not be a restricted area. Content should be able to touch the bottom of the phone but the top areas around the notch should be a solid black color instead of taking the color of what's behind it.

yup, something like this.
