Well whatever they are calling it.

Is the premium version (iPhone x) separate from the iPhone 8?

Probably $5-10. Same as the charge now for the Samsung watches.

It should be free IMO if I'm using the same number.

If ATT or BestBuy offers some type of trade in deal for a Series 2 for a Series 3 I may do it.

You mean like Apple finally getting Wireless charging that (some?) Android devices have had since 2013?

Or Apple putting bigger screens on their phones after Android phones already were successful with large screens?

Or Apple putting NFC in their phones after Android did?

If you're really concerned about heart issues or have a cardiac history, check out Kardia Mobile. Basic home 2 lead EKG that can help detect AFIB, arrhythmia, PVCs, PAC, etc if you know how to read it. Or you can save them and send it to your Dr.

How the hell do you guys with older iphones (6 and earlier) even use the damn things?

My 6 is getting unbearably slow, not responding to presses occasionally and battery life is tailing off.

Looks like I will be getting in on the new phone hysteria.

View Quote

A 6 shouldn't be that slow yet. Backup your data and to a hard reset. Also may need to get the battery replaced. Lots of shops around that can do that. Last time it cost me about $40.

That's in addition to your current bill.
Just to clarify.
As long as you have your phone with you, you can already make bluetooth calls from your watch.

Or Apple finally putting "tap to pay" on their devices when Google had it in 2013?
Or Apple finally getting decent face unlock when Google has had it for a couple years now?
The list goes on and on.

That being said, I like when Apple brings Androids features over because no matter how good Google/Android is at making great new tech they just don't have the marketing that Apple does so it helps app makers/businesses to use those features (iPay is a great example).

I've got a couple of iPads and a 7+.

The Fenix 5X is awesome, and I can't imagine switching to an Apple watch.

The home button is still there. The tech blogs said it would be gone.

What did they do? Add an extra button and call it the greatest thing since sliced bread? Probably made it so it can't be water proof again, next one though, they'll figure out how to make it water proof again, sell it for $1500 and call it the greatest advancement since sliced bread.

Definitely agree there.

I'm somewhat underwhelmed with the 8- rumors had it being a total glass front. Goes to show how reliable rumors are.

I was always going to wait til the 8s came out.

Smallest memory is 64gb is $799 for the 8plus.

Posted: 9/12/2017 2:18:17 PM EDT

[#42]

Heh. $700 for the 8 and $800 for the 8+.

One more thing... another phone. All glass front iPhone X!

I take back being underwhelmed.

New superphone looks just like the leaks. New retina display is called Super Retina display. Lol...way to mail it in on that one Apple.

I am an apple guy but these reveal things are getting so stupid I don't blame the apple haters for ragging on them.
