Information overload. Apple will have a spec chart that breaks down difference between them all on their site in an hour or less.

Yep, especially if you also will get an insurance plan. I actually thought iPhone will be better priced than the Note 8.

$1150 for 256 GB iPhone X....
It's a marginal upgrade over the 8... but I guess Apple had to spit something out to mark the 10 year release.

No doubt about it. Apple is very calculating when it comes to features and pricing. They know just how to reel in the consumer to fork over those dollars for something that just isn't enough. Then they release the next iteration that it just that much better so a person who was looking for a certain feature set before feels compelled to upgrade. iPhone XS or whatever it will be called will be awesome.

Wireless charging is 50/50 for me.

I like having my 6 foot charging cable because I can charge my phone while still browsing the web or whatever. (Although, people say you shouldn't charge your phone and still use it at the same time)

But at the same time, I like how I don't have to deal with the cable.

People were saying how they may do away with the charging port in general, I don't see how the could, especially for traveling in the car. But I'm sure Apple would have thought of something. I'm glad they didn't.

They aren’t there yet. That port is used for too many other things such as diagnostics tools. I think it will be quite some time before you see it completely portless phone

ROFL I'll record the real joke on 5th Ave, where a large petting zoo of sheep will form a line on November 3rd :P :P :P

PS The A11 processor is actually very tempting, VERY.
