Interesting they didn’t mention that the new phones will also record video at 24 frames per second.

Apple's spec sheet for series 2 says it's got bluetooth 4.0 and not 4.2 like on series 1 and 3. Typo?

Yes but I doubt most people would even notice that.

LTE plus W2 is awesome for people like me who use AirPods. To be to go on a bike ride or go the gym and leave my phone at home is awesome.

Currently, I'm leaning towards this, too.

I know 100% i'm not going with the 8/8+. I might look into what Google has going on, but I'm pretty Apple-centric in my household.

I'm thinking next year's iPhone will start to adopt the X form factor, anyway.

$5 would have been better, but $10 isn't horrible. Could have been worse.

First 3 months free on Verizon and Tmobile. But otherwise, it's $10 on all 4 major carriers.

Can't decide if I like silver or space grey more.

I've always wanted a silver with black front thou. Or Product Red with a black front

Chasing bezel to screen ratio is pointless, it will make it especially hard for people who use minimalist cases or none at all. We'll see how it fares it real world usage. They do all that work to remove bezels, and yet give the screen that ugly shape... should have just made it blacked out all the way across the top.

All nice changes though, especially on the X. But I think I'll stick with my 7S.

How is the 8 and the X even a choice. The X has better camera features, fun facial gimmicks, and a bigger screen in a smaller phone.

No, but it doesn't really matter, which is frustrating. I have an iPad, iPhone, Macbook Pro. I'm not going to an Android device. I simply do not have the cash to enter a different ecosystem.

Apple has tied my hands. I'm staying put.

The next couple of years of iPhones should be pretty insane though. 3/5 iPhone 6/6+ owners I know are staying put because the X is too expensive and the 8/8+ doesn't look any different.
