    Well... iPhone X is here and I can't believe they went ahead and introduced an camera that does 4K at 60FPS.

    :O

    I can't wait for the camera samples so I can compare them to the S8+ and see if I wasted my motherfucking money.

    a starting price of $999 seems very steep, even for apple, but if you spread that amount out over 24 months.....i'm sure they'll get plenty of people to pay it.

    the new i-phone looks pretty cool, but i'm going to stick with my 5. new phones don't excite me and there are sooooo many other things i'd rather spend that kind of money.

    Best thing is the native Google experience. Have you ever had a flagship galaxy or LG phone for example that you were debating to root or not so you could delete all the annoying bloatware? That's essentially what pixel is; a flagship (spec wise) phone the has no bloatware.

    I only ended up with a pixel after the Note 7 catastrophe last year stopped me from buying that but the best happy accident in my life!

    Honestly couldn't recommend the phone (XL) enough.

    If you want any more info, ask away and I'll do my best to answer.

    New phones are a complete and utter disappointment. $1000 for what? Face recognition software which didn't even work during the presentation? h--- why don't they work in getting the finger print scanner to work 100% of the time? Mine still gives me issues every once and a while. What else? A new camera? Great. I got a 6s plus and still have photos look grainy as s---, nothing like the billboards or the photos from that years presentation. Apple used to be the innovators and now they just playing catch up from technology that was out 3 years ago cough *wireless charging, edge to edge screen* cough. I'm waiting for Apple iTunes and downloaded music to still have the correct album covers and correct labeling. I'm so irritated I'm trapped and forever held within the Apple circle because of all the music, movies, tv, and books I have purchased over the years. Anyway I'm good on wasting $1000 on a new phone that has moving emoji messages.

    The best part of the presentation, is Apple TV now offering 4K HDR and all your movies get a free upgrade.

    So. I've been looking stuff up and apparently the iPhone X and the LG V30 are the only ones that can do HDR video...

    I don't know what the camera shooters can do since both phones are not out yet but I really want to know which camera is better.
