          i'm a little bias on apple. sold my soul to them years ago, anything is worth it.  😛

          on a slightly serious note, it's nice. but the excitement will soon fade away. the glass back with the screen looks amazing. and this is me coming from a 7plus. the new features from the 7 to X are well… you'd probably not find yourself using it that much, let's put it that way. i have not have an extensive use of the camera to comment just yet. but face ID is brilliant and i'd expect even more for years to come..

              I'm very tempted, but not £79 a month (which is what my network is offering the phone at) tempted. I'll go with an 8plus I reckon.

                Full day into using my X and I'm very happy w/ it. TrueTone took time to get used to. FaceID has taken a while to go from a small bit of a stutter to flawless. Reaching for the home button almost completed. It's…smooth all over. A fan!

                  the oled display is really good. gimmicks and new tech aside, i'm very happy with the OLED screen. so much more vibrant and appealing to look at.

                  the true tone display is something that i'm not able to tell the difference. i've never used the night mode as well so that doesn't affect me as much with the white balancing of the brightness. the subconscious part of my brain misses pressing the home button, but so far, usage has been pretty smooth..

                    Has anyone carried out the High Sierra software upgrade and lost there administrator privileges?

                    My user account is now standard and I cant add or update any software on my machine.

                    I took it to a guy I use and he thinks the only way is to save everything, wipe it and reinstall.

                    Just seeing if anyone knows a way round without doing it like that.

                    I've tried the 'root, no password' option to no avail.

                              Maybe, issue I have is all the other demands on the funds, and no I don’t mean IH!
                              I don’t mind paying up front for the product, security, software patches, etc, but hardware improvements are increasingly interative and minor, and the higher upfront cost is making me pause now.

                                I've resisted the watch up to now. I'm intrigued by the ECG on the upcoming model. If this can replace a strap based heart monitor & work for swimming workouts, it will be a strong argument in favor of the Apple Watch.

                                  I have a 7 Plus so I’m probably grabbing the smaller XS. Also considering the watch, I still just have the original model.

                                    i actually decided no this time after years of getting consecutive models since the 4s.

                                    but i've kinda changed my mind. IF i can get my hands on a China/HK model of the Xs Max, i will get it. because only for the dual Sim tray and not the stupid eSim, that is worth my time. since it helps me a lot to have 2 sims in 1 phone while travelling rather than 2 phones..

                                      I read somewhere that previous China editions of the iPhone were limited in some functionalities (e.g. no FaceTime etc.) and had other software and hardware restrictions. Could be wrong, though. So better try in person first before making the final decision.
                                      I was hyped for the bigger model (Xs Max) but somehow feel 2019 is going to be a huge update worth waiting for (smaller bezels, smaller/no notch and USB-C). If I can get a good deal on the new one I would go for it nevertheless as hardware is always outdated when being bought.

                                          That's definitely not the case. any software restrictions are purely based on your geolocation. so if it's because they were in china, it could very well be why. i've gone through the tech specs and the china models even include an extra band of LTE support to the ones around the world. They do not share the same model code.

                                          i've read an article predicting as well that the China model might fetch a premium in the european markets mainly because of the true dual sim functionality. (bear in mind as well that the dual sim capability on those is only for the Xs Max)

                                          @Dion:

                                          screen size is definitely subjective. i feel that the upgrade wasn't worth it because i already have the X and nothing's changed besides the processors. the dual sim card in the Xs max china edition may sway me. but at the same time, having gone from a smaller (IP5) to bigger (6/7Plus) and back to smaller iphone (X), i'm not sure if i'm ready for the jump back up to the Xs Max
