so long green screen. wow. wish this was for FaceTime!

I think calling it a half way point is a good description. The features are cool and cutting edge. But it will take a few more years to fully realize their potential in software and use cases. Also, at ~$1,500 including decent storage, an Apple case, AppleCare, and tax (6%) it feels more like a tech showcase than a phone that most people will really buy. Even as a huge Apple fan without a budget per se, I don't think I could justify spending more than $800 on a new phone.

odd that he directs the development of the Apple Watch in addition to overseeing operations. don't get me wrong, I think he's done a great job with the Apple Watch, but just seems like a full time job within itself.

would be awesome if they would release a miniaturized version of iPhone X in a year or two, something the size of the SE but with the full frontal screen.

pricing and ports probably has something to do with this, but it could also be that apple fans are spending their apple money on iPad Pros and iPhone 8/X and holding onto their laptops a bit longer.
