Interesting to see that Apple now has a phone lineup that spans from $350 to $1150, wow. That $1150 price point feels just absurd. Will be interesting to see how this sells. I guess I'll be holding on to my (perfectly awesome) iPhone 7 for at least another year or two.

It will sell. Apple come and get my money!!!!!. Life is short. Enjoy it with the best devices in the world. Can't wait until Oct 27 to order the 256G black unit for me and the silver one for my wife.

Slower speeds of chip card transactions? Do you guys process them "weird" in the US?

Insert card, hit OK, enter PIN, done. Doesn't really take any more time than signing.

Your description does not replicate the actual experience. The first time I used the chip, I could not believe it. Instead of the fast swipe of the card, the long time, relatively speaking, of reading the chip and waiting until the reader says that the card can be removed was and is still ridiculous. Mind you, I am not entering a PIN and still I asked "Is this progress?." No, it is not and the contactless method will be a big improvement.
