What I find very cool, but which wasn't hyped much by Apple at the event yesterday (perhaps due to difficulty keeping up with the demand for the X as it is without mentioning it), is that the iPhone X is only a little larger than the non-plus iPhone 6,7,8's. Per Apple's iPhone 7 and X tech specs, the iPhone X is only 5.3mm taller, 3.8mm wider, and 0.6mm thicker than non plus iPhones (get your mm rulers out and see just how small a difference that is!). Yet it has a 5.8" diagonal screen compared to the iPhone Plus's 5.5" diagonal. So, you get a screen larger than the Plus's, but with nearly the body size of the smaller iPhones. That's exciting to me, since I found the non-plus iPhone 6,7,8 sizes to be the sweet spot for holding in the hand with decent screen size. So, I'd love to jump up to that size if it wasn't for the price. Still love my 6s. (Hopefully iOS 11 doesn't bog it down.)

I agree with Entropys. Although a huge Apple product fan for 30 years, I'm increasingly baffled by their corporate decisions, from a customer satisfaction standpoint. For example: Ever increasing premium prices (Ex. 2016 MacBooks) while usually tech decreases in price over a 5 yr period. Dropping of ports, and features (What?? My wife's iPhone 7 earbuds don't have a volume/mute control?? - to name a discovery last week. You've got to be kidding!) 1TB fusion drive downgrade to paltry 24GB flash. etc. etc. etc.); increasingly difficult to upgrade later or take apart. No Mac Pro upgrade in years. No low cost entry level machine upgrade in years (Mini). The list could go on and on, but most of you are well aware. One of the wealthiest corporations in the world, yet they continue go gouge the customer whenever they can (I know... keeping the investors happy, but ONLY them). How could satisfaction NOT go down?
