Yes both devices are too powerful, and to each his own. Whatever the tests prove some people will swear by their Samsung, singing paeans of its technological innovation and some people will swear by their Apple citing performance boost benchmarks.

Classic BS! Samsung sells MOSTLY cheap crap phones that underperform, and can’t or won’t get OS updates. That is where the majority of their unit sales fall. Stop trying to put them in the same league as Apple because they aren’t. And please do tell us about their “technological innovations” that have been oh so successful. Yes, one can say that many users of their high end phones are very satisfied, but one can conversely say that this is out of ignorance rather than reality. Good enough vs true innovation, superior design, and the marriage of hardwareware development with superior software development, and integration of the two.

Have this phone for a week. Need to decide if I am keeping it. FaceID is a pain in the rear. Most apps are not optimized for the notch so they are condensed. I realize app optimization will take time but $1200 with tax for this type of experience has been a bit of a bummer.

Its honestly Apple's fault for making the iPhone X such a joke. They should have given guidelines to developers for app optimization well before the release, so that by the time consumers got their hands on them the apps were optimized. Seriously? Hardware problems too? Apple literally had an extra month and a half to get their crap together for this phone. Face ID also barely works half the time. Not to mention the camera gets outgunned by the Note 8 in almost every aspect possible.

Please go away. You sound ridiculous. Very Trumpian.

Mine is in Loolvul awaiting a 5-hour plane ride to the SF Bay Area.

Mine is apparently still in pieces at the factory as my delivery date is still Nov. 17-24

Basically, regular markup on them wasn't enough, and Best Buy thought they'd tack on a little extra for those desperate enough to buy from them.

Considering what the iPhone X is being offered at on eBay, Best Buy's $100 premium is a steal.

WTF - tacking on 100 by a retailer is totally fk’d. Don’t defend these asshats

oh, where is that humane apple CEO that is so concerned with human rights and all kind of social, antisocial and more or less rational rights??...

He’s busy running the most successful company in the world you halfwit. And one of the key reasons Apple is so successful is that they keep their innovation, their technology and products as tightly held secrets until launch as there are a myriad of significantly large players out there gunning for them and trying to steal Apple’s technology. Now go get yourself a good education in Business 101.
