The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

By the time I'm ready to upgrade, in a few more years, it'll probably work well. |

I don't like using swipes and gestures - but I have found myself using them more and more over the years. (Pulling up the control center to get to the flashlight near my little one's crib at night is second nature now) I'll wait and see what the initial reviews say on whether or not they nailed the feel/ease on the swipe. That said - I'm also trying to break myself out of the 2 year upgrade cycle, and trying to descreen myself in general. So theoretically - I shouldn't care. Also - I don't like a lot of thing about Apple, but I do admire their progressive approach to product development. Being willing to throw out something that works is extremely rare in large organizations. Their mega-success also uniquely enables this - but it is refreshing to see anyways. |

My phone was released three years ago and no reason to upgrade in sight. |

I predict that phones are going to become as boring products as desktop PCs within the next five years. Apple will shrink to something like Dell. |

I want one. I watched the keynote which also convinced me I need an Apple Watch. But I can't afford a new phone or an Apple Watch. I just bought a 7 Plus in December. |

I definitely need one. I cannot live without it. If my cell phone died, I would wake up in the morning, bump into walls, stagger around without a clue of who I am or what my purpose was. They would eventually find me in a fetal position on the floor, my index finger desperately swiping across a single floor tile over and over, mumbling "hot spot" in delirium. |

The iPhone X is very nice...but not, for me, nice *enough* for the premium in cost. My 6S functions fine, and the camera's great. I'll probably upgrade to the 8, handing the 6S down to Mrs. George (who currently has a 5S). I'll wait for the next cycle to upgrade to what the iPhone X has to offer now. |

:People tend to react to what they know and what they are familiar with. I don't see a miss here. Second I hate to say it but baby boomers are no longer the target market, now if it was a next gen CPAP machine your opinions would be very important.

But for a fingerprint sensor, it's sufficient to cut off a finger of the victim. For FaceID you need the head. I wouldn't be surprised to see the first beheading for the sake of getting access to an iPhone within the next 12 months. |

Can they physically force you to put on your thumb? With this they just have to hold it up to your face. There should be a built in security feature where if you blink really fast or something your phone is disabled. |

Just don't enable Face ID. The passcode-based unlocking mechanism will still be there. |
