Bye Bye Note 9 - Hello iPhone X S Max

The iPhone's don't have dual aperture camera, less pixel density, and still NO USB-c charging. Why would you want these?
 
I bit this year as well. I haven't gone in on Apple for a long while (since iPhone 6 Plus). I mean I have "tried" them but not just used them as a daily driver. I snagged myself an iPhone X S Max w/ Series 4 LTE watch.
Wow nice .. congrats

I also got the 44mm series 4 watch, just the GPS though since I don't need the cellular stuff and been fine just using the GPS ones.

Nice :). I can't wait for next Friday to come to toy with it. I am excited to even see the changes of using my password manager with it being built into the OS. I want to see how that works out (I am a weird security nerd who likes that stuff).
 
Since they doing a 512gb if they have a delay I wonder if people will be as upset as they were with the note9. Lol. Or is it ok for apple but not Samsung? Not all people. Some people. How much is the 512gb total?
You know what really grinds my gears Sprint wouldn't carry the 512gb note 9 that's why I didn't upgrade but yet they're sitting here carrying the $1500 iPhone XS Max
 
What rock have you been living under? iMessage is the best messaging system period.

"Best" is subjective.

When I was using iMessage on the iPhone X I had, I felt like I was messaging on a platform designed for little girls. Why in the hell would me, a man in his mid-30s, ever want to add effects to my messages? Why would I want to use Animoji? Apple Pay payments are nice and so is the end-to-end encryption between iDevices, but it's not enough for me to switch over. If I needed end-to-end encryption in messaging, I can just send someone a Secret Message in Facebook and it'll have the same effect. Meh.

Yeah its so rediculous, they should make up for it by selling that new silver note 9 in the 512gb variant. But if not it's all good my Note 8 is doing me well in the Note 10 is going to be the best phone ever so I can wait.

Lol yeah watching Tim crook and his elderly friends play animoji for 45min straight during the iPhone x keynote was a cringe worthy nightmare 😳
 
I’ve only recently (9 months ago) went from android over to Apple and invested heavily in their ecosystem, I.e. iPhone, MacBook Pro etc etc and having seen the absurd prices of the Xs Max I think i won’t be buying any new products anytime soon. The watch alone has increased by £70 over last years model and they are near enough pricing me back to the android market.

The keynote just seemed very flat to me. What’s really getting to me tho is their pricing, it’s simply staggering.

£70 more and we aren’t even getting ECG or irregular rhythm detection.
 
Let’s be honest and say iMessage is one of the best messaging platforms out there. Man I use to send hi quality vids of the family or events or just what’s happening around me to friends all the time with friends and family. Haven’t done it since I went back to Android. I personally agree it’s the best. Carriers need to get RCS deployed ASAP.

That's subjective

Yeah maybe they will sell the silver note9. Guess we will see. I'm sure whatever Samsung does on note10 that apple hasn't done on iPhone yet they will do it. Didn't apple just sue Samsung for copying or something? Lol all I got to says if Samsung appreciate their real loyal customers they won't add that notch ever lmao. Least not to note line. Can't wait to see what they do with the note10.

Glad you like it. Not everyone else does. And no I'm not trying to sound like an *** but we can agree to disagree:)

I will not buy a notched phone! I'm saying it right here so all can see! Also I'm disappointed that YouTube reviewers have pushed these tech companies into doing the complete bezel-less look anyway. You see Samsung had to actually add bezels back because they had been on the no bezels on the side of phones since 2015 and you get a lot of hand rejection. I honestly think bezels on the top and bottom of the phone's gave them character and their distinct looks. Now that we're doing this whole complete screen thing there's not much to tell the difference from phones other than what they're notch looks like and the back camera locations! it's really ridiculous

Do you watch those high-quality vids on iMessage on a large screen tv or computer? If not, then why is it important to have HD vid in text messages? I agree it'd be cool but it's not necessary.
