I was in a local store equivalent of a Best Buy in Australia. Saw they had a 64GB X and promptly ordered it.

Was a little worried I couldn’t fit everything in my 256GB 7 Plus inside. And I couldn’t.

But I stopped syncing my music now I have a Chord MojoPoly with a microSD Care.

And I needed to do housekeeping on my photos.

And I’m getting used to the lack of TouchID.

Apple gestures just seem right.

Just looking at the numbers from the past 4 days (Black Friday thru Cyber Monday) and analysts predict Apple sold 6 million iPhone X units during those 4 days when over a normal 4 day period Apple sells around 1.75M iPhones (of all varieties).

In other words, Apple sold 17 iPhone X units every single second during those 4 days.

Apple currently produces 3 million units per week & could increase that to 4M in a few weeks & are currently selling twice as many 256GB models of the "X" compared to the 64GB model.

Quarterly sales of "X" could end up to be 30M units and 40M next quarter.

The numbers are just mindboggling.

Best Sirs,

Bob

I've been buying Apple stock here and there since it was in the $48 range... Barring some major stock market collapses triggered by events unrelated to Apple itself, this is one of my favorite stocks to own for the long run. Year after year many keep criticizing Apple for lacking innovation, has lost the competitive edge, it has become a one trick pony, iPhone has competitors, blah, blah, blah... Yeah, OK, let the critics keep yapping while the numbers speak for themselves.

I am with you. All of the current phones are too large. I understand that a 5SE v2 is in the works.

Got my iPhone X about 10 days ago....love it. Came from a 6s Plus....and while I liked the screen size..the phone itself was just too big. The new X is just perfect, imo.

Glad to hear that. I’m moving from a 7 plus to the X and the overall size of the plus has been my problem.

I received mine about a week ago, I think it’s excellent, super fast processor and the camera is fantastic. Battery life is great too, but I’m not one of those people who are on the phone constantly. No complaints whatsoever so far.
