The thing that struck me watching the keynote was the positioning of the iPhone 8 and the iPhone X.
I think Apple knows the majority of people will buy the iPhone 8 Plus, and the X is targeted at two niches: pro Instagrammers, and kids who always get the flagship and use Snapchat. For social media pros, max selfie is a revenue stream, and the X will get them more views.
The X is the modern Mac Pro, since the modern content creator is living in Instagram.
I have a 6, and would like an 8 Plus. The difference between the camera on the 6 and the 7 in indoor lighting is noticeable to me, and I use my phone mostly as a camera these days.
- MBCook 9y agoI’ll be getting an X because I think it’s neat, I’ve got a 7 now. I agree with reviews I’ve seen elsewhere. If you have a 6 or 6S it will be a huge jump in performance and camera quality, totally worth it. If you have a 7 it’s a nice upgrade (especially for TrueTone) but you could easily go without. The 7 was a massive jump over my 6. The 8 is a huge jump (in performance) over the 7. Coming from a 6? You’ll love it.
