"Sales have been disappointing" - For a $1000 smartphone? How could that be?
- skrowl 9y agoReplace everywhere you see "Sales have been disappointing" when talking about iPhone X with "expectations of sales were unrealistic". That said, I absolutely love my Note 8. I can't imagine paying the same price for a tiny lower res screen, less water resistance, no s-pen, no microSD card, no web browsers, no console game emulators, etc. iPhone X, much less paying $100 MORE for it. I think they just grossly overestimated the "iSheep will buy anything for any price" effect. They still have it, just not as much as 5 years ago.
- zeusk 9y agoI have both S8 and iPhone (7) and haven't touched the S8 in the last 3 months. The fluidity, consistency and UX of android and it's apps is still not on par with iOS. touchID, wallet, continuity, iMessage, smooth animations and an OS that actually respects my privacy trump what android has to offer. The two things I missed from S8 on iPhone 7 were the bezels or lack thereof; which the X takes care of (minus the notch) and magstripe emulation (even then, samsung pay is horrible with knox requirement and the points system).
