I'm still with the 7+ (in Jet Black, or course), and think I'm going to wait around for the X. I am not sure if I will like the facial recognition thing over the fingerprint, which is incredibly convenient and reliable. I suppose the facial thing will be nice when wearing gloves and have wet hands or something, but I fear it will be annoying when laying in bed at night and wanting to check the phone for something. It may also unlock the phone way more often than I'd want, when just a glance at my notifications was the intention. Won't it be too easy to authorize payments and purchases on the App Store with this?? Curious how these issues will play out in reality...
While talking about dongles, I do the same as you guys and leave that attached to my Shures at all times, while using my Air Pods on a daily basis. If you haven't jumped on the bandwagon yet, do it. As I said in the Air Pods thread, they are the best thing that Apple has EVER sold.
