i just need a fucking phone to make calls and access to my evernote/calendars/gmail/whatsapp and room for photos/music. take dick-tation. gimme a hotspot. that's it. read my messages siri you are a dumbfuck siri just fucking read them.
as for cameras and bullshit: i don't take fun photos. i take pictures at home depot of shit i wanna buy. then i think about it and add it to a shopping cart or i say nah and delete them
if i want to take a good photo i have a panasonic m43 and a small but growing glass collection.
i was FINE with an iphone 5 but then the battery swelled up and the glass cracked and something went to shit inside and i gave up on fixing it. my 4s still lives though. needs a new battery. but the 4s is really too small. the SE would be FINE. the 128 GB would be great. i might wait for the new iteration next year. hmmmm....
think about the X and tell me this: does it have a make-or-break feature for you? some sort of killer function that you can't live without? for me the answer is: fuck the shit NOE. i don't need it to read my fucking face. i don't need a racketball racket. i like edges. i don't like glass backs. i don't like at the fucker to look at my face. i don't need portrait mode for selfies. i don't need all that fucktardicity.
i just need ios and sufficient storage. everything else i dont give a flying fuck about. i like the thumbprint recognition so i don't punch a pin in public.
i need something to fit in my jeans pocket not a ping pong paddle. fuck giant phones. ipads are way better. i don't need a halfway-there device

1) LOL
2) The X: YES, it has a telephoto zoom and 12 megapixel camera. That's been a non-thing in phone cameras for ever. No matter what, those optical zooms just pixelate your photo. When you take photos for print media with your phone, yes, having a telescopic zoom in a fucking phone is make-or-break. Work will probably force them on us.
I actually don't even quite believe it. I mean, how is TRUE zoom even possible with so little space? But whatever, if if works, it would turn my phone into a veritable mobile newsroom. And that would be Fucking kick Fucking ass.
But this is all specific to my situation. If I didn't have my job, I would probably still be using the 5. I just love iOS and the simplicity and style and functionality of the OS versus the chaotic Android bumfuckery. I HAAATE that shit.
So that's my answer about the make or break. If it's true about the camera, then I will eventually need to get one.
Imagine hauling a DSLR camera and three or four lenses everywhere you go, even though you're NOT a "photographer." Imagine the neck pain. Imagine the bulk, the likelihood of dropping something. And you have to have your phone with you on top of that for recording, notes, communications, etc.
Imagine being able to do it all with a phone smaller than the 7+ that also happens to shoot the highest quality video and have enough balls to layout pages. One 4 or 5 oz. jobber versus 10-15 pounds of shit in three bags.
That's a make or break if ever there was one.
