AR seems incredibly awkward to use for long periods of time. It's a gimmick that is going to end up like 3D until we get AR glasses.

This seems cool but I imagine would be really annoying to play in real life.

It's so loving forced. Adds no value but sure uses those features.

I will go for the 8+ because I have a 16GB 6S (worst mistake ever) and can't justify spending $1,100 for an X with 256 gb of storage.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
The lesson I've taken from the last two years is that Apple and Microsoft still haven't figured out how to present AR.
