Do all US versions support both GSM and CDMA?  Or is it like the 7 where you have to buy a Sprint or Verizon (CDMA) phone to support both GSM and CDMA?

Things not mentioned:

- Beyond Gorilla Glass 5. Apple got first access to the next generation of Gorilla glass as a result of their $200 million investment in Corning. Apple claims the glass is reinforced with metal.

- First ever support for QZSS and Galileo satellite positioning in a consumer device that's I'm aware of. Provides for military grade GPS tracking. 

- new generation haptic Engine 

- Advanced AR technology built in with both rear cameras individually calibrated for AR. The front facing camera amd sensors have also been designed specifically for AR applications.

- 3D tracking using the front facing TrueDepth camera and sensors for a range of new applications. 

- Should have put more emphasis on the Hardware Noise Reduction feature. Biggest breakthrough in mobile camera tech in years

- should have emphasised the 2436x1125 resolution -  the best resolution in the business. I know Samsung claims the Note has a resolution of 2960x1440 but that's not exactly the case. Samsung by default turns down the resolution to 2220x1080 (which means the iPhone has a better resolution in real life use).

- Should have put more emphasis on the Dolby Vision and HDR10 certified screen (which means true color reproduction and better visual richness and detail than both Galaxy and Note even with technically less PPI)

- True tone display (adapts display to ambient lighting conditions to retain color reproduction accuracy)

- Real time motion and scene analysis for optimal video recording

- This was shown but not discussed. Visual battery status indicator for all connected devices via iPhone screen on the Airpower accessory. This is also the first time anyone has figured out multi device charging on a single Qi charging mat.

I've gotta say, that's probably the best third comment a person has ever posted.  Welcome to AppleInsider.

You mention several good points - but regarding the screen - I'll suspend judgement until I can try a unit in person BUT I do have to think back a few years ago when Phil Schiller (correctly, IMO) derided Samsung for putting out a very high resolution/dpi display saying that the higher resolution was marketed as a positive for the user but in going well beyond 300 ppi they provided the user with indistinguishable "improved" images yet put a real extra burden on the graphics subsystem.  I have to wonder why this evidently will be different for the iPhone X.  Our defacto answer would be, because Apple does stuff the right way - but in this case I'd like a bit more detail and explaination.
