We all saw that major FaceID fail the first time. Looks like it'll be frustrating at times. Why fix something that isn't broken? Steve Jobs would go crazy on those animojis. Felt like Apple was trying so hard to continuously quote Steve Jobs to lure people who loved the Steve Jobs-era into moving forward with them. Felt desperate.

I wish they would have done a true infinity edge screen, and then just made the top a slight bezel instead of a notch. Infinity on the sides and bottom, slight bezel on the top. it certainly doesn't look bezel'less from the photos. obviously the top/bottom is now generally gone, but its not like infinity edge.
I'm also disappointed in screen size. Wish they did it with the 8Plus dimensions. Instead from what I've read "its 5.8 inch display is bigger than the 5.5 inch Plus, but with a much, much smaller body!!!"
So if they were able to make the display 5.8 inches in a small form factor, I imagine the display size would be at least akin if not bigger than the Note 8's 6.3 inches if they used the larger form factor? And then it would look MEANINGFULLY bigger than the current plus' 5.5 inches. I watch lots of sports, netflix, youtube, etc. on my phone. And the current PLUS size doesn't feel unnatural to me. In fact I've gotten used to it. So now if I went with the X I'd have to go back to getting used to a smaller form factor again in terms of feel.
I don't care much for Animoji's, but I do see all the potential in the future for this feature, the AR features, etc. Could imply big changes to how one operates the phone in the future. But for now... meh.
Wireless charging is ok. But as noted, its a bit of catchup. And its also another buy more Apple accessories move - OF COURSE I'm going to need the airpower pad to charge all my apple stuff. Maybe TWO!
Not to be negative. The airpower pad is going to be great. But not included. The phone is $1k. For 64 GB... not expandable.
I think I'll just pony up the cash to get my cracked to all hell 6S screen replaced.
Wow that’s a lot op upvotes! My thoughts on the new iPhone X: Take my money! No but for real, I’m really excited about the new iPhone, it has its upsides and downsides but I want one and I’m sure you’ll get used to the swiping to go home within 1-2 days (same as switching from a normal one to a plus)
Does anyone know how to open Control Center on X? And the Notif Center?

@falemaster if you swipe down on the left side you open ntification center and if you swipe down from the right you get the control center

Between developer access to the front-facing (depth sensing) camera on the iPhone X and ARKit... RIP Snapchat. Death by a thousand clones now.

Fascinated by Apple's response to the "Light Phone" trend with Apple Watch Series 3 cellular. Anyone still keen to get the Light Phone and others like it?

Am I the only one who's not feeling face ID? I have put it in front of my face to unlock it every time? Ok it is more secure than touch ID but is it faster?
