if you forked out a grand for iphonex you might as well use faceid which has actually been made with a lot of thought and care put into its security implementation

yah they can lovingly come and point the phone at your face down in the holding cells every time the screen lock times out

it is however idiotic that you can use touchid to access your entire web keychain right now, i’m assuming you can use faceid to do the same, that’s a very real privacy concern right there

are you implying they wouldn't just trap you in a room and spend some quality time with the rubber truncheon until you squeaked out the passcode?

somebody needs to try out FaceID on a dead person (that previously registered their face) to see if it works. could be a huge breakthrough in criminal investigations.

the best thing about the iPhone X is that it’s a big screen but it fits in your hand really well so you can use all the swipe gesture bullshit to go forward and back on stuff

I think you can just buy the Verizon one. i don’t think it’s really carrier locked and it’s got a gsm radio on it too.

actually this is very cool and good and will sell like hotcakes. having crack screens is the new status symbol of being cool and down to earth, not obsessed with material goods and having the latest phone, like you've seen some poo poo go down, a real weathered and cool person

I find that the most annoying gesture on the phone is the swipe up gesture, and now you have to use it for almost everything lol.

swiping down for control center seems even worse for me, considering you have to use your other hand

yeah. they put a gap between the bottom of the keyboard and the bottom of the screen which is oddly unsightly, but is more comfortable to use than putting it all the way at the bottom

also, the $1000 phone probably needs a screen saver

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208191 posted:

If you look at an OLED display off-angle, you might notice slight shifts in color and hue. This is a characteristic of OLED and is normal behavior. With extended long-term use, OLED displays can also show slight visual changes. This is also expected behavior and can include “image persistence” or “burn-in,” where the display shows a faint remnant of an image even after a new image appears on the screen. This can occur in more extreme cases such as when the same high contrast image is continuously displayed for prolonged periods of time. We’ve engineered the Super Retina display to be the best in the industry in reducing the effects of OLED "burn-in."
...
Avoid displaying static images at maximum brightness for long periods of time. If you have an app that keeps your display on when you aren’t actively using your iPhone X, you can temporarily reduce the brightness level using Control Center.
