2017: nope we have animojis
Finally people having fun. The negativity around here gets old sometimes
I’m looking forward to recording the Baldwin soliloquy from glengarry glen Ross as a talking poo.
I felt the demo portion was quite cringe worthy during the keynote, because all we saw was Craig contorting his face in all sort of silly expressions, not so much the end result.
This is probably a fad, but moving forward, I expect people to come up with more innovative ways of utilising this feature.
Apple engineers could not envision the creative ways their customers would create new forms of entertainment.
This new form of karaoke will probably send the iPhone X sales skyrocketing and we will see the competitors release apps that do this but Apple was first so they win.

Seriously, this is genius. Somewhere in Cupertino, a bunch of marketing execs are high fiving each other.
Best of all, this is only made possible by the TrueDepth camera and seeing the state of other brands’ efforts in this field and given that this is technology that Apple designed over a few years for the iPhone X, it’ll be at least 2 years before other brands can copy it with an acceptable degree of accuracy.
The iPhone X is going to be a runaway success.

Now with this, I wouldn't be surprised if they do sooner rather than later.
Nope, I’m actually a fun person. I simply find it inexcusable with the issues in today’s world that the main attraction of an $1,145 phone is Animated Emoji. As a society we should be ashamed of these materialistic desires. These features do nothing but drive us deeper into our devices isolating us from reality.

Star Citizen features similar technology ("Face Over IP"), where your in-game avatar matches your lip-syncing and facial expressions. IMO, it's a fantastic move forward in the social side of gaming.
I know Apple isn't really into the gaming market much, but this kind of tech has a huge amount of potential there.

I used to feel that way. But you know what, like it or not they are part of our world now. And I do think it's pretty cool how there's been almost a new universal language created by emoji, and how you can convey complex ideas with a small number of them—similar to Chinese-derived ideographs—but even more expressively.
If emojis are used more and more on our phones and computers, it does make some sense for MacRumors to pay attention to their story.

If the main attraction to rhe X, at least to you, is animated emoji? That's on you.
your case is baloney......... and you shelled out $1,145 to post that reply. Pretty much makes my case.
animojis are a side feature/bonus of the X for most adults.. if there were no animojis, the phone would still be selling the same.
That's exactly why this is important. The animojis are fun but the tech behind them is amazing. That's the real story and is why the animojis are important. They are the start of some really cool applications.
Yeah, I'm not plopping down $1000+ just for this.
You’re not plopping down just for Animoji. That’s just a bonus feature. Do you realize the tech in the iPhone X is nothing short of amazing? Not just iPhone but most mobile device. Think about where we were not 10 years ago and where we are now. Imagine not having a mobile in your pocket. Computing power to literally send you to the moon and back.
fwiw-....... and you shelled out $1,145 to post that reply. Pretty much makes my case.
an informal poll in the iPhone forum..
not really showing your case as being a strong one

We do have flying cars, they are impractical and unsafe. Jesus, we kill enough of each other on the roads, do you really want some dunk asshat crashing their flying car into your house at night?
The jury is still out on it, its fairly new and I suspect usage will be strong until signs of frequency reach before the next iPhone announcement. IOS 12 will being in more advancements to this capability to stimulate interest and keep the momentum going.
Out of curiosity, how often does one use the iMessage heart beat message.

There you go again with the royal "we." And how society should (or did you mean must?) conform to your views. Try not to worry too much about other people and what they like, or what might make them smile. That really should be no concern of yours.
Being such a serious person it's clear Apple products are not for you. The good news is there are many other mobile phone manufacturers, some likely with corporate cultures that would be more in line with your views.
With respect to animated emoji being the main attraction of iPhone X, no. That's hilarious and just something you need to believe in order to support your preconceived narrative about the company.

Don’t really use iMessage all that much here in Asia. It’s pretty much whatsapp all the way, with a bit of telegram sprinkled in.
