Apple Announces 5.8-inch 'iPhone X' With Super Retina OLED Edge-to-Edge Display
- Thread starter MacRumors
- Start date

If Apple asked for a blank check, a lot of people would send it to them.
All of the iPhone models are a sort of "portable computer". This is just a travesty
In a few milliseconds I was able recognize Phil out of 5 billion people - wearing that same fluffy pair of jeans for 10 consecutive years now
With or w/o FaceID
When Touch ID fails a couple times, it'll often ask for your passcode to enable it. So we don't necessarily know what happened there. Since I'm not buying the stupid thing, I'm calling it Face ID fail.
Hyperbole is fun, but since the X weighs 6.14oz, it's worth $8176 in gold.I dunno, but it's more expensive than the same weight in gold
It will work in complete darkness. It's using infrared, as stated in the keynote.
Am I the only one who was hoping Apple would win me back over from the S8? Where is the huge leap forward with iPhone X? What did I miss?
update:
Letting it soak in...camera, gestures, animated emojis,...hrmmm...break through? IDK. Will need to see the quality of the photos compared to a DSLR.

iris scan. Have u used it?
Haha that is the true joke.
Iris scan requires that the phone have to be in exact angle. The only reasonable use cases is to protect extremely sensitive file (that you are willing to go extra mile to protect it)
You have not try it yet. Right?

So, I'm ambivalent.
Pros: The screen is a big improvement, especially with the new gesture control. Face-ID may prove to be better than touch-ID. Wireless charging is a long time coming as well.
Negatives: This isn't edge-to-edge, and will look like dated garbage when that arrives (soon?)...it doesn't look great today with the cut out. Face-ID may not be great. From all accounts, they were going to do finger print under the glass, as well, but weren't able to--they may just offer both next year. Delay sucks. Worried that first year OLED screen (probably not an issue as Samsung has been using it for years).

Why do people keep repeating this "it was a demo model" nonsense when even Samsung acknowledge it can be bypassed with a photo. Anybody can do this

As someone above said, you can use iris scan instead though it's slower, more fiddly and less reliable.
Yeah, it could be an unnecessary distraction which could be dangerous to someone driving. Another incentive not to use your phone while driving.
But they haven't and they never will. And that's ok. You have to understand that some isheep who've been on this train for 10 years are starting to remove the rose tinted glasses and see these companies for who they really are. It's more liberating than you realize. And criticism and bashing are 2 different things.
Stop pledging unwavering fealty to these companies like they owe you something. WE have to stop doing that. This conference was underwhelming and downright disappointing. If you like the phone, fine get it. But if people have complaints (a popular one at that) about the design aesthetics or whatever, that's ok.
Apple could not possibly support the infinite amount of sunglass styles without degrading security.
Dark and reflective sunglasses can be problematic.
Authentication could likely support translucent sunglass styles.
Exactly!!! I posted the same but people are only writing, not reading.
If Touch ID fails, it ask for the passcode to ENABLE it again.
Until you enter the passcode once, Touch ID will not even verify the print.
Same with Face ID.
Thank you for noting the same thing
The just updated MacBook Pro & iMac models in June. The iMac Pro is also coming in a few months.
I wouldn't assume there will be a software update to fix this. Apple's response will be that you're looking at it wrong.
