It was just odd they actually called it the iphone 10. I think it was Phil who said it.
#yougotnotchedCan someone make a good notch meme?
(Can be applied to videos and apps)
My impression of the X model:
- FaceID looks very promising. The unlock issue seems to be because FaceID was disabled on the first test phone, so hardly a fail here. There is no doubt that face identification is superior in every way to fingerprint identification (which only works for me right now in 1/5 times at best). Any outstanding issues will be solved with software updates, the hardware seems solid enough
- Gestures are amazing and the way forward. Not much to add
- Don't see much problem with the notch, except that its distracting when using the phone in landscape mode (games?). Virtual view for apps should be cropt to exclude the notch though, otherwise awkward artefacts would happen
- People who taught about animated emojis seem to completely miss the fact that phones are still used fro communication most of the time. Animated avatars are what users want. And you scepticism and witticisms is not going to change that. There is a reason why the Unicode consortium is continuously adding new emojis to the international symbol standard.
- The engineering overall is absolutely impressive, Apple at its best.
Summary? The X looks amazing. Actually, this is the first iPhone that I find exiting. Is it way too expensive for a phone? Sure. But as I see it, its not just a phone, is a vision of a phone that I really like, even though that this vision might come a bit too early. Totally ordering one as soon as its available.

Was that an attempt at an insult or not? Truly don't know. Just glad I'm not one of the whiners. This phone looks amazing to me, and after all, it's a phone, so it's not a huge deal. The butthurt is unreal.
Well, didn't Phil or whomever stated a lot of people at Apple had some hard night today in preparation of the event? Suppose it was the Face ID team...
It was a suggestion, free to follow anything you don’t like for the rest of your life
Forget the notch, let's talk about how ugly and silly the edge to edge display looks when it still has that thick bezel.
Wow Nilay Patel’s first look video at the Verge was quite positive. No mention of the camera bump. And little about the notch either. My guess is the notch is this years camera bump. Something people complain about but get used to and then don’t even think about it.
FaceID did not work on the first phone because it wasn't unlocked previously. After a hard reboot or restart, any phone now with TouchID required you input your Passcode before being able to unlock the phone with TouchID. Its the same here with FaceID. Whomever set up the phones for the keynote must have forgotten to do unlock it prior.
a "night mode" or "dark mode" would by default have a black background. Just software
And I will keep my launch day 6 plus with a broken screen yet another year lol.
Not really a fan of these phones and I must admit...I wanted to love them.
