Apple Announces 5.8-inch 'iPhone X' With Super Retina OLED Edge-to-Edge Display

Apple decides SUNGLASSES don't exist.

"If your eyes are closed or you're looking away it's not gonna unlock." - Phil Schiller

The Sensor projects in IR - so unless your sunglasses block IR, it will see through them.

So we can say Samsung has better screens and technology. Good to know.

I'm assuming it's $1k for 64G?!?! The notch on the top is affecting my OCD...almost as bad as the huge bezels on my 6+

That first demo of Face ID on stage with Craig was a total bummer. "Here, let's show you just how easy it is to use Face ID...errr, let's go to plan B and enter the passcode." (My paraphrase)

He didn't do a passcode. He switched to a backup device.

FaceID first live fail video will be everywhere soon. Will be next new big meme.

Anything to make them try harder next time.

That status bar/camera notch area. Ugh

It takes an engineer to appreciate one,


...else we get your comment and many others like it...

Apparently there seems to be an epidemic when it comes to reading. You can see "your passcode is required to ENABLE Face ID". The phone just booted up. It's a demo setup fail not a face id fail.

£1149 for the 256 X in the UK :O

 

[GadgetBen]

Holy Moly, look at that Price!

 

[ForumChick]

What happened to the blush gold for the phones. That rumor turned out to be bull crap

 

[Bryan Bowler]

I was in front of my Apple TV with an uninterrupted 100mbs connection, but at least 50% of the keynote was unwatchable due to delays, hangups, and video/audio that was not synced. Nice job Apple.

Kind of hard to get excited about these new things when they can't even get this right.

 

[MH01]

256 is £1350...... with AppleCare. 64 is £1200.......

Hello iPhone SE!

 

[rippley5150]

Apple shares always take a beating after keynotes then rebound nicely. I wish I could afford to buy a few lol

 

[velelik]

WTF? THE SPEAKER HUMP IS REAL? I'D RATHER CATCH SYPHILIS FROM A HYENA!!!

Edit: "speaker hump" = the cutout with "true depth" camera system + speaker + proximity sensor + ... at the top

FaceID had better be flawless. Didn't work too well during the demonstration. Te second time, he tried it, I wasn't that impressed with the speed. The idea I have to raise and authenticate is not as convenient as just touching as I raise to unlock. But I'm sure I'll get used to it. I wish he would have demonstrated how it would work on a flat table. THat's the other situation where I wouldn't want to have to raise the phone in order to access it.

They didn't dispel my one concern that ApplePay won't work without looking at the phone during the transaction. In many cases, the POST is away from my face.

EDIT: never mind -- the second demonstration with Apple Pay showed that it can be authenticated before extended to the POST. It's not as convenient as Apple Pay is with Touch ID now, but it might actually be more reliable. I do wonder how quickly the Face Authentication will time out though. That could get tricky.

It was incredibly quick later. It's because when it unlocks it doesn't immediately go to the home screen. You have to swipe up, and he took his time to do that. When he went quick it was fast.

I hope there's a setting that allows instant home screen instead of swipe up.

looks like Apple handle supplies anymore.

This one have looked better.

Yep. This looks WAY better in my opinion.

 

[BlankSlate]

Face-ID looked much slower than I thought it would be. I'm sure it will get faster in future iterations, but that demonstration today was a bit disheartening.

 

[bbplayer5]

Even if it doesn't work as good as Touch ID people will get over it. Touch ID will soon be dead in the Apple world.

It will work with sunglasses - the S8 does, as long as it isnt a HUGE glare in your face.

 

[kbk75]

I've been ready to buy the "new" OLED iPhone for a few months now, based off rumours that have been trickling out.

After the presentation today, I'm gonna wait for next year. The Face ID fail, it's seemingly slower speed than Touch ID, no Touch ID and no 512GB option = No buy.

Hopefully next year's model will have fixed all of those.

 

[paul43]

I think I'll stick with buying the 8 Plus

 

[kettle]

So Samsung skipped the numbers 6 and 7 for their note line and Apple decided to copy and skip straight to ten. I hope Samsung is nice enough to not sue.

I don't think skipping 'nine' is what Jobs meant when suggesting they skate to where the puck is going to be.

 

[jmgregory1]

Well the delayed launch of the X certainly speaks to the lower volumes they're currently getting out of production. Will be interesting to see how quickly they can ramp. My guess is that there will still be volume restraints at launch in 45 days, which will push deliveries out to January / February almost immediately.

 

[sequential]

Honestly I hate the new Iphone X. It's really sad because I was really planning to buy it but seeing it have changed my mind. Terrible terrible design.

 

[ruimpinho]

No TouchID and no home button, no buy. They could've made a solution similar to galaxy s8 with the home button.

 

[78Bandit]

The 7 Plus is the sweet spot in the lineup if it is indeed $649.

 

[godrifle]

I'm liking the iPhone 8 Plus!
