Heads up if you still walk around with your hair long and covering your face like you are doing a really bad Kurt Cobain impression all the time: FaceID does not like it when your hair falls in front of you all the time.
Luckily I was planning on getting the name significantly tamed tomorrow anyway.
Apart from that this thing feels really fast, especially coming from a 6, but surprisingly feels fast compared to my 10.5 Pro iPad. The screen looks mostly beautiful but I see a notable blue shift when held at more of an extreme angle. Really enjoying it so far.

I’ve actually been really surprised at how well it detects my face at a range of angles.
I really accentuated the movement of my head during setup.
Only thing I have noticed is battery life seems a bit sub par but I’d like to experiment more.
User-adjustable. You double tap the video to make it a rectangle or to zoom in to full-screen including notch and rounded corners.
It’s still a bit of a nuisance not to just have it there.
I now see why some folks say the unlock goes straight to the home screen - if you are quick when you pick up the phone you can swipe and it will unlock on the home screen simultaneously, or may pause for a fraction of a second, show the unlock at top, and go straight to home screen. My suggestion is don't wait for the facial recognition, just swipe as you lift it.
Dude, with respect, it's doing spotlight indexing, running through your photos, etc. etc. You won't get true battery life until a few days in because of all that happens with setup.
Just went to turn that on myself about five minutes ago and had a WTF moment, lol.
Not just any sunglasses, but Maui Jim sunglasses.
As Miss Piggy might have said, "Pretentious, moi?"

Thats a good idea about accentuating head movements during setup!, I kinda of rushed mine so might reset and do it again, cheers!
Did you also blindly click and unintentionally enable Low Power Mode because it’s where the option was before?
agree! super smart setup when switching from my 'old' iPhone 7 Plus to the X. just like when setting up the Apple Watch

I love silver iPhone X. My first impression has been expected. The silver color is more outstanding and premium as it looks on the commercial compared to space gray which looks pretty common. Very satisfied to choose silver for the first time.
Shareholders will be pleased too, from the resonance here and elsewhere.
I've got to see one. And then I've got to convince myself (and the secretary of finance) the 256G version really is five times better than a 32GB SE.
Because that's the price-difference (with carrier subsidies) I'm looking at.

100% satisfied! I’ve had the latest iPhone every year since the original, and this is by far the biggest upgrade for me. This is also the first time where I feel there is absolutely nothing missing in terms of hardware and absolutely nothing I envy from a competing flagship phone. Job very well done Apple!
Nope, it's $1000 or $1150. Further, it's a pocket computer with a processor faster than the entry-level MBP.
Got my overpriced X. Why not include the fast chargers?
That can't do many things the shower MBP can do. File system anyone???
Please, file that response under ludicrous.
So far love it but not too sure about the battery life. It seems to be draining pretty quick.
I find it fascinating, and telling, that the story here, with positive happy comments about an Apple product has 40-ish comments, while the 2 negatively cast stories below have 10 times the number of comments. What's the motivation to release negative stories about Apple? The question answers itself...

First. Day. It's doing a million things it won't have to do in coming days.
Iphone X is a massive leap from what we have known as iPhone since release. Based on the intuitive nature of the navigation alone is worth the upgrade for me, it is LIGHTENING fast and makes me think why hasn't it always been this easy. Sure, its gorgeous, feels great in the hand and FACE ID has yet to miss identifying me even once in the two hours I have owned it now, but that navigation, flicking apps, searching open apps, siri, all of it just kicks ass. Apple congratulations on iPhone X, AMAZING work. Beyond expectations.
Right, because you need more power for instagram, emoji AR & facebook than a computer running desktop OS, professional multimedia production apps, virtual machines, servers, terminals, music, several emails, several browsers, text editors & IDEs, network monitoring, professional external hardware, etc.
That's how good the MB is lol.
I think we should give them the benefit of the doubt. The specificity is probably related to Apple's contention that some polarized lenses cause issue. Listing the brand and model that succeeded or failed helps everyone over the long term.
