And if you do, thank god you have a girlfriend putting drops in your eyes so they don't dry out.So as long as I don't sleep with my eyes open I'm good. Excellent!
You don't even need to do that, if you're not looking at the phone, you're not getting in.Easy... assuming the click SOS feature is still active on X.. just click the side button 5 times. Then set the phone down. She'll be forced to use the lock screen keycode instead of Face ID. It is the same as someone shutting down fully and rebooting the device, FACE ID does not work until after the first time you log in with keycode.
I don’t want faceID because touchID is better (plus it requires a deliberate act on my part to unlock - i need to use one of the correct fingers, and I can easily make it not work if i want to by using the wrong part of my finger - this is a feature).
Why does it seem people are forgetting that this is still an option?
Perhaps someone can answer this for me. How do I keep my bat **** crazy girlfriend from unlocking my iPhone X while I'm sleeping? I normally sleep on my back. Sometimes on my side. All she'll have to do is aim the phone at my face right? Guess I could sleep on my face. Probably would be hard to breath though. Lock the actual phone away perhaps. Kick my girlfriend to the curb. Guess I'll figure something out. Suggestions are welcome.
Incorrect, the edges are smaller and the top section cannot be used for other than what Apple has them setup for.. meaning it's basically a small bezel on the top. The usable portion of the screen is a little larger than the iPhone 6/7/8 but not the same as the Plus series, it's smaller by a lot.
Here is the fun part, Apple hasn’t taken TouchID away. They have created a single device that uses a new technology in place of TouchID while keeping every single other TouchID device in place. Apple has created a test bed device for FaceID. It wouldn’t be shocked at all if next years “X” device has TouchID integrated into the screen.A poor example because she could use your finger to unlock the phone while you sleep. Maybe.
People are focusing on the wrong thing here.
It's not about whether FaceID works well or not. It's about Apple taking TouchID away so soon.
TouchID is a proven and tested technology. It's also very convenient to use. And reasonably secure.
Do you know anyone that has a TouchID phone that choose to enter their passcode manually?
When my iPhone is flat on a conference table, it's pointed straight at the ceiling and my face is at a 90 degree angle to it. Launch your rear facing camera, lie it on a table. Now creep your face into the shot. You'll be about 6 inches away by the time you can see your forehead. From what I've seen of other facial recognition smartphones, you need to align your eyes very close to dead center. It just won't work lying flat on a table.
If the Face ID sensors have a wide enough field of view to get a clear look at my face from 2 feet away sitting at a 90 degree angle then surely it will have a clear look at other faces in the seats adjacent to me.
you won't really know until it's out and in real world use.. A multi millionaire like yourself should be able to just buy one try it out, and if it doesnt work for you throw it in a drawer or give it away to a friend or family member.
Marketing gimmick.. look how the measured it. I've had my time with the X twice now, can't stand how much smaller it is. The Plus is clearly larger, if you buy into Apple's marketing then sure it's bigger.. if you want to be real about the usable real estate it's much smaller.Isn't the screen of the X 5.8" vs. 5.5" for the 8+? I don't know how thats "smaller by a lot".

But that's exactly how it works, per Craig.

Gaze detection. If your eyes aren't looking at the screen she's not getting in. Craig specifically addressed this on John Gruber's podcast.
Dump her. It will only get worse. When you do that, come back and let’s talk about the iPhone X. You got bigger problems now
I'd just prefer having the option and think it would have been a much better idea for Apple to have offered Face ID for the first time on a device that also supported Touch ID. That would have allowed customers to test the waters and not be required to jump in with both feet first.

No, it doesn’t. You don’t have to wait, FaceID will work by the time you swipe. Again, explicitly described by Craig.It requires FaceID to do it's thing and then you swipe up though. It's not like the V30's facial recognition that can sense you and open instantaneously without even touching the power button either. Nor is it like Samsung's one where you just press the power button and presto. Although Samsung's isn't as secure.
I'm fine with introducing new technology.
But I do have a problem when existing and proven current technology is abandoned for the new technology in the inaugural product.
That is what we have here with the ipX.
To say otherwise, would be untrue.
Your argument is faulty. On so many levels.
Face ID isn't the only thing stopping me from getting the X. The screen is just to small when compared to the Plus sizes. I just can't see myself dropping what I already have for something smaller.
FaceID works when the iPhone is laying flat on a surface. You just have to make eye contact with the phone. You can also turn off the attention-awareness setting so you don't have to look directly at the phone for FaceID to work.
