the thing with faceID, at least my understanding of it..

is that it will learn your variations over time.. with touchID, it uses the initial setup as the key but won't adapt over time..
whereas with faceID, the profile can and will change over time.

or-- if this 'trick' for setting up the profile does help initially, it likely won't be doing much in the long run as your profile in two weeks from now won't be the same one used upon initial set up.

?
(again, just my current understanding of how the faceID profiles work)
I love this song so...

The iPhone X is AMAZING!!! I love it. The display is beautiful. the faceID works as advertised. I don't know what to say... WOW!!! I think iPhone X is the first phone that I LOVE!!!! Apple did that. :D:D:D

Same. I’ve gotten every model since the original, and the X is absolutely fantastic. By far my favorite one to date.

Very happy with mine, nothing at all to dislike.

FaceID has worked well all day .... I’ve used it today outdoors in the bright Dubai sunshine, outdoors tonight in the dim light of a restaurant table, indoors at home with daylight and now sitting indoors lit by a table lamp. I’ve also done it with and without spectacles. It hasn’t failed once to unlock, all in all impressed.

Very easy to get used to not having a home button.

Still some apps to work on compatibility but that will come and no big deal for me.

Not much more to say other than brilliant and well worth the spend considering how much I use this for both work and pleasure.

(I moved from a 7+)

I don't. Thick 5mm bezels on all sides plus that thing on the top. Surely it is not nicest phone out there. Ugly to me.

Easy solution ..... Don't buy one !

Use Face ID outside and report back.

Used outside in very bright sunshine .... and outside after sunset in dim light .... worked fine
 
That whole notchgate was so overblown. You hardly notice it when using it. This phone is so awesome. The form factor is what seals the deal for me, screen feels bigger than the Plus and it's a better form factor to hold in the hand than that huge brick of a Plus.
Yeah me and my friends are loving it.

I was skeptical too. Almost bought the Note 8. The Note is very premium. The iPhone X is now the most premium phone I have ever held. Very happy with my decision.

Can also confirm that you should do the two face scans at different angles to increase the unlock accuracy.

I first did my two scans at the same angle normal standing upright. Then it would not unlock when I woke up this morning in bed.

I then redid it one at normal angle one at a very low angle when I’m lying flat in bed.

It has worked flawlessly for me since.
 
I am very, very happy with mine as well. It truly does look very futuristic. Build quality is on point. Screen is amazing. I love how Apple put the screen on every last little bit of the phone they could. The only space that doesn't have screen is for the Face ID and microphone at the top. It really does look amazing. After turning off true tone, I am very happy with the screen.

Overall, I am stoked to have one on launch day, and I'm proud to be a part of this new beginning of Apple design language.

P.S. I am coming from an iPhone 7. The screen felt HUGE when I first turned it on! So awesome.

Respectfully disagree. Just watch them. Notch is not a negative. If you happen to dislike it then don’t watch full screen.

I disagree. I have always felt (and still do) that the Galaxy line of phones looks plastic-y. This device looks and feels very premium.
 
How did they put the screen where they could when there's 5mm ugly bezel all around the phone. It looks thicker on the sides than on the 7.

Samsung phones do not have bezels on the sides at all.

They have the fugly curved screen around all sides which function like bezels.
