Again, "Face scanner" is not the invention in question. Please cite "plenty of smartphones" that use depth mapping of the face to do face scanning.Face scanner on a phone is not an invention, at least not new. Plenty of smartphones had it even before X came out.
Sure, just as soon as you accept that the design of all the other Android phones is a ripoff of the iPhone that has been on the market for 10 years.accept the design of the X is a ripoff off all the other Android phones that have been on the marke for 4 yrs.
iPhone X is indeed the best invention in iPhone history. Kudos to Apple.
Apple's new flagship iPhone X is one of the best inventions of 2017, according to a new list of the top 25 inventions of the year published this morning by TIME magazine.
The smartphone, which launched on November 3, features some of the most radical design changes Apple has introduced in an iPhone since the first iteration of the device launched in 2007. It does away with the Home button, includes an entirely new user interface that embraces new gestures, brings impressive new camera technology, and introduces next-generation biometric authentication in the form of Face ID.

Apple Design Chief Jony Ive says Apple was "looking to the future" with the decision to remove the Home button, and that holding onto features, even those that have been effective, "is a path that leads to failure." As for cost, Ive says packing those features and impressive processing power into the iPhone X has "financial consequence."
Dan Riccio, Apple's senior vice president of hardware engineering, says the iPhone X is "something we really wanted to do since day one."
Based on estimates for demand, the iPhone X is a hit with consumers. It's received largely positive reviews, and despite some bugs and hiccups with a small number of issues, its launch has been a success.
The iPhone X is just one of 25 products that were named the best inventions of the year. Other items that were highlighted by TIME include the Jibo robot, Halo Top low calorie ice cream, the heated Ember mug that keeps coffee warm, a multi-directional elevator, 3D printed Adidas shoes, the Tesla Model 3, the DJI Spark, the Nintendo Switch, and fidget spinners.

I'm a fan of apple but c'mon give me a break. One of the best inventions? What about all other phones that look a lot like the iPhone X? Man, it's gotta be nice to have enough money to change the narrative/influence of a product.
There are aspects of the iPhone X that no other phones have right now, but I guarantee you will have soon. Folding the screen under the display, for one.
Otherwise, what does looking like the iPhone have to do with it? And how do you think money was involved here? Popularity, sales, sure...but are you insinuating Apple paid them?
Where did you get the idea that how the iPhone X looks is the invention here? They're not talking about fashion, but rather things like the IR depth-mapping face scanner technology. That is an invention.
I can't think of other phones with facial recognition that can't be spoofed with a photograph.
IPhone X is more evolutionary than revolutionary. I think the original IPhone and the 3G etc could be termed more revolutionary. Nicer screen, faster, better camera - but its not like we are talking 2X battery life that really changes the game.
Yeah very realistic scenario that should be a cause for concern /sYeah, just a $150 mask. Wheeee!!

The advanced FaceID is new, for example.How so? Seemed to be a reactionary move to the flood of bezelless Androids flooding the market.
What was the other one?I'm inclined to agree. The iPhone X is the best phone I've ever used.
