iPhone X Owners Complain About Keyboard's 'Wasted Space'

That's probably the case. But I do remember seeing a video of the X really blue at an angle and the person that shot it gave an update stating his camera was set up incorrectly.
How did you do that? That header is annoying AF. Can't find that setting under the regular Messages section in Settings.
These plus the fact that Face ID didn’t work well at all for my most common use cases (flat on desk or beside me) made me go for the 8 plus instead. This feels like more of an upgrade from the 7/8 phone size and less so from the plus models. Screen is pretty though.
Honestly mean it in the sense that there are some seeds planted for some really cool os changes.
I've found the same, for me, it works upto about a 45º angle.
Maybe if you register your face at a 45º angle, that would enable you to unlock with face ID in landscape! , albeit only one way in landscape!
Ugly as heeeell too. Just like the iPhone Plus keyboard on iOS 11 in landscape. Apple is getting lazy
Everyone that is having an issue with landscape and FaceID while laying down:
When you are laying down and using your phone, turn on orientation lock. FaceID will work just fine.
I find orientation lock is a must for horizontal use (for lack of a better word).
* This won't work if you are sitting/standing upright and using your phone in landscape.

There is no setting; I did it manually by just scrolling it away and leaving it that way. Will only last until the phone reboots.
Muench's mockup with the emojis over the bar are way to crowded, IMO, for such a crucial control area. You don't want to go for the bar and get an emoji.
And I had to laugh a little bit... as while I *love* Todoist in terms of being one of the best todo type apps around, the UI isn't exactly great (for one, it relies way too heavily on 'natural language' input instead of having direct controls). It could use a lot of work (and I've suggested a number of improvements over the last couple of years).
And Apple still has 'Human Interface Guidelines'? I thought they'd kind of given up on good UI.

On pre-X iPhones my success rate in swiping up from the bottom to open Control Centre while a keyboard was on the screen was probably about 5%. So I got in the habit of closing the app with the keyboard so I could swipe up.
On the iPhone X, swiping up is not only more important - for changing apps - but if you have reachability turned on, you also have to be able to swipe down on the bar. I’d expect slim to no cvjance of doing that successfully if keyboard buttons were placed above the Home bar.

Would love it if they added a row of numbers along the top. Android users get the pleasure of that ability.
iPhone X owners can shut the hell up. They don't get complain after all the sane legitimate issues were pointed out & they were just "I don't care, shiny, new, me wantee".
To use that notch lovers logic. The blank space under the keyboard is "distinctive" & it makes the phone look "uniquely Apple".

But the keyboard being higher, which allows for normal use as it replaces the bezel, is not a legitimate issue. They could have jammed emojis in the void but then it would interfere with reachability and home bar usage.
