I don't think Apple dislikes it since they went to the cost and trouble of implementing Rounded Rectangles at the corners and the inverse of rounded rectangles by the notch.
Got a tip for us?

And along with all those articles about TouchID under the display were articles of having face recognition, 3D front facing camera.
You do know Apple develops multiple prototypes right?
This.
But I guess the myth of the failed under-glass TouchID will linger for a very long time (at least in the macrumors.com forums).

How is it questionable that all that EXTRA stuff, even if it's "coupled on" doesn't take up space?
You are also totally discounting that were it not for the fact that there is a notch (to put all of the non-Face ID components), Apple wouldn't have relocated them in order to preserve the "all screen" aesthetic that was their aim initially.
But regardless... you really think it's questionable that more components take up more space? Seriously? Are they making them out of dark matter or something? iMatter perhaps?
The notch exists (in it's huge and ugly form) because Apple failed to incorporate Touch ID (it's first choice, by all accounts BEFORE they had to settle for Touch ID (at which point of COURSE they started to hype Face ID... what choice did they have? Admit failure?)). That doesn't mean Apple won't sell a gazillion of them, or that Face ID will "suck", or that the notch will ruin my life.
It just means the vast majority of people (Apple included) would have preferred an "all screen" design with Touch ID, instead of the Frankenphone they launched with last resort security measures. You can also interpret that to mean that: given the choice, people would "dislike" the X in it's current form, compared to what they were aiming for.
No doom and gloom. Apple just tried and failed. It happens. Face ID is the consolation prize, but it'll be fine. I just wish it didn't necessitate a gaping notch. It won't stop me from buying one, but it doesn't mean it's not generally "disliked" by almost all involved...

Look, I'll never be able to convince you that Apple's first choice wasn't to abandon a tried and true security feature in order to blemish their anniversary flagship with a notch (at minimum a larger one) and incorporate a feature that nearly universally no one wanted or was asking for.... but if you were simply using common sense and not relying on Apple spinning Face ID as something they always dreamed of, what is more LIKELY?
It isn't a "myth". Apple scrambled for an alternative after failing to incorporate Touch ID. Face ID is our consolation prize.
We'll see how people react to Face ID after the launch, but even if it works as advertised, it already has limitations and risks Touch ID does not. And what about the advantages? What are those exactly? Oh that's right... Apple was able to incorporate it into the X when they failed to get Touch ID under the OLED screen so they could release it this year. That IS a pretty big advantage. I guess???
here's what i quoted you as saying"
"Face ID absolutely takes up more space than a single front facing camera and proximity sensor."
which means the infrared camera & dot projector together.. is larger than all the other stuff.. that faceID consumes more space than mic/camera/proximity/light sensor/speaker consumes..
and it's questionable because from that image at least, it looks like the faceID components are equal in size to the other stuff.. or possibly even smaller than the other items.

curious..
can you share a link or two that you're basing all of this off of?
i assume you're going by something you read online and aren't completely pulling this out of thin air.. (or are you?).. so what were you reading?

This post is a mess.
You're assuming things & insulting me at the same time.
Thanks for making my decision to respond to you in future that much easier.
heh.. looks like Instagram needs to update their app to be more optimized for iPhone X..
that doesn't look right

Interesting to note that there seems to be no sim card installed (judging by the lack of a carrier name on the lock screen as well as no service in the right ear).
FaceID seems to be disabled too.

Even Apple employees seem to dislike Face-ID / find it inconvenient.
It's interesting to see to most of us regardless of if the phone has been announced by Apple or not. We can't get our hands on it right now, and there are no reviews because of the embargo. Any images of the device in a real-world setting is interesting to me.
I missed this one in the other thread, thanks.
One thing that was unclear to me: I didn’t see the padlock at all, so Face ID either unlocked super duper fast, or it wasn’t activated.

Good point! especially since I guess most are photos from the distance spotted at airports and stuff haha
Not gonna lie either, that silver has me smitten.
ITS GOOD MARKETING

I know what you mean...I was all set to pre-order the X in SG, but now I’m not so sure, haha!!
It’s sort-of a homage to the original. Man, first-world problems
There are going to be so many apps that don’t layout correctly to start with
Anything that is compiled against iOS 11 is already marked as supporting of the X, and if it isn’t using the new layout API’s we’ll see a lot of top and bottom ugliness.
