LOL one person says "nearly perfectly" and the other says they "tried everything to trick it"... C'mon now. Saying "nearly perfectly" is relative to what that person thinks is "nearly perfectly" and do you believe the other tried literally "everything" to trick it? I think this is hilarious. Just the things I'm reading/seeing about all this.
Got a tip for us?

Come to UK where is almost always raining and more then likely when you are out your fingers are going to be wet. And to answer your last question about the wet face, you don't have to touch the sensors with your face, from what I understand so far.
No reason to be worried at this point. The only reviewer to cite a problem is already backtracking on Twitter.
You could be right.
Or, it could be that these reviewers are doing their due diligence and covering all the new features that the iPhone X brings, and which their audience will want to know about?
And perhaps animojis are there not as a fun cool thing, but partly as an example of how the depth camera can offer new options to developers?
Thanks, that looks interesting and I'm looking forward to it when my X arrives, but I meant specifically the screen animation that plays in the TV commercials with the "Best Friend" song that is on the Apple web page and playing during the World Series ads.
Seriously? You never ever have Touch ID fail if your fingers are wet or dirty or just under normal conditions have to try more than once?
This is gonna be a fun week. Lots of people will have to justify their purchases from both teams 
I’ve had three failures today, one because I came in at the wrong angle. The other two because my hands were wet. Touch ID also doesn’t work when my hands are too cold. Which in the UK is half the year. I actually love Touch ID but it isn’t perfect.
Or go to a gym on a daily basis? Sweating means it won’t work the entire time I’m working out or for a good while after.

I rarely use my phone when my hands are dripping wet or covered in dirt.
I don't recall the last time my touchID failed. I use it daily unlocking my phone and using ApplePay. Seriously.
There is a difference. The 6 and 6 Plus brought a real benefit that made it worthwhile to buy: a bigger screen. The iPhone X does not bring any kind of screen benefit like the 4 or the 6/6 Plus did, that makes it worthwhile to have an inferior experience with apps.
In fact, I would argue that updated apps have an inferior experience on the X than on the 8 Plus
Yep. Fails for me when my hands are too dry as well.
True. It actually works great for me unless I have wet/dirty fingers. My wife has really dry skin and her fingertips are often cracked. Touch ID fails about 50-70% of the time for her. Face ID will be a boon for people with skin/fingertip issues.

It doesn't get much brighter than a day at Disneyland.
Usually happens when I walk out of the gym on below zero to 20 degree day.

Must have been one of his failures.
His response.
Mine's on the way. I'll be making a comparison based on my user experience to a 6plus. At the moment, the 6plus is a bit sluggish and I'm not really pleased with the touch ID speed, accuracy, and limitations. (When my hands are dry in the winter, I'm almost always putting in my code)
Then when I come back to this or another review thread, I'll tell whoever has an incorrect opinion about their own experience with their iPhone X (good or bad) how wrong they are.
I may be the only one who thinks the notch is awesome. I think apps will find awesome ways to use those side-notch-areas (SNAs) for non-intrusive tools. Many apps could black them out or show some other information... Maybe we get to select in sys prefs that it shows the date and time while running apps that don't use the SNAs. This is all software related. When each software (including iOS) catches up to the hardware, it's going to be cool...

looks like he's making excuses now...
think he realises the amount of people questioning his thoughts
Give me a break. Your hands don’t have to be dripping wet in order for a touch ID to fail. At least for me and many other people, just a little bit of moisture left on your fingers after you wash your hands can cause a problem. Touch ID works great for me and I rarely have a problem. But to pretend that it’s 100% perfect and never ever fails or is inconsistent, is just silly. It’s not perfect. It doesn’t work 100% of the time for everybody. At times it’s inconsistent. For some people like my wife who have dry skin issues, it barely works at all.
If it never ever fails for you no matter what the circumstances, then good for you, but that’s certainly not the experience of most people.
Have you ever heard of lotion? If your wife has such issues with dry skin, just get a hand creme and use it more often.
