I am glad they gave the iPhones for review before Friday, because thanks to these quick reviews I decided to cancel my Pre-Order for the iPhone X. Going to see how the Face ID subject develops in the following weeks to then make a decision of going for it or waiting for the 2nd version of the product (which I am sure will bring Touch ID again).
Got a tip for us?

You need to take into consideration that some people just have sweaty palms. Some more than others. Personally, my palms get sweaty frequently and Touch ID just doesn’t work for me when they’re sweaty. I always have to rely on manually inputting my passcode. I am honestly excited for FaceID even though its not perfected yet *although I’d say it seems to work fine 90% of the time*
That’s a good point. I didn’t notice how far from his face he was holding it when I watched his video.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.
...on the silver/white iPhone X, yes. Of course they are. What other color would they be? They are grey or black on the space grey model.
Sound like it in the software not the hardware so it can be fix in updates I think! Stay tune! I sure Apple is probably pulling it smartest programmers to work on ironing out the bugs since there are alot of trolls and haters that Apple wants to squash!
No, according to interviews they will be abandoning Touch ID going forward. As well they should. The early reviews of Face ID are glowing overwhelming very positive. Basically with one lone exception and that person had all but abandoned their initial claims already.
you can't be serious? you would cancel your order based by one person's opinion? LOL WOW
and no Touch ID is gone for good
He’s also pointing it up at the sky, I wonder if that’s the problem? Not sure. It could just be a pose for the camera as well.
Joined today, sounds legit!
Where did he backtrack? I didn’t see any backtracking from him, just other reviewers saying they didn’t seem to have he issues.
Even if so, a first version of a product is always never as polished as it should be. And I am sure they if they can solve the Touch ID directly on the screen they will use it. I don't see a reason not to add it.
Canceling a pre-order based a person's perspective is exactly what it means. It's a simple "Let more people get the phone after release, do their respective reviews and feedback and based on that I may order it again or not".
So post it here, exactly where because everything I’ve seen indicates no backtracking.
This is the same animation (shorter) as the YouTube posted in my other reply. According to Universally everything it is included with stock wallpapers.

His complaint now is that he ran into two instances when it didn’t work well for him. Two.
That’s not backtracking. He only said he had issues with it, and mentioned in there that he had issues with it. Where is the backtracking?
...yes, that is backtracking. He’s now claiming to have only have had two instances where it was an issue. Not to mention that also called it, “The Greatest iPhone Ever Made.” He clearly isn’t someone to take seriously. He obviously accomplished his real goal...clickbait.
I am sure that is the case. When I initially picked up a Microsoft Surface Pro earlier this summer. I thought that the face ID was crap and I was becoming increasingly frustrated with its inconsistency, particularly in bright light and dark situations. Between the devices recommended retraining in difficult lighting situations and OS updates, it now works pretty damned good. Surprisingly well.
I am confident that the initial inconsistencies will be worked out. It hasn't dampened my enthusiasm for the iPhone X at all.
you use it yourself and decide on that basis not some random reviewer. You have 14 days to return the device after all.
It's a 1200 dollar phone. For that money I am expecting ZERO flaws and I already see some in the early reviews. Again, this may be just because these guys have 24 hours to review them and everything is very rushed on their side. But still I wont die if I get my iPhone in 2 or 5 weeks.
Well if Microsoft can figure it out, there is hope for everyone!
Right? If MS can figure it out. Apple damned sure can. I have faith it will be working well pretty fast
