Live Coverage of Apple's iPhone X Event at Steve Jobs Theater

It has stuff the other iPhones don’t have. But those are gimmicky features that you should avoid purely because it’s a version 1 product. The internals are basically identical.

Those are hardly gimmicky. Been waiting for a higher than 1080p iPhone display for years. And optical image stabilization, especially dual optical image stabilization, takes much better pictures. I take a lot of pictures so this is a big plus for me. Facial recognition is a huge plus for a variety of reasons ... such as trying to unlock my phone when my hands are wet or my fingers are a bit oily, like if I'm eating food or something. Honestly, just because you don't see the benefits doesn't mean other people don't, lol.

Man! I hope you're being sarcastic. IMHV, Apple needs to make up their mind on who their target audience will be ...

A. People who can pay upwards of $1,000 for a phone
B. Those who would like to communicate via animated poop :rolleyes:

If Face ID is fast, I'll be really excited. I'm kind of sick of pressing the thumb print multiple times in order for the phone to maybe recognize me- Especially when my finger is wet.

Oh! Well ... that's nothing ... wait until you get the Face ID to recognize you at 5AM when you'd like to do a quick check on messages etc. :D

I see no safe way to unlock the iPhone X while driving. That's an epic fail for me and makes this phone simply overpriced at $1000 without any Touch ID.

I realize the fascinating gimmick factor to the iPhone X, but why pay more for a phone that's display will not last as long and has less features and practical functionality in real life situations I'd be likely to use the phone?

Yup. I was thinking about that as well during the presentation. I use the Touch ID frequently while driving. I doubt I'll be comfortable with Face ID in similar circumstances.

Maybe set your phone to lock “never” whilst driving?

edit: but i do see the dilemma if you need to unlock a locked app requiring face unlock.


Maybe Apple need a universal unlock all apps and phone mode for driving.
 
The leather folio for the X looks fantastic!

Screen turns on when you open it just like iPads, £99 though.

Take my money, lol.
