This snap is taken from the keynote and appears to be the optimal / expected posture for using Face-ID:

How comfortable would you feel doing this everyday constantly on a daily basis, and also for Apple Pay?

Who told you that is the optimal posture? Nobody? Stop trying to make an issue where there is none. Wait until the phone is released.

I've been debating off and on about getting the iPhone X. Finally made up my mind. Thank you Apple for making it easy!

I won't be "giving in" to the inferior tech and increased inconvenience with the lack of Touch-ID. Or be a part of case study of how people use Face-ID or be one of those who make it seem it's perfectly normal to use Big Brother Facial Rec for casual everyday use on your phone.

$999 Price does sting.. but that was not a dealbreaker. They failed to convince about the Safety of the tech.

- Having the IR and Dot Projector radiation pulsed at your eyes.. ~80 times a day on average. Where's long term safety studies on this? What spectrum/wavelengths are those waves? Where's the white-paper on those the TrueDepth sensors and long term safety studies?
- Having to constantly stare / actively gaze at your phone, then swipe up to unlock it. ~80 TIMES A DAY!
- Having to resort to using 6 digit Passcode after paying a hefty price.. No way for $999

I'm hoping the preorders get sold out soon enough before I have a chance to get to it.. This way I will take it as a sign and skip this generation. If the preorder stays up for a while I would be forced to preorder it.

Have you nothing better to do than start these pointless threads?

How is this different from those that read books, opening and closing the pages on a daily basis. I survived it in college. Yeah, I wish there was an option to turn face i.d. off in "Settings", but people will find excuses to dislike this.

There are hands on videos that unlock from much lower. The phone will be unlocked by the time you bring it up to use it. Worst case, yes, I'd be fine with looking at my phone in this manner to use it.

No need to pre-judge at this point. But there's plenty of evaluating to come.

I'm sitting back and relaxing w/my 6s. :D

I'm fine w/all the ipX buyers beta-testing the phone. Pay top dollar to beta-test! Come and buy it!

Apple is genius. LOL... :D
