[POLL] -- Best X Features

[flat five]

I'm sure i missed some choices in the poll.. if so, discuss in the comments.

Only 2, damn that's not easy there's at least four I'd like to pick. So I'm adding Gestures and Face ID to my votes Oh, and wireless charging, not an X exclusive but it's about bloody time we had it.

Attention awareness, reducing ringer volume etc it a cool use of Face detection.

For me personally, the ability to check notifications at the tap of the screen. I've been wanting that for years. Goes without saying that the design, screen, build quality, and Face ID are all exceptional features.

heh, while i didn't vote for it (i went with faceID and Design), tapping the screen to wake/notifications is really good..
seems like that could/should of been on the other iPhones as well.

There is no option for “none”. That is my choice

I think the best technical/practical feature is FaceID, especially in regards to potential applications of this technology. But I had to vote for design. This is something you use every day, and the stainless steel frame on the Space Gray models feels absolutely amazing.

that option is there.
you just don't vote is all.

not really sure why you couldn't pick at least one though.. such as 'build quality'.. or what, even that isn't up to your standards?

two choices are allowed in this particular poll.

Yeah I don't see why not. I mean, it's not exactly hard to tilt a phone or push a button to wake it, but as we are in the realms of first world problems here, a tap of the screen is more convenient IMO.

My personal preferences would be the form factor/size of the new iPhone and it's comfortability, alongside with Face ID as well. Face ID obviously having the most potential and will be interesting to see how this develops for future iPhones.

Hey OP: You missed the speakers. I had a 7 with great speakers. This X has even better, clearer, and louder speakers than the 7 and they both work on calls. Put it in your poll.

i like how you can now go to the top of a page (say News or website) by touching one of the notches (as well as just below the sensor housing)..

it’s a larger and more reliable target to hit than the status bar as on my 6s

oh yeah.. good point. i’m coming from a 6s in which case, the speakers are waaay better on the X..

like, i’ve already used it for listening to music through the native speakers and find it acceptable to good.. even some bass is coming through.. i never did that with my previous phone

lol.. another good one i forgot to add (cameras)

that's one of the main things i like about the X..
(coming from 6s.. always wanted the Plus cameras but never wanted that size of phone)

thanks for the reminder.

------------
maybe if someone does a bigger&better similar poll eventually, they'll be able to use this one and this thread as a starting point.

Apple has to work on the energy requirements for the Face ID function, however imagine that Face ID can be used to detect your eye movement and are able to scroll within safari up and down a webpage. Or how about when your eyes are not on the screen, if you are watching a video it auto pauses and then resumes when your eyes are back on the screen. I could provide more user case scenarios with games, etc, however you get the point.

Those are great examples of how Face ID could continue to expand and I would not be surprised if those are features they could be implemented in the future. Nice analogies in your post.
