Samsung to Slash OLED Panel Production on 'Weak Demand' for iPhone X, Claims Nikkei

FACT: Apple doesn't break down it sales by models. So there is no proof of anything except market changes.
Apple is discontinuing this phone. To me, that means it BOMBED!

So I'm not sure what that makes you. Tim Cook said it was the best selling iPhone ever, the same guy that said no FM chips were in iPhones until the NAB did a break down and proved him wrong. I could go on with Tim Cook's serial lies, but I'll let you stay on your cosmic journey instead.

If the last quarter Apple had is considered a failure, I would hate to see what a quarter looks like where they succeed. Over 50% of the profit for the entire industry isn't good enough? In the end, whether the X was a failure or a success won't matter (it wasn't a failure anyway) when you are raking in this kind of dough.

It might be useful to list all of Tim cooks “serial lies”. This way we can all deconstruct them one by one.

Can someone tell me why FaceID is so great? Every time I pickup my phone I can unlock it at the same time because I am picking it up with my thumb. I can pick it up at any angle and never have to hold the phone up in front of me.

How is FaceID more convenient than this if I have to point it at my face all of the time?

Most importantly, if I want to disable FaceID and use passcode is this possible?

Why is FaceID so great and how is it more convenient... I never pick up my phone and not look at it so it's natural and I'm logged in immediately. If the phone is set down, I typically only use things I can get at in the lock screen but I agree that there's times where I don't want to pick it up but have to. However, this minor inconvenience that happens maybe once a day is overshadowed by the speed and accuracy of FID vs TID the 30-40 (guessing) other times I log into my phone in a day. Of course everyone may have a different experience as seen in plenty of posts here on MR but mine is that FID is faster and more accurate than TID and my face is impeded less often than my fingertips are. I'd have to resort to the password with TID maybe 5 times a day and I have to resort to the password with FID maybe one time a day.

Yes, there are settings for FID where you can disable it for logging on. Also, if you were to wave it at your face for 3 seconds and it didn't recognize you, it'll ask for the password (just like a failed TID logon). There's another way to do it with buttons but it's not quintuple-clicking the lock button (I nearly just placed an emergency call) - I guess that's how it's done on TID phones. for the X it's like going to the shutdown/emergency call screen by holding the lock and one of the volume buttons, then hitting cancel and entering the password to log on. Writing this reminded me of another post...

I don't care for FaceID. I want to have to unlock my phone apart from just looking at it. TouchID also gives me the opportunity to allow my spouse or daughter to access my phone easily in case of a personal emergency. Without multi-user support on iOS, TouchID is the only solution for this--and this is a critical medical issue for me.

Wouldn't your family member just enter the passcode? Is it that important that the secondary users of your personal device have touch or face access? If your condition requires the potential extra 3 seconds it takes to enter the password instead of the fingerprint AND assuming that the fingerprint is accurate enough that it never takes the other users a second or third try to log in, then I completely understand your need for an alternate user's immediate access... But I'm still skeptical that you'd depend on TID for that instead of learning to quickly unlock with a passcode.

I use the alpha-numeric passcode option for better security. It is difficult for others to memorize it. Also, having served in an ED for a short time, I can testify from personal experience that when a person is under duress, it is easier simply to perform gross motor skills (e.g. TID) than to try to remember a password.

Who would’ve thought $1000 phone that does exact same thing as last year wouldn’t sell

AKA They produced enough for the holiday season and now cut down to a more typical schedule.
