Does iPhone has Secure Folder app which gives me a second sub-phone environment where i can run second copy of the same app independent?
No. So iPhone is a total failure in "powerful" app

So then every phone ever made has had a notch by your logic. IPhone, iPhone 3gs, iPhone 4, etc. SMH.

Android already has this for about the past 3 years.
Personally... Samsung makes good phones, but their Android skin is terrible IMHO, and don't get me started on Bixby. I've loved Apple for 20+ years but they finally lost me with iPhone X. I went back to eBay to acquire a 7+ a month ago, my iPhone X has been sitting in a drawer, and will probably find it's way to eBay here shortly.
7+ .... The last great iPhone....

Sorry but I just don't get that. What is so repulsive about the iPhone X, that you'd go all the way back to the 7+? The 8+ is just fine if you must have Touch ID and can't live with Face ID.

Your entire phone should already be secure from others, so why do you need an extra layer on top?
Its the "little things" which gripe me as a sub-standard in these videos. Make Samsung look like second-class citizens, when i could say the same for Apple... "Reach-ability" is not all that useful either...
Your move Sherlock Some still think the headphone jack is good. but new is new...... we bash the other side with a brick just because its Apple...
I still reckon Tough ID on Samsung should be on the front.. You flip the phone over to keep finding out where it is. Apple's got the right idea on this one.. but i guess if your gotta make a screen edge to edge, which your working on it being under the screen (in development and users still want TouchID) you gotta make them happy,, even if at the end of the day, its not the right place.

You can set iPhone X not to use the notch area and letterbox for videos
Nice elitist and completely ignorant attitude you have there.
I think it's more than that. As nice as the icing on the case is becoming (I do give full marks to Samsung this time around... first time ever saying that!), Android is still far more susceptible to malware than iOS. This is a huge consideration factor between the two platforms. Has this become less of a concern for Android in recent years?
The Galaxy S9 is one IMPRESSIVE phone, both in design and performance. I would still never give my money to Samsung directly for anything, because they lost my respect years ago with their shady business practices, but I am not blind to their effort to out-do Apple, and they are delivering something impressive!

Those that criticize Animoji fail to realize it's merely a demonstration of the tremendous technology under the hood. That technology opens up so many new doors.
Neither the Galaxy S9 or the iPhone X exhibit any super features. Face ID is good but not killer tech and Samsungs dual ID feature is not good either as the facial recognition is 2D
Time for some killer features!!! AR in its full capability is still years away

But how do you send files from your phone to your computer and vise versa? Email? Google Drive? Ugh, those methods are so old and inconvenient.
And what happens when you're working on your computer and you get a text? Do you have to move to your phone in order to respond? Wouldn't it just be so much better if you could respond from the device that you're already on? When I'm working from my computer, sending texts with my keyboard is so amazing, and it's such a time saver.
I can't fathom why Android phone manufacturers still haven't figured out that these are amazing features. Why can't Android phones have anything similar to AirDrop and iMessages? It blows my mind that arguably Apple's best features still haven't been copied yet.
LG V30 and Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 apparently have higher screen-to-body ratios (I was pretty surprised about the LG one)
I don't like samsung or android phones but you should understand the word "notch" first.
The charge that Samsung has always been a poor person’s iPhone is only true when it comes to their mid- and low-end stuff. Flagships are flagships, they are pricey and they are generally excellent. I think the purple (seen above) and other colour options for the S9 are actually quite well-chosen, and they’ve really upped their camera game of late. Competition is good.
For me, the stumbling blocks are primarily slow updating, faster obsolescence (both of these being general Android issues rather than Samsung-specific), *really* poor fakeTouchID sensor placement compared to other Android phones with the sensor on the back, FakeFaceID not being secure enough for transactions and still foolable, some reports that iris scanning is not especially safe, and last but not least there is no way in hell I’m using that AR emoji. Might just be me, but holy crap that hits me right in uncanny valley.

This. I've been using Apple products since 1985, I've owned pretty much every product they've ever made. I used to choose Apple because I truly believed it was a superior product. Now I'm mainly weighing the effort of leaving the ecosystem versus staying. And the equation is building momentum towards leaving, frankly. Partly because I know it will only be harder the longer I wait. I've already started moving towards as many generic formats and processes as possible in anticipation of becoming platform-agnostic. Simply, because although Apple continues to make beautiful, capable products, so do others - for considerably less cost. It's just the state of tech these days - there's only so many ways to improve on it, that the differentiator is becoming price.
And their numbers don't add up really do they?
Then again, Phillip Michaels was also an editor @ Macworld, he's hardly impartial and is always iskewed...

Being overly critical about Face ID at this point is pretty ridiculous. Face ID works flawlessly most of the time. Yes there are quirks but it’s no different then Touch ID. In fact my Touch ID on my iPad Pro NEVER works. You need to get over it. Touch ID is gone. It’s not coming back. Move on.

I'm not in the market for either one, but the fingerprint reader (ironically which I've grown to love because of Apple), nicer design (IMO regarding the simpler display design), and lower cost would push me toward the S9 over the X. The "sticky" part of the iPhone for me is iMessage and Find my Friends, but I could find alternatives I suppose.
Hands down this would be the device I'd buy as my personally phone if it ran vanilla android. Samsung would probably have me for years to come.
The pixel is getting there, just not quite there yet. Nokia has an intriguing device around the bend too.

For an apple channel he's actually very objective and praised the S9 and samsung for what they have done
It really doesn't. The point is the notch cuts into the screen (or the screen wraps up either side of the earpiece, however you want to look at it).

THIS!!
I just don't understand why iPhone/iPad users are still happy with that wall of dead icons. And the larger the iPhones and iPads get, the more icons you have to stare at.
Plus the fact the screen populates from the top left corner, so if you choose to only have a few icons they're as far away from your thumb as possible.
