Even if you make it sound legit, your totally wrong with this.
This is like wooden weels on high end cars because they can't get flat.
under display TouchID along with swiping display for FaceID seems... a bit weird/poor implementation of the two.. imo
Keep telling yourselves that. Right next to the headphone jack, right!? riiiight.
I can't wait to see this phone at the store. If there is any!
I feel like this is all hype to make people go nuts. There could be a lot of reason behind the staggered launch.

You should have waited until the technology was ready and hold back the X until 2018 and only released the 8 and next year only released the X. Too late now, the cat is out of the bag.
Touch ID is currently on the most premium iPads and Macbooks as well as one of the "flagship" iPhones (8). I am guessing it will continue to be present in those products for a few years. I doubt Apple will add FaceID to the iPad.
just want to thank everyone that purchases the X for participating in the largest product beta test since gmail rolled out a decade ago. your sacrifice will not be ignored, until gen2 comes out in 12-14 months and is vastly improved.
Romeo and Juliet killed themselves, not sure if naming components dying so tragically is a good idea 
On a serious note, this makes more sense, I was a tad critical on Cook (being a supply chain guru) on the delay, but I can see this being somewhat out of his hands. I still wonder why they waited until mere weeks to start making the phones in the first place, but that's just me. I'm sure there were other constraints preventing an earlier start.

The firmware leaked listed iPad and even ipod touch with upcoming face id so those are likely upcoming.
Maybe. So I am going to need to hold up my giant 12.9" iPad to use Apple Pay every time?
did it? i don't think there are other phones with front facing camera that have the screen encapsulating the camera.
for example, samsung S8 has a bezel up there iirc.. Apple added more screen around the camera area whereas samsung just went straight across.. the notch would likely be there with or without faceID.
or, the notch isn't imposing upon the screen area (if comparing to other phones at least)... the notch is formed by additional ears of screen..

would you rather Apple just went straight across up top and left a bit of bezel ala the S8? or should they have gone edge-to-edge and eliminate front facing camera ?
With these delays iPhone X seems more like a 2018 Launch than 2017
Totally agree. If they can't make enough iPhoneX's, people can't buy them. Only the "lucky" ones will manage to get their hands on 1 for the first weeks.
I can only imagine someone buying an iPhoneX in November 3rd and saying "ships in 8 weeks" LOL right in time for Xmas!!!
You mean when Samsung can get it to work underneath their displays they sell Apple. So far Samsung has been unable to do this, which is why the Galaxy S8s have a fingerprint sensor on the back, in addition to facial and iris unlocks.
