what i like in the X is that the entire front side is the display, barring the earpiece.

I think it did not fail. The video shows that its needs the pin to enable faceid. Using an iphone for the first time after power up needs an unlock pin to enable touch id/ faceid just like in Samsung too.

If you were presenting a new car and discovered during presentation you forgot to bring the key it would be a fail. This is the same. If you're going to present a new phone make sure it's fully charged, unlocked and ready to be used.

Thin bezel was an exploding Samsung innovation. Apple is copying Samsung features like thin bezel and Amoled screens.

For me android still much better than ios

I'd say that iOS is definitely better than Android- more secure, elegant to use and (arguably) protects your privacy because its not Google.
But Apple stuff is very overpriced- the only products I would consider are the iphone SE and maybe the iPad 2017 which are both "budget" by Apple standards.
The cost of the iphone X is ludicrous in my opinion. You can do 90% of what the iphone X can do with a mid-range Android phone costing a fifth of the price.
Apple rely on marketing hype and they are very good at manipulating the media. They convince people that their products are "must have" items but most people probably don't need or use half the features in their Apple products !!

the thing that hurts is apple's "innovation"!
I admit that when they do implement things they make sure the job is well done.
but pretty much most of apple's "innovations" appeared in android first ! well except for that "i" they put before it.
I'm not trying to bash apple , but 1000$ on a phone that merely has one extra feature compared to the iPhone 8 version , this ridiculous ! heck a gaming laptop these days can be bought for 1000 $ .. same goes for that note 8 -_- compared to it's little brother the s8 .
on an unrelated topic ;
and this reminds me, the Apple's face recognition that's utilizing the bionic A11 chip's "neural engine" that is capable of learning changes that might occur to one's face, I mean as much as this is awesome, this AI intelligence is terrifying to be honest ! just a month ago I saw a video about a Dota 2 AI bot, developed by Elon Musk's startup "openAI", was self-taught how to play Dota 2 beating world champions with ease !

I should add that despite my above post criticising Apple, I own an iphone SE and am very pleased with it. I also have an ipad (refurbished from their online store) and thats very good too !!

I remember a professional IT magazine in the Netherlands (automatiseringsgids) which published a special on Steve Jobs and his plans for the NeXTstep operating system and PC (called NeXTcube). At that time, I really thought he had gone bazerk with a below 10,000 dollar PC. What on earth would normal human beings benefit with those 3D graphics (remember every game was simple Arcade style two dimensional monochrome). I did not know that he bought shares in Pixar and the NeXT software could be transformed to be used in animation graphics. But I am not a visionair, nor millionair, so forgive not seeing the bigger picture at that time.
Being an old timer in IT, the blog in AV-comparatives reflects my thoughts on Apple innovation and Steve Jobs (remember I don't use an iPhone, but a windows phone, because Bill donated most of his money in a trust for charity).

I was just reading about it. the chip manufacturing is a problem for Apple X and Apple is running quite late for the demanded models for production. Let's hope everything turns out good for Apple this year coz Apple iPhone 8 is being called a failure these days!
If you got beaten until like below you think your facial ID will work?

Hahahaha I guess he would have to pick up the phone several times whilst getting his face beaten up , to give the phone a chance to adapt to his new face.
and if he starts calling siri "adrian" , that would be epic
I wonder why people buy Iphones... it is highly expensive, you have far less good hardware than a Android phone of the same price...not saying some crucual components are from samsung LOL
