iPhone X | OT | Hello Future | November 3

I didn't stand in line and neither did most people. It also has nothing to do with the phone itself.
Ads that try to insult the competition -- and by association the people buying iPhones -- are never as good as just selling your own product. It comes off as desperate. It certainly didn't make me think, "You know, you're right. I'm an idiot for not accepting Samsung as my lord and savior! Screw the X!"
So my usual response is:
Lest we forget those awful I'm a Mac I'm a PC commercials.
Many people didn't stand in line. Did my whole upgrade on the internet.
There's no issue. Swiping home in a full screen video is just as easy as going home from anywhere else. It's also really easy to bring down notifications and control center in full screen video too. You no longer have to swipe multiple times to get it to take like before.
YouTube app has been updated with iPhone X support.
Also just wanted to add my opinion that iPhone X makes top bars unreachable and bottom bars inconvenient. Many fundamental iOS UI paradigms need to be rethought.

Could be.
Still though loading time and memory management are the things you don't wanna mess up for a new phone lol.
Especially after the new screen luster wears off and you start wondering why this doesn't run super amazing for something I paid a grand for.
I think that many user interface paradigms that are fundamental to iOS need to be rethought, as bottom bars are inconvenient and similarly top bars are unreachable, due to the iPhone X's shape.
Thanks to movies anywhere I have spider-man homecoming in itunes and thus the iPhone X Video app. I loaded it up and was watching it in HDR on my X (the Video app says it's 4K with Dolby HDR, no sure exactly what the phone is outputting though)... really impressed me at how good it looked for a phone display.
I found an easy way to do it: Use reachability. Swipe down from mid height of the very bottom apps = the upper screen goes down. Then you only have to swipe down from the top right (now middle of the screen).

But they did. The underlying technology, a 3D mesh of your facial expressions in real time, is available to developers. All they have to do is create 3D modes and rig them up to the 3D mesh stuff. Devs are free to create their own animoji system for use in their apps.
Just like devs can create their own scribble feature or implement stickers. They have to do it from scratch but it's possible. The face mesh API parts make this "uncredibly easy".
I don't even own an iPhone X. I was just making fun of the post that was quoted in the post above mine, which seems to have been lifted word-for-word from a tweet.
So this Samsung attack ad is trending on YouTube, but rofl at the cosplayer waiting in line at the Apple Store
It would be best for you to not make things up, then.
He's right though, it does seem that way. You are welcome to tell us why it isn't as it seems if you wish.
I don't see how. They can't make you use FaceID. And the only other way is a passcode which they need a warrant for.
Apple just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about top and bottom bars (I'm an expert), but reachability and convenience are huge parts of it.
Apple, publicly apologize and rethink many fundamental iOS UI paradigms in the iPhone X or you can kiss your ergonomics goodbye.

nobody else try this

Unless you run into someone whose upper head looks exactly like yours.

Lol at the evolution of his mustache
my bad, the side + vol up forces passcode without initiatng SOS. (I have mine disable and my settings transferred over so I forgot about the SOS part.)

At work. My old qi charger works. Also at this distance face Id unlocks at normal sitting distance. Just need to double tap to wake and I'm in.

Loving the phone so far, but what's the consensus on True Tone? It seems to yellow the screen a bit which leads to the illusion for a muddied looking display. I understand the purpose, but I like my crisp whites. Is everyone using this feature or are they turning it off? Just trying to get the community's take on it. Thanks!
Mine is just one tap to wake. Do you have a setting changed?
I'm using it and finding that it looks far more natural than when it's turned off. I've turned it off a couple times just to see what it's like going back, and everything just looks cold and blue. Not going back.
Same here. I was a big night shift user before true tone displays were a thing though so it makes me feel right at home. I don't mind the tint on the display, and I like how it adapts to the lighting around you.
I'm kind of with you on this one. I've always loved the pop of the white on the screen and I understand by enabling this it will adjust the tone to match your surroundings, but I'm in the office most of the day under fluorescent lighting and my screen is yellow most of the day. I typically leave Apple features turned on, since they were developed for a reason (like going to a restaurant and order a steak well done, you don't do it). I'll give it a chance but may revert to turning it off.
I'm 6'7" so dropping it while talking on the phone would be more than a 6 foot drop. Granted it won't happen but still.
I leave true tone on since it produces a screen color that more closely resembles the ambient light color of the room I'm in.
Seems to makes sense given that most ambient light is on the warmer side of the spectrum.
They would say this. It seemed to fare pretty well in EverythingApplePro's drop test.
I'm actually not going with SquareTrade or any insurance for the phone since I've never broke a phone, although there's a first time for everything. Fingers crossed.
