It's seems easy to screw up authentication with Face ID. Apple really did swallow a fly here [1] I wonder, has anyone compiled a full list of iPhone X fails? There are getting to be more than I can remember, but let's see... 1 + 2 + 3 = 24 [2] The letter 'i' doesn't work on the default keyboard. [6] $550 to repair the back glass, breaks on first drop [4] Faster Geekbench, but slower real world usage than Note 8 [5] Dropped fingerprint scanner because OLED [1] Dropped face recognition accuracy because of supply issues [3] Screen burn/color shifting because of OLED [7] The camera bump and screen notch seem almost like forgetable fashion fumbles with all these issues. We are nearly to a Letterman top 10 list with iPhone X issues. I'm sure Samsung's ad dept will make lots of hay with this stuff.

I guess everyone feels job security with Tim Cook around. TC usually defends huge mistakes like these.

1. 1 + 2 + 3 does not = 24 on an iPhone. Rather, 1 + 23 = 24. Already fixed in upcoming iOS release. 2. This doesn't affect anyone I know, but I do see it in the Apple subreddit from time to time. Not as widespread as you may think. 3. Expensive things have a high cost of repair. Go check how much the windshield costs on a Tesla to replace. 4. Twice as fast Geekbench. The "real world" usage is switching between every app rapidly. Hardly "real world". Go time exporting a 4K 60 FPS video after editing. 5. TouchID had a 1 in 50,000 false positive rate. FaceID is 1 in 1,000,000. Seems like an upgrade to me. 6. Your link points to an article saying that is absolutely not true. 7. Just like every other Samsung OLED panel.

  Starting apps is hardly a performance test, since a lot of the apps that are started actually seem to be loading network data before they display anything. So it seems to be indicating that the Note 8 outperforms the X on his network. What would be interesting to investigate for somebody that likes to do a benchmark is how the download speeds are. Apple capped it's Qualcomm chips and Intel is just slower at the moment.

    As someone who has worked on dozens of major corporate apps on the App Store I can assure you that the first point is flat out wrong. You always display something immediately (usually with placeholder images) and then make the network call. In fact on OSX you are asked (and strongly encouraged by Apple) to supply a startup image which is displayed whilst the app is still loading.

      Obviously it's timed when actual content is on the screen.

      As someone who has released dozens of apps in the App Store as well as someone who actually watched the video I am quite convinced that the reviewer always timed the moment the content was loaded, not when the empty state of the first screen was first loaded.

  Weakly refute the list instead of adding to it as requested. Why even reply?

    What's the point? The majority of your posts are anti-Apple, so it seems like you've already made up your mind. If you insist though, I'm more than willing to add.
