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?

1. Is not fixed on 11.1. Edit: Please be clear it still is upcoming, and not 'had been upcoming when the bug was publicised'; so a simple big in a calculator app takes them exactly 2 releases to fix.

  It's fixed in 11.2 beta.

7. was easily avoidable--just don't use an OLED panel. OLED is a flawed technology and it is really disappointing to see Apple switch to it.
