Have this phone for a week. Need to decide if I am keeping it. FaceID is a pain in the rear. Most apps are not optimized for the notch so they are condensed. I realize app optimization will take time but $1200 with tax for this type of experience has been a bit of a bummer.

FaceID has worked really well for me. I was unsure if I’d like it but it’s turned out to be a pleasant surprise. I even get reliable recognition at an angle with the iPhone on the table while leaning over. As far as unoptimised apps, it really looks no different than if the apps were running on a non-iPhone X. Not ideal, but not any worse than another iPhone—the OLED makes the upper/lower spots actual black and so it mostly looks like it just has bezels.

More on topic, my iPhone X has an issue of white colour uniformity on the display (it’s whiter on the right side). I’m really sensitive to it—to my shame I went through about 16 returns over 3 months of the original iPad Air to get a decently uniform display! That was really bad though, not sure how most people didn’t notice it. I don’t want to go through that experience again and so I’ll try one return/exchange of this X to see if I can get a more uniform display.

Yeah why are they asking Apple to compensate them if its the batteries? It doesn't matter if it says anything on the outside of the box. The batteries exploded, plain and simple. It doesn't matter what they were in. If they can show that the headphones caused the batteries to explode thats a different story, but if its just simply the batteries themselves that had fault you need to look to the battery manufacturer, not Apple. But like @SpamSandwich said, lawyers always go to the company with the most money. 

Exactly. I don't think Apple is saying she needs to use a specific battery but rather that it wasn't Apple's battery that exploded and she needs to direct her attention to who made the battery.
