The review doesn't mention whether or not the Pro supports USB3. For those of us who actually USE the massive storage capacity now available on these things, the time required to transfer 100 gig or more of data becomes relevant to enjoyment of the device. My wife's 12.9 Pro transfers files so much faster than our other iDevices that I just can't get my head around how Apple stayed with USB2 on the new iPad!

Good point! Totally missed that.

It is not surprising that you'd get underexposed and crappy video from very high frame rate, people don't often consider how high speed photography requires much more light to look good. Basically only usable in noon sunlight without an extra lghting right.

The iPhone X does a much better job of maintaining proper exposure throughout its various frame rates.

I love it. 
FaceID is quite great.

But but...Samsung 3-D Emoji is better...

Android players of this game will have to understand that it wouldn’t have existed with the sweet, sweet iPhone X.

On the other hand, they can finally claim that they have some IPhone X technology on their phone.

Video on this coming tomorrow.

Nice comparison. Theoretically, Iris scanning should be more secure, but getting the level of Detail needed for security while simultaneously haven’t speed and convenience isn’t really practical for a smart phone right now. Maybe isn’t the future - who knows? I think Apple has done an admirable job with the iPhone X FaceID system.

BTW - whatever happened to that Vietnamese company Bkav (?)  that claimed to spoof FaceID? The released a couple videos that claimed to trick it with a mask but also seemed to be covering up steps in the process, making the claim suspect. SInce then I’ve seen and heard nothing, making me think their claim was a sham.

Even if their method worked, it required a literal mold of his face. I bet attention awareness was either turned off, or they placed the phone perfectly in front of the mask so the eyes were directed at the iPhone. No one is going to go through the trouble to kidnap someone, get a physical mold of their face, and use it to unlock the users iPhone with it. It would be more effective to torture that person into giving them the passcode before going that route.

Even then, the user wouldn't stand still enough for them to get a mold of their face unless they were put to sleep. Now once they have the mold, they better get it perfectly right within a couple of tries or else Face ID will be disabled until you enter the passcode. As you can see in Bkav's video, they added to and altered the mold near his nose. Unlocking an iPhone X using a mask is completely unrealistic. 

Impressive differences here.
