From what we know, it is the dot projector that's the problem. Making such a tiny thing that throws 30 thousand dots out to about 2.5 feet, in perfect alignment, must be very difficult. If it's off by just a tiny amount, by the time it gets to your face, some dots could overlap others, which is an impossible situation.

but it's not a camera. The IR camera is a totally seperate part.

I said on AI before.  Tim Cook is adopting an immature technology.

Sounds like you don't like Tim Cook.  A more objective assessment would be that Apple Inc., for which Tim Cook is the chief executive, is adopting a cutting edge technology that will constrain production yields, at least initially.

So Apple should WAIT until others have it first? You know when it's mature? HAHA The fact is Apple acquired Primasense back in 2013. You know, the Company that made the Original Xbox Kinect. So that was 4 years ago. The Tech is ready NOW. The problem is making them in the Volume Apple needs as Apple will sell MILLIONS in no time flat. This isn't Google who can't even sell 2 million pixels in 1 year. Apple sold 5.5 million iPhone 8 and 8 Pluses the first weekend. The fact is the iPhone X I'm pretty sure is going to be in even higher demand. It's just going to take however long it takes. Next year iPhone XI or whatever Apple calls it, supply will be much better. Here I thought everyone is always bitching how Apple doesn't have cutting edge Tech, and waits for things to Mature. Man, you really can't win either way.

The FaceID is supplied by a French company Eldim.

If iPad Pro says at 264ppi, it worthless to me!

It's nice that the A11 outperforms the CPUs of other vendors, but the main question is: does it really matter?  I am using my iPhone 6s for calling, web browsing, emailing, checking my calendar, taking notes, paying, chatting, taking photos, checking bank account, playing music, checking public transport timetable.  And for none of these actions my iPhone 6s feels sluggish.   How impressive the A11 may be, I am not at all convinced that I will be more productive with a faster CPU.  
One might say that the A11 is needed for face recognition, but I fail to see the advantage of face recognition versus TouchID.  I am pretty sure ApplyPay with face recognition will be more cumbersome ans slower to use than the current ApplePay.  The fact that I have to turn the phone to my face is inherently slower than putting my finger on the home button.
