Some iPhone X owners report mystery green lines appearing on displays
Most early adopters know what they're signing up for. Most. When the "Giant iPod Touch" appeared in 2010, most iOS apps were optimized for the iPhone screen. That era quickly passed.steinm88299 said: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.

The problem with social media and the internet is that everything is magnified a thousand fold. Even if a dozen people have this issue, out of MILLIONS, everyone one of these stories is shared infinitely to millions of people, on thousands of sites and countless comments, and suddenly this infinitesimal small number starts to seem like half the units.

Vietnamese firm trips up iPhone X's Face ID with elaborate mask & makeup
Ain't you ever seen Mission: Impossible? That's not a movie, it's a documentary. /sslurpy said:"The security firm, Bkav, claims this proves facial recognition is "not mature enough" for either smartphones or computers, having previously bypassed safeguards on some laptops. " So if someone steals my phone, and they just happen to have a 3D model of my face as well as a high resolution photo that they can overlay on top of it on order to construct a 3D model that is close enough to be able to trick Face ID, they might be able to get into my phone? Give me a fucking break. "Not mature enough" my ass. The scenario they're depicting is unlikely to happen even once for any of the hundreds of millions of users that will own this phone.
