Not true, thats not a problem at all because it doesn't do that.
It doesnt need to flash your face because it uses infrared.

Going to be ordering when available an X 256gb in Space Grey (From Apple). For sure it's a ludicrous amount of money and the Apple haters will say I'm daft! At least I can offset the cost by selling my 6S plus 128gb to reduce the cost. First course of action will be a decent case and a screen protector.
I mean when you compare it to others on paper...

It doesn't seem to be as good...

How do they arrive at the £1149 price tag ?
Even adding 20% vat to the US price it still only comes to £1037.

This is my thoughts.
256GB is overkill, 128GB would be the sweet spot and should have been the base storage to help justify that price.
I really thought Apple would go with 128GB and 256GB for the X.

I think Face ID will work, just like Kinect can sign me into X-Box when I am in front of it.
Agreed. 64GB is tight when you consider the price.
Often the case really, but the iPhone always works very well as a collective of high end hardware and software, if not bleeding edge.

Do the US not get the relevant tax added at checkout, dependant on their state? As each state has different tax % brackets in the US. Compared to us in the UK who just have a flat 20% VAT for the whole country...
Oops I got the impression from the presentation the models were using the phones display to assist in face ID.
HOWEVER we will have to wait for the reviews to see how it performs in real world conditions (the first demo doesn't give one huge confidence)
I have a feeling it is probably not going to gel as well as Touch ID for most people and will be a turnoff for many once they get them in their hands and start using it as their daily drivers.
We will see...
They know 128gb is perfect, that's why it's missing from the line up. It keeps the headline price low and the actual price high.
These prices are shocking but I guess it's their only way of getting people to buy an iPhone as a fashion accessory because standard iPhones are so common nowadays.
Do not want..

Ahh the iPhone X.. Apples Titan. wonder why it took them so long to turn the fleece mode up to 11.

Price was expected, the £1000 phone has been touted for a few years now.
The OLED screen is nice but not really needed on a phone imo, the S8 screen likely still looks better due to PPI.
Not bothered about facial recognition but the animated emojis would be fun for a bit.

Think it'll be the next gen for me. This is too pricey and my 7 Plus is probably fine for another year or so.

Will undoubtedly keep up with this thread, but I'll probably buy an X.... in 2019 or so

I love how apple phones still allow video capture at resolutions you can't watch on an apple phone

Your 7+ should be fine for another 2-3 years. I'm still running a 6+ which works fine and the 6 was basically a 5S with a better screen. Its well acknowledged that the 6 has a poor shelf life for its age.
