iPhone X Anyone else cringe when.....

[eyoungren]

But how many average iPhone consumers are aware of jailbreaking and that form of gesture controls? I would say it’s an extreme minority. In a sense of where the iPhone came from with the home button, gesture controls is the new facet for Apple in the sense of how to navigate the iPhone. So I think you’re comparing something that’s more a aftermarket modification versus something that’s widespread now in the iPhone X. But I have never jailbroken before either and I am willing to believe that specific industry has faded for the most part.

It may be a new thing to Apple, but just because Apple does it that does not make the idea or concept new.

A lot of people think that just because Apple releases a new feature they created it. Some times that is true. But most of the time Apple is just refining something that already exists - even if the introduction of that feature was poorly done the first time around.

As to jailbreaking fading - I don't disagree with you here. The semi-untethered jailbreaks have caused a lot of frustration and a lot of people who are less invested in jailbreaking have walked away.

Perhaps you’re on a different tangent. The form factor has nothing to do with the materials as you mentioned with the glass, but it is different, because it’s longer and more narrow, which we have not had this design from Apple with the form (Height/width) of the iPhone X before with any other model iPhone.

Apple changed the dimensions of the rectangle. They are using glass front and back. That's a borrow from the iPhone 4/4s. Sure the form factor (the dimensions of the rectangle) has changed, but that's like saying that since Hershey changed the dimensions of their candy bars their candy is brand new.

It isn’t? What other smart phone manufacturer are you aware of that uses 3-D facial mapping with a dot projector that uses 30,000 dots able to use biometric security to authenticate an exact depth of someone’s face?

None. But again, not my point. The idea is not new. Apple may have refined things and taken a different approach, but this is not a new feature.

My point in all this is that Apple didn't create these ideas or concepts. They may have refined them but refinement does not mean they came up with the idea.

I will agree that Apple sometimes will take features that are already available on the market and then they amend them in a way that does make them more user accessible and unique where it’s less cumbersome than what other companies attempted to do. That said, gesture controls do have a lot of potential with the iPhone and iPad.

In respect to where iPhone was for the past four generations of the same form factor, iPhone X is different no matter how you hold it. If feels different, it looks different, I think that’s mainly what I was indicating.

Just so you’re aware, Samsung’s facial recognition uses 2D mapping, which has been replicated by somebody using a photo to successfully unlock it. Face ID was the first to use 3-D facial mapping that cannot be hacked by a photo. Significant difference in security, No other smart for manufacture even incorporates the hardware that Face ID does with the sensors, camera and dot projector. These are two different types of security features with the technology Apple is utilizing.

I love my Apple products but I’ve used it twice and don’t plan on using it again

It’s a feature for kids or for adults to sent to kids...nothing more

I have yet to use animoji’s on my X. I think it’s neat technology but, I’m more interested in seeing the cameras future use of the tech.

I haven't bothered to explore how to create an animoji. Zero benefit to me.

I don’t view the animoji’s As a benefit, they simply a means of a form of fun expression. I don’t use them, but the technology is interesting.

Wow.

What?
What do you mean??
