TouchID unlocks in my pocket. FaceID, I need to stare at my phone swipe it and then wait a quarter second before it unlocks. It also has problems if you keep it on the table and need to unlock the phone. When in a meeting, it's not as conspicuous as TouchID. I need to take it out and stare at it.
Some reviewers are saying it's a huge difference. Some are saying it's not.
Yes indeed because when I look at my phone it's already unlocked. How cool is that!
The bolder also applies to Touch ID if it doesn’t register your fingerprint. But reviews are stating using a phone with faceid is faster than Touch ID..,think Apple Pay.
Which is why it would have been better if both of them were there. I think both complement each other. When your fingers are wet and greasy, FaceID is better. If you just want a quick painless had inconspicuous unlock TouchID is better. If your phone is lying flat on a surface TouchID is better. When you have your hands full FaceID is better. Not one of them is definitively better in all aspects than the other.
Which reviews say it's faster than TouchID? Post the links here. The consensus seemed to be it's faster than TouchID Gen 1 but not as good as Gen 2.
Touch ID is gone and not coming back. From a technology perspective I don’t care as long as it works better in the aggregate. Makes the note look comical.
He didn't even need an hour.
Okay feenician you win. I actually went to take a look at the phone today. Phone's screen wasn't really all that better than the 7 Plus I have right now. Seemed kinda underwhelming. The blue tint is indeed there at the slightest shift and overall I came away unimpressed.
Look at it with the screen flat in front of your eyes. Anyway this debate is meaningless as in the case of the X the slightest shift tints it up. The below pic is taken by me with a slight shift. In real life the entire bottom half tints blue if I turn it sideways or tilt it some more. It's just better than the Pixel but not by much.
Not even with the screen flat. However my take in all of this if one seeks imperfection in life they will find it.Look at it with the screen flat in front of your eyes.

I will find out about the FaceID thing when I get my phone. Many reviews say the iris scanner on the Note 8 works perfectly yet I know thats not true. I think FaceID will be between Gen 1 and Gen 2 TouchID in speed but just wont be as responsive as the fps . I have seen hands on videos and there is a quarter second lag which is not there with TouchID which is expected as its a mature upgrade.
It will be $1100(excluding cases,screen protectors and wireless charging) for the 6.4 model next year! And that’s just the 64GB model! Don’t forget about that inevitable iPhone Pro compatible with Apple Pencil in the future to compete with the Note. $1300 base excluding the Pencil
No one knows. Apple is so desperately trying to squeeze every single bit they can to being even more bloated. Bad Apple.
When I played with it I immediately learnt the gestures. In fact they seemed to come to me naturally even more than the home button. The display is too small though, didn't like that. Effectively I think its a 5.1 inch screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio
It‘s 0.5 sec and it waits in case you double-press it for a smoother Multitasking animation...so that‘s not a bug if you ask me.
Surely, one user experience is not representative at all. However, Apple is surely doubling down the price in an attempt to earn way more than they even deserve.
Thats true. The store I visited, there were like 2-4 people at the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus counter. There was a crowd around the X. Sadly I think the X is going to end up a runaway success and $1200 for the Plus next year is a given. I really dont understand why the 8 exists. We have to choose between a bezelled monstrosity and an overpriced smaller phone.
And neither are best choices.
iPad Pro 12.9 2017 didn’t have any stuttering on iOS 10. iOS 11 does remind me of Android Lollipop though.
