iPhone X iPhone X Complaint/Things We Don't Like Thread

I had this problem with a previous iPhone. Don’t remember the model. It eventually went away. I think it was glue settling due to the recent production of them or something like that. But it’s under warranty. Take it to an Apple Store.
For the record, I love this thread because after the X was announced, I bailed on Apple and bought a Note 8. Have been having FOMO today with everyone excited over their shiny new iPhones and I love reading what people don’t like. Haha. Makes me feel better.
Still love my Note. Just love new tech and missing out on being a part of this one.
The fact that you couldn’t tell my post was completely trolling, is the real crime
These kinds of things are to be expected with a new design... it's different, and will take some "getting used to"... I see this stuff as "growing pains".
I don't disagree. Amy post is not necessarily reference to the OP, it's just in general for those who intentionally want to find fault with something because they are not satisfied with the purchase or they feel guilty for spending too much money.
Well, the fact that you couldn't tell that my quoting, and responding as I did to your post was basically a humorous way of illustrating the general mindset of some, at times very vocal "contributors" on this very forum ramps up the crime scale even further. We should all be arrested for even being here, but what are you going to do.
The 'ears' are too small to accommodate that along with the other information that Apple chose to put there...
Well it’s obviously still used for ringer/notification vibrations. It’s still used for 3D Touch. It’s used sometimes on interface things like scrolling through a wheel of options. And it makes a terribly weak whimper of a vibration when you invoke the new multitasking gesture.
But the home gesture really needed a new “feel” to replace the satisfaction of the old button click.
Another confusing design choice is the time being in the left “ear” even though all digital watch faces on the Apple Watch place the time on the top right. When you are using an app on the Watch, the time is even further into the top right.
So now I’ve got to train my brain to look top left on my phone, centered on lock screen, top right on my Watch.

Totally agree. Landscape blows hard. I am hating the iPhone X in landscape mode. Look at these screenshots of my phone. Top user interface elements are literally pressing against the edge and it doesn't look good. Also, no special iOS landscape mode like on the old Plus phones (e.g., no tabbed browsing, no extra content in Apps like Mail). Look how little content area there is in Mail and how stretched and flat the keys are on the keyboard! Horrible.
Calendar. It actually looks really bad on the iPhone X as the top elements are right against the edge.
Notes. You can see the top interface elements are right up against the edge.
Email. Again, top user interface elements up against the edge. Hardly any content area, and a stretched out and flattened keyboard.

I wish you could configure what was displayed in the menu bar. Time, for me, is a construct. But i’d Love to see how many idle builders I have in Clash Of Clans.
And I was surprised at how big it was. I knew by the measurements that it was slightly bigger than the 7, but it feels more bigger than I expected. Not unwieldy, but definitely heading that way.
That’s a really, really great observation.
I love the continuity with the side button and invoking Apple Pay now. But discontinuities in the UI like this are annoying.
I think I was expecting something it is not. I wanted more of a six inch edge to edge display. But I’m slowly getting used to mine.
Want the battery percentage back where it was.
I had a 7 Plus and now the X. I am thrilled with the phone .. love it .. but I cannot type a single word without a mistake. The keys are so small. I don't know if it is due the 7 Plus vs. X or if it is just an "X thing". But typing correctly is difficult. I need to use the predictive text more ...
That Big, vertical camera bump
although it's now concealed with Apple leather case.but still I absolutely hate that, it kinda ruined the design of the phone and looks so out of places like it's a part from a different device.just bad.
Also lack of battery percentage..
And the battery life is not good (but I need more time to comment on that)
