The truth for me having had a X for a few weeks is that Face ID is great, just as good (possibly better) than Touch ID. I returned to the 8 because I couldn’t stand the PWM screen flicker, not because of Face ID.
I understand, you won’t answer my question until I answer yours. Ok, then.
As far as the tech reviews, you found one that agrees with you, there Face ID isn’t good. And it can’t be that Apple implemented something most people who bought the iPhone x like. It has to be because Apple fans are “blinded” by logo. Ok, then.
You are welcome.
You asked to back a statement, it was done.
Unfortunately, the linked articles in your post prove nothing. Some extracts from them:
"Paul-Olivier Dehaye, who runs the PersonalData.IO website from Switzerland, gives Apple generally good marks for its approach to privacy. "By keeping everything on the device, their incentives are better," Dehaye says."
"As insightful as it was, Apple's treasure trove of my personal data is a drop in the ocean to what social networks or search giants have on me, because Apple is primarily a hardware maker and not ad-driven, like Facebook and Google, which use your data to pitch you ads."
P.S.: The study I linked is worth reading, btw.
Basically confirms what we all knew. Apple collects data to move through the ecosystem, which some of you can stop dead in its’ tracks. As opposed to presenting irrelevant ads for birth control or weight loss.
I’m sorry but what android use is still not anymore secure as it was previously
Which is the Whole point. Face ID is very secure and works well for most people.
I fail to see how it’s still dated. There’s no feature on android that you don’t have on the iPhone now. Apart from spilt screen multitasking but to me it’s rather pointless on smaller phone screens. Far better suited to tablets.
There are tons of features on Android that the iPhone does not have. Someone else already answered that here I believe towards you.
Not really. I don’t really class adding different home screens as a major feature either. It has a more based file system but that’s about it.
I’m talking features that most people use..nobody using an iPhone is missing anybody worth mentioning feature wise from android.
Whatever man, I know for a fact the list that someone gave you which was two pages long, was major features. You can continue to be blinded, that is fine. I am not going to be the one to put you in your place. Someone else can do that.
The post.
Why do you prefer ios over android?
Not seen any such list and it’s fine if you like to be blinded by android love that’s fine. Android make great phones so it’s a never ending battle. It’s more about preference. This isn’t what sports team is better but one thing that can’t be denied people clearly love iPhones more than android devices so millions and millions more buy iPhones as they think they are better devices.

Not many given the amount of promotions they are doing to get people to even buy it.
Impressive device though

I've owned more iPhones than Android. I get to use both. I know for a fact I am not biased for either like you are. And you clearly are wrong on one thing. They sell way more Androids than iPhones. LOL
This is the internet anybody can say they have used both and are not biased. You clearly are biased towards android. Doesn’t bother me but don’t lie and say you are objective.
Laugh. Look at my post history. You will see me discuss my iPhone X. You clearly are biased towards the iPhone and have been for along time as your history shows constant arguments towards those who think differently towards what you think.
And yes, I don't lie, but you sure do.
Could care less about your post history. I’m judging based on what’s on this thread and on here you are heavily biased towards android.
And since when have I even had consistent Arguments about those who use android? I have even said android make great phones but generally people would rather have iPhones for a reason
I’ve had
S4
S5
S6
S7 edge
Note 4
Note 5
So I’ve had more than my fair share of android. In fact more than I’ve had iPhones. So no your point isn’t valid
Oh my, cry will ya. Just because YOU don't agree with what I said, now I am biased. Grow up. You have had a ton of arguments just this past week. Anyone can see your post history. Ahh, so you have had nothing recent. My point is valid, don't try to make it not valid because you don't agree. lol
Cry? You’re the one here getting feelings hurt. We have a S8 and S8 plus in our house actually so I know what these phones are like recently actually.
Laugh, my feelings aren't hurt. You are the one calling me names because you don't like reality.
You've made it to my block list. Don't bother replying kid.
Reading this thread I sense that iPhone owners are generally happy with the iPhone and its software. Android owners on this thread are also happy but angry that not everybody is drawn by more features and assume this is because iPhone users are not smart.
To anybody stumbling across this thread for the first time, yes people really do insult each other over what mobile phone they use on the internet lol.

As both an iPhone and Android owner, I mostly feel compassion and empathy for the emerging class/caste system within the iphone consumer base. Where many can no longer afford the best technology and have to settle for old compromised phones. Given how much profit Apple makes they can sacrifice volume in exchange for margin at the expense of disappointed and envious loyal customers.
Spot on.
Seems some (not all ) defending Android can’t undetstand why we prefer iOS over Android, is to validate thier own purchase when they are not as confident as we are with ours.
You don’t see me trolling Android Police forums when Android owners prefer Android over Apple.
You feel compassion and empathy for people who spend hundreds on iPhones just because they might not be the latest model? lol.
I think you’ll find there’s a growing number of people who do that through choice rather than it being a case of affording it or not. Phones are so capable these days and the latest iPhone is not necessarily needed by everyone.
Yes but let's be candid, us Brits aren't the most discerning of consumers are we. Well certainly not the younger ones amongst us who will basically buy anything that has a so called designer label no matter what the quality.
Seems like that could be good for Apple is what you’re saying. Quality is subjective definition though.
