I took a closer look and I think you're right - I can see the outline of where the pillars join the ceiling, as well as smudges that wouldn't be there if it were really peeling. I stand corrected. Was fooled for a minute there though!

I picked up the device from O2 had an insane mix up with identification on the purchase, as the manager was ill-informed with the relegations and wanted passport documentation. Apart from the crazy security overload I've set up my Silver iPhone X with no hassle, seamless integration of the gestures and Face ID is insane
Yeah, the IR recorded footage was awesome in particular. Very reminiscent of the marketing material they used for Face ID, i was really surprised.
Someone help? Got my new phone. Set it up using my existing iPhone. Said it was restoring. Then error'd and said to pick a different backup. Picked one. Now that screen disappeared and it doesn't seem to be restoring at all. Any way to restore from a backup without formatting the phone again as I've installed iOS update etc.
I just picked up my phone.
This shit is beautiful and I actually like the notch.
Man it's the perfect size

At least with the new iOS it allows access to passwords on the keychain when on some app login screens. So much better than before.
New gestures have been easy to get used to and FaceID's been on point so far. Had no issues getting it to work, even when I haven't had my face directly into it. Side glances work just fine to unlock as well.
Getting used to the size drop from the 7 Plus, but no issues day one so far. :)

the 'swipe up halfway and pause' app switcher is a bit crappy. But the 'swipe left on the bottom bar' is fast becoming a favourite - I usually toggle between the last few apps rather than look for something I used earlier in the day (for that I'd just use search or have the icon at hand on the dock). So for bouncing between the last 2-3 apps its great.
Screen is really nice but anything think text when scrolling (flick the screen relatively quickly) is quite blurry / fuzzy?
Best iPhone ever . The screen . The feel
Face ID accuracy increase tip
Face ID has 2 rounds like Touch ID does to scan your face
In the first round hold the camera in front and scan
In the second round hold the camera at a very low angle under your face
It dramatically increases Face ID accuracy especially when the phone is under your face

I generally tend to stay away from first gen devices like this one. Refined version will be out next year.
Nice that you are all enjoying it though. You do you. :D
its narrower but taller
I think verge said it best when they said its more of a slightly larger 6/7/8 than a slightly smaller plus
it actually allows this in every app that uses the password entry field from UI kit. On top of that, if the app is registered to a website/company, it will automatically present you with the saved passwords from that site. So my bank app hitting the key in the app will bring up my bank's saved passwords automatically (for some reason on my phone, Touch ID doesn't work with my bank app, even though it works perfectly on my wife's phone. and ONLY with that app. every other app it works fine.. driving me nuts...)
even the apple watch doesn't support this despite having a mode you would think exists entirely for that purpose (nightstand mode)
You can disable auto-lock or use a 3rd party app to keep the screen on but in both cases you are obviously losing the lock
Man I forgot every Apple launch day brings out the worst in "people". Every review is great but the comments are poisoned with hate.
I get a kick out of most of them, lol
"The specs are garbage look at the Note 8!"
Then I show the benchmark with the iPhone X scoring double in both categories with half the specs.
Feels good, man.
Hope you all enjoy your phones today!!

I have a friend that does that... but then doesn't know what to say when I bring up benchmarks lol
Makes me sad. Hopefully Apple will see the error of their ways. Always on time + notification summary would be great. Although I'd trade it for an always on watch face (S3 battery life can easily handle a static, mono, low brightness time display. I don't need GPS or LTE streaming so let me use that battery for something useful to me)
There's one thing I'll miss when all the iPhones inevitabilty go to this design of the X. The white bezels. :(
kinect 2 was a time of flight camera, this is like the kinect 1 which uses a dot projector and measures the distortion. also similar to intel realsense
They really excel at that shit. Combining those production values with having great reviewers like Nilay and Dieter makes them my favourite tech site.
Figured it out. Had to update to 11.1, didn't know it was added afterwards.
This thing looks absolutely gorgeous, and feels sooo good in the hand. Nice solid dense feeling.
The only thing that would make this phone absolutely perfect would be the 120hz refresh rate from the iPad. Super sad it didn't make the cut. I can already notice the blurring of text when I scroll. Tiny nitpick though, I'm loving this thing coming from a 6
Damn, confirmed my fears about how much of an inconvenience the Face ID is compared to Touch ID. I guess I'll wait for next year's model and see if they find a way to bring back Touch ID.
One thing that's made it easier for me to use the app switcher is to pull the app from the middle to the side instead of pausing, kinda like in an arc. Feels way more smooth and intuitive than just waiting in the middle after you pull from the bottom.
It's never come back. They aren't going to find a way because they don't want to find a way.
Im not sure the left side "speaker" holes contain the microphone. I know the barometric vent is there to regulate differential air pressure since the phone is so water tight. The only reference to a microphone in iFixits tear down is actually in the upper speajer housing. But there could be one at the bottom too. Of course there is the rear mic as well.
