  • "Face recognition is not more secure than a passcode.  Give me your iPhoneX with face recognition, I'll break it in less than 24 hrs.  3 photos of you off facebook, some software and a 3d printer and I'll have a full scale model of your head before you know it.  And thats just the most elaborate hack I can think of.  I'll I'd really have to do is pickpocket you and point the phone at your face before without making a scene of it before I disappear.  Or with the increase in VR maybe one day I'll find a VR recording of you and use that to get in.  Meanwhile ill give you my phone with a six digit passcode and you tell me when you get in.  I'll give you a hint, theres exactly 1 million possible code permutations "

  • "The notch doesn't bother me and neither does the lack of the home button.  But the blatant disregard for durability and as Rain put it obvious technological fetishism at the expense of long term real world user experience are complete game breakers and should be condemned as the wretched examples of profit centric design over user centric design that they are.  There is absolutely no point to all these borderless screen phones but to increase profits from repairs.  By the third day of owning such a phone the novelty has worn off and you just wish you could put your phone down upside down sometimes, or feel the edge of the screen without looking, or...you know... hold it.  Why can't we just have like a 2mm bezel around the screen.  It would save like 50-70% of screen cracks by preventing the screen from hitting the ground and giving you a nice rim to grip so you'll drop it less often.  Does that tiny increase in screen space justify a significant increase in breakage rate and unwieldiness?The borderless screen and no bezel means I'll never buy this phone.  The lack of a headphone jack means I'll never buy this phone.  That they made the back of the phone glass that breaks just as easily as the screen means I'll never buy this phone.  That the glass covering the face recognition cameras is not separated from the rest of the screen and breaking it can cause the face recognition to fail (although I would absolutely never use it because a pin you store in your mind will always be the most secure authentication method) and lock me out means I'll never buy this phone.   And don't you dare tell me to buy a case.  I'm not going to drop $60 more dollars just so my $1000 dollar glass slipper can survive a trip to the nightclub.  Besides 90% of cases are horrible and the well designed and made ones like otter-box or life proof are expensive, thick and unattractive.The design of the iPhoneX reeks of arrogance and greed and catering to the blogger elite rather than the average consumer.  It's a lot like Paris Hilton, just collection of terrible ideas, wrapped in a sexy skin, that acts like like its the queen of life the universe and everything, just tastelessly throwing money around cause it lacks any defined purpose or role beyond being a status purchase for rich young morons."

  • " I can see a problem with this.  Tapping your nails is a desired feature of hard nails for many women.  Could there be a way you could make them both soft on skin and capable of providing a sharp tap."

  • "A steering wheel is far superior to either a joystick or a slider for operating a car.  It provides much more dexterity, precision, and most importantly feedback than either of your suggestions. and is far easier to operate precisely in rough conditions and panic situations.   Not to mention it provides a secure place to hold on to during an accident."
