Miss touch id. I have problems with face id when I'm lying on the bed. Tried many many times but still cannot unlock. So it is quite troublesome in my opinion. So far touch id on dbs app also not working.

Screen size is okay although takes a while to get used to the seemingly smaller screen. Haa 😂

I don’t miss Touch ID. Face ID is great, can’t wait for it to be on iPads and the rest of the line up.

If you have an iPad with True Tone, the feature is finally here.
I think it’s a feature which, when you have it you don’t really notice it. But when it’s taken away from you, you are like wow. The screen is so... off (?).

The screen is beautiful.

Performance wise, well. I think the review sites have been repeating themselves so I suppose I’ll not cover it.

One thing I would miss is the ability to swipe away apps, instead of holding to tap on the "X" to close the app on the app switcher. :s22:

Who knows they might bring it back in future patches. I agree on the hold and X to close is slightly annoying, but not unbearable.

1) Battery gets hot easily especially when using true depth camera
2) screen is bigger but app occupies a much smaller space
3) Face ID doesn't work sideways
4) lots of apps not optimised

Other den that, it's quite a good phone

I think it's slower to close one or two apps but if you have 5 or more, it's way faster this way without having to swipe although you have the option to.

Best in class OLED screen. Fastest phone in the market. Highest screen to bezel ratio. You cannot ask for more for now.

Face ID doesn’t work horizontally (Gen 2 maybe). Apps are developer responsibilities to update. Bigger screen but iPhone X is using non-plus UI. Wait for the X Plus next year for Plus interface.

Yah, I missed Touch ID and bigger screen on my iPhone 7plus. Face ID can’t work when phone is horizontal or tilted. The Apple demo video show the girl face is from an angle to the phone but it actually won’t work. Need to be infont of the camera or only slightly slanted. Need more optimization for Face ID.

The screen size! I missed it most. All games that I play become so tiny now! Surf net screen also smaller.

The phone size is smaller and easier for me to hold also. Non plus user will like the upgrade but plus user will likely find mixed feelings.

Got the phone on Friday, slowly getting use to it. But overall, I probably will get over with Touch ID but definitely gonna miss the screen size.
Looking forward to iPhone XI plus!

Wanna trade it off for a iPhone 8 Plus. Screen really too small. Keyboard feels cramped too

Did not miss Touch ID at all!

Face ID was a god sent to me as I have sweaty palms and always have issues with Touch ID.

I think it is a good phone but not 1880 good. I miss my Plus bigger (usable) screen. The X reminds me when I went 4S to 5, just taller, not bigger. A lot of comprises for such an expensive phone.

The letterboxing and narrow-ness is getting on my nerves already. When using my Plus, even many old apps not updated to 16:9 after years. Now the cycle repeats for app devs to update to the taller aspect ratio.
