Everything about the iPhone X

[manofsorrows]

With the pixel 2 plus in the market, maybe will take away some diversion going to the pixel instead.

you mean it just unlocks and stays at the lock screen ? that would be just like waking the screen, right ? you can already see the notifications when the screen is awake..

It is like you are still chatting with person A and you lock your iPhone. You would want to reply to that person later on (as you’re currently busy on something).

Then person A continues to reply or sends you messages. You’ve read the messages but you want to reply later.

Imagine if you Raise to wake the device, and Face ID automatically unlocks, you will be brought straight to the chat. (And person A sees that you have already read the messages)

So the additional step to swipe is a confirmation that you wants to unlock your iPhone. It will be the same as you raise to wake but your finger isn’t on the Touch ID, as you didn’t want to unlock your iPhone yet.

I'm sure, I hope, there will be an accessibility option to unlock straight to home screen.

Tap the screen, the screen will light up. Look at the iPhone for Face ID.

Swipe up.

I’m not so sure Face ID will work if it’s in landscape mode.

Hopefully Face ID can work even if there is no direct eye contact especially when driving.

Why would you wanna unlock the phone if you have no intention of looking at it??

Driving leh. Keep your eyes on the road.
Else get car play unit and set Siri to read out messages.
Drive safe

Well, technically swipe up is to go from notifications screen to home screen (or whichever app is still open).

Once you raise the iPhone X, FaceID will start trying to unlock. If you don't swipe, it will still unlock through FaceID. This can be seen from the lock icon going from locked state to unlocked state even before swiping.

And this is not to say you cannot swipe before FaceID has unlocked the phone, you can actually do that while FaceID is unlocking. Then, once FaceID has unlocked the phone, the phone already knows you are trying to get to the home screen and it will pull the notifications screen away.

TLDR: Swipe as per normal even while unlocking, it's seamless.

I think the unlocking with code is still there...

If I ask friend to get iPhone X from US and bring back to SG, would this set be usable here? And if I don't like it after using a few days, would selling it away incur substantial loss?

it's not constantly scanning.. the screen need to be awake, you should look at the phone and swipe up..

in samsung, the screen needs to be awake and you just need to look, no swipe required..

But this video also shows u need to bring the phone up to a certain level to unlock. I guess u can't really unlock ur phone below the table now. No phone in meeting/classroom anymore

hmm.. can't say for sure with this video.. may be the guy really didnt know how to use it.. looks like he was expecting it to unlock without the swipe up, so he kept shifting it closer to the face.. it'll be a pain in the a$$ if you have to bring it upto the face to unlock, I normally finger print unlock and hold the phone hip level (while standing, walking etc).. i believe apple technology should be much better and won't have to bring the phone right upto the face to unlock..

Yes you can. Just need to tap to wake and glance at the phone

2 pairs of hands. I suppose 1 is Apple staff one is the random stranger. Random stranger recorded his own face. At no point are they testing the raise to wake. They press power button. I assumed he is looking at the screen when he is trying to unlock the phone but failed. The lock icon didn't get unlock at all. Den the Apple staff took over and put at that angle.

Anyway, can only know for sure when it's launched

Actually the screen is quite small even though stated 5.8 inch as its tall and narrow. Compare the area it's only 80% of iphone 8 plus
