Everything about the iPhone X

[ragnarok95]

Not sure if this was asked previously, it is possible to add location services in the Control Center? if yes, how i do it? Do not see this option in Settings > Control Center

I don't think can.

Both your iPhones need to be on the same OS version.

1) pls update ur old iPhone to IOS 11.1, back up with iTunes.
2) update your iPhone X to IOS 11.1.
3) restore iPhone X with the backup of your old iPhone.

I had this issue when I got my phone on 3rd Nov. Old iPhone 6s was on 11.0.3, which was backed up on my iMac. iPhone X was on 11.0.1. I tried to restore and it gave me errors. Ended up, I updated my old 6s to 11.1 (including all the apps updates), backed up again using iTunes. Then I update my iPhone X to 11.1 as well. Then I restored the backup of my 6s into the X.

HTH

Sekali next apple will do a iris id. Use eyes to unlock like our ICA. LOL

meow meow HardwareZone Forums app

I wonder how troublesome is it for people who wear spectacles. And for sunglasses, I don't think Iris scanner is going to work.

Well, i love face ID more than touch ID.

Only complain which is, if my phone on table and try to unlock, it fails. LOL

Yeah, the unlock fails when the phone is on the table. Kind of a bummer.

Ok so my phone is finally ready. Restored from IP6s+ & iOS is updated to 11.1.

My 2 pesos from using the phone for barely 10 mins. Face ID is DAMN fast. Screw the Tom's Hardware Guide reviewer who b*tched about it supposedly taking 1.8 secs compared to Touch ID which supposedly took 0.9 secs. No normal person with a life would go around timing it like he does. Fact is, based on a normal person's day to day usage, it is fast.

I had tried using Note 7's retina scanner before and it took forever and yet could not recognise my eye balls. So yes, in comparison, Face ID works and is fast.

Put the phone on my subwoofer and looked down on it and it could recognise my face. Very low light condition too, gonna rain any moment and I purposely turned off my living room lights. Recognition was just as fast as if I have the lights turned on and the phone right in front of my face. Haters will be hater but let's face it, Face ID works lah.

As for the issue about twins, as you can see on Youtube, for every video showing Face ID working on both twins, there is a video showing Face ID works with only one twin. Anyway, seriously how many people here complaining about the twins issue actually have identical twins? Most I am sure, are just b*tching for the sake of b*tching.

Black notch? Barely noticed it. Like I said, I've only been using it for 10 mins now so I may have different views in a few days time esp if I start using apps that are not optimised for IPX, but as of now, I seriously almost did not notice the notch.

If you are going to take a ruler and measure mm by mm, yes viewable area on 8+ is larger than IPX, nothing new, mentioned before. But if you just enjoy it as it is, to me, the slightly smaller viewable area is really no biggie. Again, that's just me. Others may fuss over 1 mm less viewable area so to each his own.

What I appreciate is that its smaller than my IP6S+ and fits into my tight jeans pocket. With my previous phone it was always either jutting out of my pocket or poking into my hip. And it was impossible to remove from my jeans pocket without standing up. No issues with IPX. If that means sacrificing a teeny weeny bit of screen real estate, I'm fine with that.

Now the litmus test is the battery. 10.3.2 was the last OS on my IP6S+ which was ok. 10.3.3 killed the battery and there have been tons of threads here about how iOS 11 is even worse. So fingers crossed.

Thus far if I had to complain about something I guess it would be the fact that since the earphone port is gone and an adaptor is required, my earphones can no longer fit into the neat plastic box that the earphones came in. Or if I want to use that box, I'll need to keep the adaptor somewhere and hopefully not lose it. I guess Apple's whole idea is to make ppl buy their Ear Pods.

That plus the fact that I need that big brick of a 29W adaptor for fast charging. At home no issues but once at work its a pain. Like most ppl I just plug into USB on the office PC and I'm expecting the charging to be slow as hell.

This review is spot on.

The Face ID, Gestures and the size of the phone in the pocket.

Those so called #androidalreadyusing features of Note 7 are more gimmicks than anything else. Have read the iris scanners, face recognition hardly work at all. So buyers are paying for features that fail 90% of the time. No doubt it is an absolutely beautiful looking device.

not fair to call them gimmicks.. i have an s8+, never setup the iris scanner so can't comment on that (mainly because there is no need for it when there is face rec and finger print scan, and also to scan iris one has to bring the phone up to the face and align with the scanner which is a pain). The face recog works well. It can't work in dark (works sometimes) and it's not as secure as the apple's implementation. But it need not be, since the finger print scanner will do the job in an easier way, and its about giving the options and letting the user chose what he wants.
And again it's a bit rich for apple to call other phones features as gimmicks anymore given that they are promoting even talking poop emoji as a feature

Just learnt this too, press the side button and either the top or bottom volume button together. It will show to either turn off or SOS call.

If you cancel, FaceID will be disabled and have to key your passcode to re-activate it.

Samsung face recognition is only able to recognize face while Face ID is able to recognize face and depth which is the key differentiation.

Did you see how animoji has taken off in twitter?
