    Don’t really like how the screen has that gap at the top. Don’t like the vertically positioned lens on the back either.

    It's a good idea. Gives more screen and less bezel on top than rivals.

    Apps will blend it in as well

    Disagree entirely.

    Apps will put info at the side in the same colour.

    Also, its just different and people will get used to it.

    Face ID looks class.

    Think I’m sold on the 8 Plus though.

    so can your missus hold the phone up to your face while you are asleep, thus unlocking it and then peruse your whatsapp groups resplendent with amputee porn, madeleine mcann jokes and dick picks you've sent to Tracy from accounts..........

    He didn't mention how good it is at detecting, like do you have to look at it at a specific angle and distance? How long do you have to look for? The biggest annoyance with facial recognition is getting the angle right, fingerprints are much simpler to use.

    Doesn't work with eyes closed. Also nothing stopping someone using your finger whilst your asleep.

    By the looks of it, they've stuck the clock, battery info, wifi and network stuff into that on either side. Means more screen real-estate for actual apps.

    It's crazy how accurate the leaks were this year. Haven't seen anything yet that wasn't leaked.

    Can a pin be used instead of face id on iphone x? If so, how is it entered? Press power button?
