iOS 11 does its best to stay locked if it thinks you are driving, so hopefully they've thought of this.

yeh, im sure there will be "passenger" mode

 

[Wet Bloodfart]

$1999 starting price lol

wut

 

[cws]

This really reminds me of some of the past Wii era Nintendo conferences when you could feel that they would just bring up every shitty idea and try to hype it up as the next big thing...no matter how silly xD

 

[Primus]

Hoping for not a repeat of the Better Off Ted episode "Racial Sensitivity" wrt FaceID.

 

[DoubleYou]

another thought, this makes hacking into your spouses phone even easier. just wait fro them to go to sleep and scan their face while they sleep, hahahahahah

Eyes have to be open though

 

[Brinbe]

And ppl will still buy this shit up hahaha

 

[sangreal]

Depends.

This is wider than 16:9, right, but thanks to OLED and it's perfect black levels any black bars on the left and right should blend right into the frame (at least the black model).

It should still look OK unless you stretch it or zoom to fill the display.

The stock player he showed at least had the bezel covering the image instead of a black bar

Doesn't work on closed eyes

 

[shadow_shogun]

Poop

plop plop muthafukker!

 

[robotrock]

god this guy gives the worst fucking quotes after each picture

 

[ASIS]

I haven't been excited for a phone since iPhone 4. can't wait!

 

[VeeP]

some ms exec is screaming into a bag right now angry that windows hello didn't do jack shit for windows phone

I used Windows Hello on Surface products and it really is impressive tech. Glad iPhone seems to be doing something similar. I'll always miss TouchID tho.

 

[capslock]

Why is faceID unlock better than touchID unlock? I literally don't see any upside to it.

It's not. The Apple way recently is to introduce solutions searching for a problem: ie 3D touch, face unlock, etc. They could have just avoided all this with the touch id placed on the back or side.

 

[Scully Scully Scoo]

that emoji thing looks good for kids. i can't get over the top bezel, it is that bad. camera looks dope

 

[MThanded]

Doesn't work like that. You need to open your eyes or direct attention to it.

 

[a916]

Yep. When I had my Galaxy Nexus, I was hyped as hell for facial unlocking until I realized I was too dark for it to ever work.

I don't know about the Nexus, but this is rumored to have infrared, shouldn't that cancel out any issue at in the dark?

 

[serenewarfare]

this phone is gonna be so much better next year once they get touchID under the screen and learn from all the mistakes this one has

If people take to Face ID and it works as advertised, they're not going to put in the effort to go back.

 

[Martinski43]

Im not feeling a 7 - X upgrade either. Lackluster presentation too.

 

[oti]

Will you hand your kids a 1000 dollar phone though

I wouldn't even buy a 1k phone to begin with. But can't you send these to your kids or something? Or just play around with it.

But yes, it's hilarious this is their show case for such an expensive phone.

 

[Shambala]

wut

Lmao jk

 

[MugiwaraCole]

Just came at my work desk, thanks for that.

 

[D4Danger]

Ehh......

when you run out of time and ship programmer art

 

[civilstrife]

So is this thing actually called iPhone 10?

 

[Quonny]

this is the dumbest shit I have ever seen but I just got a text from my wife, my sister and my mom and they all said DID YOU SEE THE NEW animated emoji thing?

Yep. Like I said, I'm going to get like 10 of these a day from my family. Doesn't matter how dumb I think they are or how many times I ignore them.

 

[Windle Poons]

Apple stock is tanking. lmao

It will when they announce the price.

 

[DJ88]

A nearly one trillion dollar company demoing animated poop emoji's during the reveal of their 1000 dollar smartphone. Apple what are you doing

The tunnel vision is astounding

We're not the target audience. Their target audience will eat animoji up.

this is the dumbest shit I have ever seen but I just got a text from my wife, my sister and my mom and they all said DID YOU SEE THE NEW animated emoji thing?

Case in point.

 

[Yoshichan]

Ehh......

where the fuck is my night shift????

 

[Dabanton]

Will you hand your kids a 1000 dollar phone though

Some idiots will.

 

[Measley]

who the fuck will want an iPhone 8 lol

Im fucking amazed that Apple had the balls to keep the same design for the 8 as they had for the 7. I'm glad I bought my Galaxy 8+ instead of waiting fir this.

 

[bastardly]

Doesn't work on closed eyes

dammit, oh well

 

[HardRojo]

Digging Animoji, but not a big fan of TouchID going bye-bye.

 

[(mat)]

This whole swiping down to the home menu thing bugs me. Am I not able to swipe down in any other apps then? Can I not scroll through messages quickly? Can I close photos quickly in Facebook? What's the deal there?

 

[DOWN]

There’s no chance this camera is worse than 8+ camera right?

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Ehh......

Gross.

 

[steve9842016]

I think I'll stick with my 7+......

TouchID works so unbelievably fast and quick, in any position (i.e while not having to look at it).

Having to look at your phone and then swipe up on the screen just to unlock is a step backwards.

 

[Sinfamy]

That looks hideous, Apple really loves stroking their own shaft.

 

[Plum]

That game's HUD is being covered by the bit at the top. lol.

 

[The Elite]

The bar at the top doesn't bother me at all.

 

[UberTag]

Seems like the perfect use of cutting-edge technology to allow 12 year-olds to fuck around.

Lucky 12-year-olds. Being gifted thousand-dollar smartphones.
When I was 12, all I wanted was a new bike and a 2400 baud dial-up modem.

 

[Palette Swap]

Ehh......

Gotta love how it's cramped, busy and doesn't make use of all that estate.

 

[ekim]

Hint: It's not.

Rumor has it they didn't get the Touch ID into the screen so this is kind of their backup plan

 

[Nevasleep]

some ms exec is screaming into a bag right now angry that windows hello didn't do jack shit for windows phone

Next Windows 10 update is going to have animojis everywhere. OH HAI YOU WANT TO LOGON, IM A FOX

 

[Certinty]

What the f***. For games, videos etc the top bar bit cuts off part of the screen.

 

[jimmypython]

i don't like the video plays with a cutout on the top/side

 

[Kurdel]

where the fuck is my night shift????

You 3D touch the brightness bar to make it appear.

 

[nitronite]

That's not what happened. The failure wasn't because of the Face ID not working.

That's what a lot of media outlets will write, though. 'Face ID doesn't work on first try!', etc.

From The Guardian's live blog:
Oh dear, Face ID fails first try in Craig Federighi’s demo. That… doesn’t bode well. Still, the rest of the demo looks impressive enough, and it is a very pretty full-screen phone.

 

[FullMetalx117]

And ppl will still buy this shit up hahaha

Yup my entire family of 4 will probably buy one. The 256gb version whenever its announced

 

[jwk94]

I don't know about the Nexus, but this is rumored to have infrared, shouldn't that cancel out any issue at in the dark?

I honestly have no clue. From what another poster said, it seems like the infrared will make a difference.

 

[nhlducks35]

where the fuck is my night shift????

3D touch the brighness bar and it's on the bottom

 

[Nazgul_Hunter]

Gotta love how it's cramped, busy and doesn't make use of all that estate.

The bottom is customizeable; that's just the default.
