Now that we’ve had some time to let the iPhone announcement sink in, it’s time to have a look at what everyone thinks. As you’d expect, the reactions are mixed.
Apple announced three new smartphones during its presentation this morning, one of which is the iPhone X. Featuring wireless charging and a facial-tracking camera, the unit has been massively hyped for some time. Despite its $1,579 starting price tag, folks are absolutely frothing for it.

And some are amazed that the iPhone 8 was made obsolete in record time.
iPhones generally last 1 year before getting outdated, but iPhone 8 lasted for exactly 2 minutes before getting outdated.#AppleEvent

That being said, the iPhone X will also be the first mode to use facial recognition to unlock the device, and folks aren’t so sure about it.

Apple just tried to demo Face ID and it failed. Get ready for a lot of that

I’ll say it just once: FaceID is a terrible idea. Huge step back.

Fellas, don’t let her take selfies with your iPhone X. She’s really setting up Face ID for her access to your phone. Stay woke. #AppleEvent pic.twitter.com/Erdl3ELZVK

It’s still early days, but like anything Apple, we wouldn’t be surprised if this flies off the shelves regardless of criticism. While the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus will be available on September 22, the iPhone X is delayed until November 3.
