Happy with my 7+ just now, won't be going out my way to purchase the X until my contract is due for renewal. Will be picking up the watch though.

Quite like the FaceID thing, but again, the price hike is a bit steep just for something that scans your pus every time you need to use it.

Bog water shouldn't phase the 7+.

FaceID is a sham. Snake oil. Basically like presenting Hamilton up as our #1 keeper when he's shite and wearing #13. We're no daft.

FaceID is a shan solution to their issue with being unable to get TouchID to work, it's not a shiny new feature to be cheesed about. Imagine lying in your bed at night and having to unlock your phone by shining a bright screen in your face rather than just touching it with your finger. Got your phone lying on your desk and just want to unlock it? Get your face over it or pick it up. I'm sure it will be fine a lot of the time, like the lack of headphone jack, but as soon as you start noticing how inconvenient it is you'll start to resent it. If they gave it as an option alongside TouchID then fine, but removing the fingerprint scanner not out of choice then presenting the workaround as innovation is pretty disingenuous. Cunts will lap it up regardless mind.

Yeah not a fan of Face ID either, those anxious moments at a checkout when you're staring at your phone waiting for apple pay to unlock but it keeps failing and you look like a tit. Monty Ooh

but you're holding the phone with the thumb resting over the fucking phone. Monty Chuckle

As Rog outlined, there is a plethora of reasons why you don't want to put a device up to your mug to work it.

Yeah, it's more the runny number 2 that was in there with the water that bothers me.

Most people who have big enough hands to hold it with just one? At the moment my phone goes in my pocket upside down. I can grab it from my pocket whilst unlocking it at the same time. If it's lying on my desk I can just tap the home button and it's open and unlocked. Can't do either of those things with the innovation that is FaceID. Why would they not include both? And if it's the future, why is it not in the iPhone 8?

Answer? Apple didn't want it like it is but they're pretending they did and you're lapping it up.

I'm with Rog, TouchID works perfect for me FaceID just seems inconvenient, not sure where the demand was to introduce it other than to work round something else

Unless you are unfortunate enough to have no hands, or have had your fingerprints sliced off so you can be a master criminal or make repeated claims for asylum, then I don't see the need for face ID.

Apple pay, you can currently pay with touch ID, same with the app store and itunes, instead you need to hold phone on the card machine and hover your face over it? Monty Ha

What if your phone is on your desk at work, and you just want to have a brief glance at it? Picking it up so that it can scan your face (as opposed to just touching the button with your index finger) is worse than the holocaust tbqh.

do you not look at your screen at all when using Apple Pay?

You should obviously be working if you're trying to sneak a look at your phone with your rank wee fingers.
