#12A non-conclusive list of places where this will be an issue:
China, Japan, S.E.A.: Surgical masks against smog, or to avoid spreading germs.
Northern Europe, Canada, Northern US: Winter clothing that covers the face to avoid the cold temperatures
Middle East: Religious clothing for women hiding their faces.
Anywhere with hot summers: Sunglasses covering the entire eyes, making it impossible to see if you’re looking at the screen (which is a requirement for FaceID unlock).

#13Let's just make sure we're talking about how it will actually work, not what we're guessing based on some tech blogs and today's presentation.

#14so instead of stealing your finger print it's now enough to get a picture?
You really didn't read the article did you. Second paragraph says "Apple says the facial scan is so accurate there’s now only a 1 in 1,000,000 chance of another random person’s face being able to unlock your phone. This is much better than the 1 in 50,000 error rate for Touch ID. And no, holding a photo up of someone can’t unlock their phone – nor can a Hollywood-grade face mask, which (shown below) were used by Apple’s engineering teams to train the feature."

#15Why'd Apple choose to make the iPhone X out of stainless steel? Titanium, for example, would be half the weight and much more interesting..
I think steel is easier to manufacture and more abundant.

Steel and aluminum is still cheaper and easier to work with than titanium. Easier manufacturing higher margins.
P.S. the iphone is made of aluminum not steel
