One thing to Apple PR credit is faceid. For me it's hot needle replacement for failed attempt to integrate touchid into display, but for most people it is innovation.
Please do explain why you don't view Face ID as an innovation over existing technology.

How enlightened to not belong to the "sheeple" merely by buying a competitive brand! /s
Maybe he doesn't buy a $800 Android ? And doesn't buy every new release ? There are new $200+ Android phones.
I have a cheap Xiaomi phone and it runs the same apps everyone else does.
My guess is that the expensive phones are bought primarily for their cameras. I'm not big into photography but I can see how that makes a stronger argument for the likes of the iPhone X and Note 8 etc.
As odd as the new design feels, Apple already owns this design, this buckle, this asymmetry.
Edit: Why the downvotes (just wondering)?

I frequently unlock a phone that's flat on a desk that's at an arm's length. Now, to unlock, I suspect I'll need to lift and point that device towards my face in order to authenticate. Since I haven't tried the iPhone X yet, I'm not sure how liberal they are with the angle required to capture your face, but it seems unlikely this can be done with the device flat on a desk.
To me, that's unfortunate ... and it's a feature change that having TouchID integrated into the display, as was rumored to be their original intention, would have avoided.

Unlocking your phone with your face has been a regular feature of many smartphones for at least 5 years.

EDIT: It is innovative to do things well for the first time.

I often wonder what people do with these super expensive phones to be honest. I have a cheap Xiaomi phone and it runs the same apps everyone else does.
