Did the FaceID just fail on stage for Craig Federighi?
Yep, but he had a back up phone right there.

#132It was said Face ID is one in a million so that means ~7500 people can unlock my phone..
My current PIN is 6 digits, so ~7500 can also unlock my phone on a random guess. Chances are the first five people to try will trigger the passcode though.

#133I can't believe that video plays "under" the notch. I would have bet money that they would have blacked out the status bar during video playback.
I wouldn't be surprised if you could double-tap to zoom out, like when watching 4:3 videos on the current iPhone.
Re: iPhone X
#134Probably not a good sign that FaceID failed on stage for Craig on his first try (had to use a passcode to log in) during the demo.
I don't think it failed, it just said you had to use passcode on first login after restart, just like the touchID

#135That AI chip that runs 600 billion instructions per second - is that just for FaceID or can it be programmed?
600 billion instructions per second to show a poop emoji.

Yeah, some bizarre asymmetry there. I'd have preferred they just shrink the top/bottom bezels, similar to the Galaxy S8 or LG's V30. I can't see "the cutout" aging gracefully.

#137Will iphone X have passcode along with FaceId

#138The Animoji thing is surprisingly neat. I was all prepped to make fun of it when they put the name on the screen, but that's just... really really neat.
Seems completely useless to me. Apple has lost it's focus. I'm thinking of switching to Android for the first time since iPhone 3G. The only reason I'm still on iOS is for iMessage/Facetime.

#139...and all I wonder is why they are skipping number 9? Are the negative connotations some culture? iPhone NEIN? With Windows 9, there was at least the explanation that software might confuse it with Windows 9x (which I didn't buy, since there is view api returning the version as a string, and Windows shims GetVersion if you don't declare compatibility anyway). More on topic, this looks nice, I think people will not b…
Probably because it's been ten years since the original iPhone, and they feel this one's far enough from the original to merit the version bump. They may also be trying to indicate that they feel this iPhone is on a par with OSX for productivity or something.
It's more succinct than Tenth Anniversary iPhone Edition, I suppose.

During WWDC 1998, Steve Jobs announced Mac OS X (as a change from the original Rhapsody strategy) while Mac OS 8.1 was still current. There is precedent by Apple to announce version X before version 9 is released.
