"Our vision has always been to create an iPhone that is entirely screen." so they failed thus far
It looks ok on the homescreen but they should disable the corners for videos.
Why are people comfortable carrying a $1000 piece of equipment that can be dropped or stolen in an instant in their pocket? My Nexus6p takes great pictures, runs everything smoothly, and I don't have to freak out as much if the $350 suddenly vanishes.

well, i'm a successful professional that's been working nearly every day for over 20 years, so... if i lost my phone i would simply buy another one. is this a trick question or something? i'm not going to jump into a swimming pool on purpose, but losing my phone isn't something that concerns me.
Just put your phone number, address, and credit card details on your HN bio and one of our prestigious client grooming agents will be personally in touch with you at your earliest convenience…
I'm wondering if it's easier or harder for cops to forcefully unlock your phone using faceID or touchID
How's that Fifth Amendment thing working out for you?
EDIT: There's legal precedent that specifically says you can be compelled to unlock your phone with your fingerprint, and that's not "testimonial" (that is, your right against self-incrimination isn't in play). There is zero reason to think FaceID will be treated any differently.
These keynotes were magical before leakers leaked everything. I'm wondering if Apple should scrap these and aim for smaller, unplanned releases instead. As far as this phone goes, I am really excited to see how it stacks up to the Galaxy S8. Face ID is incredibly enticing, but Samsung Pay is much more universal. The only thing that is making me want to retreat back to an iPhone is its inferior Bluetooth audio quality…
Yeah the leaks gave this entire presentation away. We are at peak Apple. If I may borrow a similar peak story I'd look at Microsoft and the release of Windows XP. Balmer banked on that cash cow for far too long. Tim Cook is doing the same thing here. They need to buy Tesla and put Musk in charge of Apple. Everything they do these days is just another way to milk the money machine for them. They need a world class mic…

New models are waterproof, dive in ;)
Projector-based 3D face recognition. Nifty. Shines an IR dot pattern onto the face, recognizes with that, works in the dark. Seems on continuously, wonder how much power draw.
Can be used by police to unlock your phone by pointing it at your face.
I cannot get around the missing headphone jack. My headphones cost more than this new iPhone :(
Is the DAC even good enough in the iPhone at that point? Even if you had a straight jack audiophile headphones are probably not getting much benefit over, say, Bose headphones are they?
I use an external DAC (Beyerdynamic A200p) when I use my notebook or my iPhone stationary.
Edit: I use Shure SE846 as headphones.

They have already been doing this for quite awhile. With their practices on device encryption, public stance on cooperating with police for unlocking devices, etc, they have made it a key differentiating factor between them an Android in many ways. And when it comes to security and privacy, you are incorrect when you say that all phones today are the same.
Throughout HN comments for the last couple years, it seems to be widely acknowledged that Apple offers the best privacy of the current mobile industry.
Also wonder if this "security feature" is NSA-approved, m pretty sure it is.
