I'm wondering if it's easier or harder for cops to forcefully unlock your phone using faceID or touchID
Just look away or close your eyes.
$1000 for higher fidelity snapchat features. I love my iphone camera, and if the upgrade program isn't too terrible, I will get the iPhoneX, but call me underwhelmed. The implementation of faceID seems really poorly thought out. I can unlock my phone, and navigate it before focusing my attention on it. I feel like "attention to unlock" is going to cause an increase in distracted driver related incidents.
$1320 CAD + tax for a phone. MacBook Air is cheaper than this. edit: meant CAD.
To be fair, the MB Air is fairly old in comparison. Also, the display is far better on the iPhone X and last time iPhone 7 was compared, it faired better than many notebooks in CPU tests as well. It only got better since then.

This. There are multiple scenarios where not looking directly at the phone comes handy. You mentioned the driver scenario, but there's more. E.g before bed, I don't wanna look directly to my phone as it's annoyingly bright. Or sometimes I want to use the phone while it's still in my pocket (for example, click Next Song ...).
Do you think phones are a "done" thing? I mean what we are seeing these days is more of an evolution than revolution. With iPhone X I think we know what the phone industry will move towards for next 4 years. All these features are cool and somewhat exciting but nothing groundbreaking that will change computing/communications forever. VR was supposed to be the game changer but it appears that it will also take around…
I think in the future, we'll see the iPhone A. A solid, feature-less block of aluminum.

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…
Ok, I stopped there. Now let's talk about the sociological impact of Apple.
This just in: Apple releases the Samsung Galaxy S8, calls it an iPhone
Seems like all these features were previously available on Android phone for (quite) some time: - "bezel-less" display - wireless charging - no hardware buttons on the front - facial recognition - dual cameras Not to downplay the quality engineering of Apple, but this seems like a big "meh..." to me. A lot of hype for stuff that is commonplace.

I don't have much to add, only to say that I generally agree. I first started creating custom roms for the Sprint HTC Hero when it came out in 2009. It was my first Android phone and I was in love with everything about it. I was obsessed with getting the next new phone with new features every time a new one came out. I made pretty good money and saved most of it; buying new phones was the one thing I would splurge on…
Worse, I get worried about some newer devices which may make me less free - the Pixel has a very locked down boot process and the Magisk developer has been struggling to support it. I currently use Android Pay on my rooted device and I'm definitely not willing to pay to lose that freedom.
