Looked like the reason it failed was because it had just been restarted and required the passcode before using the biometric features (like TouchiD on current iPhone)
So not a technical failure but human error.

Yeah not seeing the need for any of the new phones...

Face ID is sooooo stupid. Touch ID was the GOAT. Animojis is so gimmicky and the novelty will wear off quickly. Screen and cameras are all that I need.

If you are staying with the 7 plus or getting the 8 plus I have a few silicone/leather cases I will let go for cheap.

Ehh... possibly. You'd think they would've been prepared for their most important presentation / release ever.

Back when the first iphone was announced, Steve Jobs actually finessed the audience into believing that everything he was doing on stage was on the same phone. In reality, they had multiple phones behind the stage, ready for each task to be completed and then they'd switch out, reboot that phone, etc.

[a blinkin]

Did they do away with Touch ID?

 

[da r entertainment]

[da r entertainment]

[kevlar]

On the X, yes

[curtis50cent]

Face ID gonna be a problem when I'm a few bottles deep in a club.

[lamekilla]

The iPhone 8 is a 7 that comes with iOS 11 out the box? What else am I missing, a glass back and I think that's it

 

[gil23]

Where that blush fam?

 

[Armada]

Just checked how much it would cost to upgrade today to with the iPhone upgrade program. Would be 137 and some change to do it right now instead of waiting till December I'm tempted to pull the trigger

But X ain't delivering till November anyway smh
