“OUR CONCLUSIONS”
(although who am ‘i’ to say?)
(i’m still playing ‘catch-up”)
.
*’X’ pronounced “ten” /tΙn/*
.
*’iPhone X” is a ‘smartphone’ [designed / developed / marketed] by ‘apple incorporated’*
.
(it was announced on ’12 september 2017′, alongside the ‘iphone 8’ and ‘iphone 8 plus’ at the ‘steve jobs theater’ in/(on?) the ‘apple park’ campus)
(the ‘phone’ was released on ‘3 november 2017’)
(another ‘ friday’)
(this ‘iphone’ marks the device’s 10th anniversary, with “X” being the symbol for “ten” in ‘roman numerals’)
(the ‘iphone X’ is intended to showcase what ‘apple’ thinks is ‘technology of the future’, specifically… )
adopting ‘OLED screen technology’ for the first time in ‘iphone history’,
as well as using a ‘glass’ and ‘stainless-steel’ form factor,
offering ‘wireless charging’,
and removing the ‘home button’ in favor of introducing ‘face ID’, a new ‘authentication method’ using advanced technologies to scan the user’s face to unlock the device, as well as for the use of animated emojis called ‘animoji’)
(the ‘new’ + ‘nearly ‘bezel-less” form factor marks a significant change to the ‘iphone user interaction’, involving ‘swipe-based gestures’ to navigate around the ‘operating system’ rather than the typical ‘home button’ used in every previous iteration of the ‘iphone’ lineup)
(at the time of its ‘november 2017’ launch, its price tag of ‘US$999’ also made it the most expensive ‘iphone’ ever, with even higher prices internationally due to additional ‘local sales’ and ‘import taxes’)
(the ‘iphone X’ received ‘mixed’ to ‘positive’ reviews)
(its ‘display’ and ‘build’ quality were ‘universally praised’, and the ‘camera’ also scored positively on ‘tests’)
(the phone received particularly polarized reception due to the sensor-housing “notch” at the top of the screen and the introduction of an all-new ‘authentication method’)
(the ‘notch’ was heavily mocked by users on ‘social media’, although ‘app developers’ responded either ‘neutrally’ or ‘positively’ to the changes it brought to the ‘user experience’ in their ‘apps’ and ‘games’)
(reviewers had ‘mixed reactions’, with some ‘condemning’ it and others ‘acknowledging’ it as ‘unusual’ in the first moments of use before getting ‘accustomed to’ its presence)
(‘face ID facial recognition’ was praised for its simple setup, but criticized for requiring ‘direct eyes on the screen’)
(for all of the whining “blurry-eyes”)
(additionally, ‘face ID’ has sparked a debate about ‘security’ and ‘privacy’)
(‘apple’ claims it is significantly more advanced than ‘touch ID’, having far less ‘false positives’, though ‘media reports’ have discussed the fact that ‘face ID’ and other ‘biometric unlocking systems’ do not have the same level of ‘constitutional privacy’ as a ‘passcode’ in the ‘united states’)
(‘face ID’ has shown ‘mixed results’ when trying to separate ‘identical twins’, and the promise of ‘enhanced security’ has been challenged by ‘hackers’ and ‘mask makers’ trying to infiltrate it; at least one of such attempts has been successful, though difficult to perform)
.
(‘3rd-party app developers’ can also request access to “rough maps” of ‘user facial data’ for their ‘apps’, causing concerns among ‘privacy advocates’ despite rigid requirements by ‘apple’ of how ‘developers’ handle ‘facial data’)
