For Years I have been a very BIG supporter of Apple I phone, there was a time I actually went back to android. But I came back to apple.
FIRST OF ALL IT IS A VERY NICE LOOKING PHONE, BIGGER THAN THE SMALLER IPHONE7 AND SMALLER THAN THE IPHONE PLUS 7

One BIG problem is they got rid of the touch ID and have gone with facial recognition id!

WTF?????
I'm hearing about problems ALREADY with the cold weather being a factor as that it does not read your face, and well, what if someone wants to unlock your I Phone, now thanks to I phone 10, they either kick your ass and show your face to the camera, of coarse your eyes must be open,or wait, better yet, a cop can now arrest you and guess what, all they have to do is point the phone to your face, and wallah,, they have access, how dumb is this?!!?!
That is if you don't lock it and disable the feature quickly by hitting the side buttons, but what if someone just swipes it and points it at you, instant access.
Who the hell cares how fast and good it looks if in today's world, where security is the utmost importance, now your going to dump the finger ID, or code word in place of a facial ID?
Looks like Apple just shot itself in the foot.
I did watch many videos about these phones and drop test, the I phone x does hold up well with a stainless steel back vs the aluminum, but that facial ID is just the killer for me.
I will hang on to my IPhone 7 until either they bring back the button option, or go with who knows...Samsung, Google new phone...Apple you really screwed up in my opinion.

How does it work with a photograph / print out of your picture. Won't that unlock the phone too? Or a crook just takes your picture with his phone before he takes/steals your phone....

There are a lot of reviews out there with people asking the same questions, but yeah it’s a big change and one I don’t like.
Your right, if someone puts it to your face or as you said a picture, what’s to stop them from unlocking it?
