    Where is the front speaker on the X? The notch?

    It's called iPhone X due to it celebrating the 10th anniversary of the original iPhone.

    What are the odds the next X has Face and Touch ID?

    Thanks that assuages some fears.

    Also, does anyone have an idea how large the file sizes of movies will get when converted from HD to 4K? Like, if I want to have 3 shows on my phone is that going to seriously compromise things on a 64GB when combined with the other usual suspect apps that take up storage? Have a 128GB now and I'm typically always over 64 but well under 128.

    Your phone isn’t going to play the 4K version of movies. 4K iTunes movies will be exclusive to the Apple TV 4K, and your other devices will default to the HD version.

    Wasn't sure if the file would be converted and stored as the larger 4k file on all devices, but only obviously played at 4k resolution if the screen is capable of displaying 4k.

    And just to answer the original question, the files are significantly larger. I know when I'm streaming 4k it takes up about 3-4 times as much bandwidth.

    So why would you ever buy an iPhone 8? Cause you want touchID?

    That's really interesting due to the rumours that surfaced earlier on in the year suggesting they were having a hard time getting the touch id to work under the screen which explained some of those dummy kits with it on the back. I figured they ditched it with a touch id reveal next year. Maybe it was all rubbish after all?

    What do you guys think over the use of curved corners rather than square? I'm not sure it bothers me yet till I see it in person. Still really impressed with the X. Everyone complaining about the price is a little crazy considering the Samsung Note costs only $70 dollars less.

    Okay so a question.

    If you go through a drive-thru and want to use Apple Pay - at the moment you can lean your phone out the window and use your fingerprint to authorise it. How would that work with your face? The phone is horizontal and not near your face...

    Clearly asking the big questions here hahaha.

    You authorize with your face first, like you will with any Face ID payment, then dangle your phone out the window.

    I think you can authorize the payment with your face before leaning the phone out of the window to pay.

    So I think it might work similar to what I heard Myke Hurley talking about on a podcast. With unlocking, you'll most likely be able to swipe up to unlock before it leaves your pocket (like I assume lots of us do with TouchID already so it's unlocked before it gets out of our pocket) and I can imagine FaceID being similar. Maybe it will read your face first and then you authorize the payment by moving it close to the reader.

    Edit: I see two people beat me to it lol

    I'm really interested in the iPhone X, but I'll probably end up getting an 8 because I don't really have 1500$ (in Canada) to put on a phone.

    I think it solves the wearing gloves in the winter wanting to unlock the phone but can't without taking a glove off first problem haha.

    Has there been any news or updates on if there will be a Beats option in the AirPods style? That's really what I want. I just have a weird aversion to the standard Apple headphones. I've held off getting the AirPods, but I have been close so many times to pulling the trigger.
