Apple’s iPhone X was just called one of 2017’s ‘biggest, baddest hardw.are failures’.
It’s only Monday, so it’s a bit early to state conclusively that the article linked within this post is the most ridiculous thing you’ll read all week. We’re going to go out on a limb, however, and say that it is highly unlikely that anything will top it. Late last year, Apple finally released the completely redesigned iPhone that fans had been anxiously awaiting for years. Dubbed iPhone X to mark the tenth anniversary of Apple’s first iPhone, the handset is a bold reimagining of the iPhone experience. Beyond the new hardware design, the handset ditches Apple’s iconic home button and replaces its functionality with a series of gestures. Touch ID was also abandoned in the new iPhone X, paving the way for Apple’s new Face ID authentication technology.

For some iPhone users, the iPhone X is a lot to take in at once. It changes the iPhone user experience on so many levels, and it may come as something of a shock after Apple used almost the exact same iPhone design for three consecutive years. But is it a failure?

There are problems scattered through this curious blog post that was published on Fast Company’s design blog as 2017 was winding down. In fact, the biggest problem with the post might not even be the iPhone X take. Instead, it could be the first product listed in this post, which is Amazon’s entire Echo device line.

Galaxy Note 9 rumored to have one feature the iPhone X lacks.
It’s too early to get excited about Samsung’s second flagship of the year, but a new Galaxy Note 9 rumor says the phone may offer users the kind of feature the iPhone X — and any other all-screen phone out there — lacks: a fingerprint sensor under the display.

This isn’t the first time we have heard about Samsung working on such screen technology. But Samsung won’t be the only smartphone maker to launch such devices this year, or the first, assuming the report is accurate.
