The short Facebook ad trolls Apple’s new Face ID feature that the iPhone X uses to unlock the handset. Weaver C. Barksdale & Associates Inc. bought a new stake in shares of Apple during the third quarter valued at $122,000. The camera also features a flash-light on the top of the rear camera.
The iPhone 8 model starts at $699, while the iPhone X will start at $999, Apple announced last Tuesday.
The iPhone X won’t have a home button – instead, you’ll have to learn new gestures to replace what you do with the home button today.
In related news, CEO Timothy D. Cook sold 268,623 shares of the stock in a transaction on Monday, August 28th. When Craig Federighi attempted to showcase the iPhone X’s new Face ID feature for the first time, it didn’t work and he was prompted for a passcode.
In fact, the analyst fears the exact opposite, highlighting “a risk of demand push-out (wherever physically possible) to next year when Apple will likely release OLED versions more broadly”.
There’s nearly an implication here that the iPhone X isn’t built to last.
The swipe and face-recognition unlock functions on the iPhone X might make that more hard. There is no any further leaks or rumors available for this phone as well.
This won’t be the first time Apple users have had to wait to get hold of the latest devices with numerous most popular iPhones usually running out of stock as soon as they are launched. The learning curve will be interesting to watch. Compared to the changes being made in the iPhone X, pronounced iPhone “ten”, both the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus have got minor upgrades. I was driving over the weekend, for example, and liked that I could just place my finger on it to unlock the phone and then quickly switch Spotify playlists before returning to Google Maps. The iPhone 8 series did have some refinements though, but we don’t consider them exactly as a showstopper. The new iPhones are powered by a new A11 Bionic six-core processor which is optimized for ARKit augmented reality experience. The phones generally look the same as their predecessors, the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, with the exception of having glass bodies, as opposed to aluminum. The front facing camera here supports portrait mode as well. Huawei also added a caption that reads “let’s face it, facial recognition isn’t for everyone”. “Whatever you do, don’t purchase Apple products from the Apple store”.
What is it about the iPhone X that Apple is so intent on overcharging for? Though some shareholders look at Apple shares that have surged 39% year-to-date, far outclassing the S&P 500’s performance of 11%, the analyst says “we disagree” with the concept of taking the sale now, projecting that climbing iPhone ASPs will “further accelerate revenue growth”. The new box will be able to stream at so-called 4K resolution, which refers to screens with two times the vertical resolution and twice the horizontal resolution of high-definition TVs.
In addition, the device is water resistant and while this is not a new feature, it has a IP 67 rating which means the phone can be about 3.3 feet under water for 30 minutes, according to Apple.
Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) last issued its earnings results on Tuesday, August 1st. In fact, the company may not even fix your phone or take a look at it even if you are willing to pay.
