Because of the time difference, it means I’ll have it before they arrive in the US. I’ll be unboxing it, setting up face ID, playing with new gestures, making a purchase and even doing a recording from the phone on The Blind Side Podcast 61. When it’s published depends a bit on when the courier delivers, but I expect it to be late Thursday night US Eastern time. So even if you’re getting a phone on launch day, if you’re in the US you should be able to hear the podcast first.

OK, I’m just jerking your chains, but there has been a lot of discussion about the iPhone X since the September Apple keynote, the phone was available for preorder last Friday and will be available in stores and start shipping this Friday (November 3). Of course there is no way you would get one at this point probably until the new year because Apple is not at all able at this point to supply as many phones as are in demand despite the steep price tag. I am sure some on the list will be able to snag one, for one thing Jonathan Mosen is planning to buy one simply because that is his business and once he gets it I am sure he will publish a very detailed and well-produced Podcast on all it’s features. For now just rest assured that both Face Id and all the gestures have been made accessible by Apple, this iPhone has no more home button hence no more Touch Id. The only way to unlock it is either by entering a passcode or by training the phone to recognize your face. In case you didn’t follow this, Apple says the chance somebody else could unlock your iPhone with Touch Id was 1 in 50,000 and they claim that with Face Id this is now 1 in a Million. This of course does not apply to identical twins where Face Id can apparently be fooled. Enjoy your new iPhone X.

I know that this phone has not been released, however I believe that you have found some information about this new device. I understand that this phone doesn’t have a home button. I also understand that to activate siri people needs to flick on the side, and to close an app do another gester. Using voice over, how this gesters are going to work? I don’t know if this topic has been handled on the list. If it is the case, could someone let me know? Thanks -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
