I'm not feeling the Face ID. It seems like more work and less intuitive. Especially with Apple Pay and the like.

Wasn't the 8 plus expected to cost 1000.00 or more? I see where it will be 799.00.

I'm wondering if Apple shite the bed here with no software home button. I mean this is a completely different UX for a lot of other people that already had to learn a new UX at some point in the last 10+ years.
