"It's going to annoy everybody who likes things to happen fast all the time because Face ID will definitely cause a delay and frustrate every user at some point."

It doesn't. FaceID is faster and as reliable as TouchID was for me. Not to mention, with winter coming, have you tried using TouchID with cold fingers? Spoiler alert: it mostly fails.

"The lack of a home button is probably the worst design decision."

Disagree. App switching is faster than ever, the new gestures stick after ~30 minutes of use, unlocking my phone takes less time.

"Half the time when I start scrolling near the bottom of the screen the control center shows up."

The control center isn't accessed by swiping up on iPhone X, it's accessed by swiping down from the upper right "ear" of the screen. So this is a non-starter.

Source: I've been using my iPhone X with FaceID since Friday afternoon, iPhone user since 2008.
