Apple’s latest ad for iPhone X highlights Face ID and how easily it can unlock your phone. The one minute ad shows a girl walking through a school and ‘unlocking’ everything in her path with just a glance, similar to how Face ID works on your iPhone X.
But this ad isn’t quite ‘perfect’, as 9to5Mac’s Benjamin Mayo tweets there is a bug shown in the ad, where the iMessage notification animation cuts off text, as seen in the screenshot below. You need to watch that section of the ad carefully to spot it, but Mayo says he submitted this iOS 11 bug to Apple about it “months ago” but it still was approved for the ad.
OMG Apple’s latest iPhone X ad includes a shot of the bugged notification bubbles (see thread for explanation)
Yes, I did file a radar on this months ago. I think it got closed as dupe. I’m way more concerned that this was signed off for the commercial. pic.twitter.com/4VnuplkQTf

iOS 11 bugs aside, Face ID works really well on iPhone X, as a 1.0 feature launch.

No it doesn’t, hense why I returned an X.
I haven’t had any issues; been using it since launch day.
Same here
Just watched the video! – awesome! I think they fixed the bug!!
Yeah brilliant, to break in someone’s phone, hold it in front of their face. Just lovely.
I like new twist of having truth in advertising. Much better than when Apple used to Photoshop out the camera hump on their website.
