Re: Phones & Cases And Such
So, I suppose you've all heard about the iPhone X by now. Thousand bucks. Ouch. Facial recognition instead of a home button? When I first heard of it, I thought it sounded cool, but these two tweets got me thinking about potential for abuse:

He had the track record at BYU, and he seems to say and do the right things. But the team really doesn't look ...
