Unresponsive screen
Reports of the iPhone X screen becoming unresponsive in cold weather are appearing.
A thread on Reddit claims that: "It literally takes 2 seconds from going inside to the cold outdoors and my screen stops being very responsive."
According to a report on The Loop, Apple has confirmed that it is aware of the issue. The company said: "We are aware of instances where the iPhone X screen will become temporarily unresponsive to touch after a rapid change to a cold environment. After several seconds the screen will become fully responsive again. This will be addressed in an upcoming software update."
Face ID hacked
There have been a number of stories appearing claiming that people have been able to fool Face ID so that it will unlock someone else's iPhone X.
There were a number of videos where identical twins were able to unlock each others phones. Apple has already confirmed here that someone who looked like you might be able to unlock your iPhone (a twin or just another family member.)
However, the most likely scenario in cases where a twin or family member unlocks an iPhone X is that at some point in the process the passcode had been entered, telling Face ID to start to learn that the new face was in fact the old face.
We tested this theory with some identical twin friends and found that twin two couldn’t open the phone when it was set up with twin one’s Face ID. However, all twin two needed to do was enter the passcode and then Face ID updated itself to recognise them as well as their twin. From then on Face ID could be unlocked by both twins.
There is one case where a 10-year-old boy was able to unlock his mother's iPhone X. Apparently within seconds of the boy looking at his mother's new iPhone X it unlocked. In the statement on Face ID Security linked to above Apple said that it doesn't recommend that children use Face ID as their facial features are still developing, and the company has also warned that people with similar features may be able to unlock your iPhone X, but it seems strange that the boy, who's face is so much smaller than his mother's would be able to unlock the iPhone.
Apple claimed that it had thoroughly tested Face ID and found that it was impossible to fool it with the use of a mask. However, a Vietnamese security firm is claiming it has bypassed Face ID using a silicone mask, a 3-D printed frame, and 2-D images of the eyes and mouth.
The security firm has shared this video of the hack.

Speaker buzzing issues
Apparently some iPhone X users are experiencing distortion and buzzing sounds from the iPhone X speaker.
iPhone X owners posting on Reddit and Twitter are reporting crackling sounds that can be heard when using the iPhone X speakerphone at high volumes.
Although, one Redditor claims that the issue happens even at just 50% volume.
Another poster claims that Apple replaced his iPhone X due to the issue, but that the new unit was also affected by the issue.
The iPhone 8 also suffered from an earpiece cracking issue and this was fixed with a software update.

iPhone X headaches
Is your iPhone giving you a headache? Apparently some iPhone X users are complaining of eye fatigue and headaches.
The problem could stem from Apple's use of pulse-width modulation which it uses to dim the brightness of the display. This can produce a flickering effect that some people are sensitive to.
If you are experiencing similar issues, you could try adjusting some of the settings on your iPhone. We found that some of the new features in iOS 11 made us feel sick - you can find out how to turn nausea inducing iPhone effects here.

iPhone X green line
Some iPhone X units are developing a green line on the side of the display.
Twitter user mixOmatOsis was one of a number of iPhone X users to experience the issue. He tweeted this photo of the problem to Apple Support:

Some iPhone X handsets are slower than others
Because Apple doesn't use the same components in all of its iPhone X handsets, some are apparently slower than others.
According to a SpeedSmart, this is because Apple is using different suppliers for the baseband modems inside the iPhone X. Either a Qualcomm or Intel modem.
SpeedSmart claims that the data that it has obtained from users of its app shows that there are big differences in speeds depending on which modem is in the iPhone.
Apparently Intel's modem is the faster option. However, Apple has artificially limited the Qualcomm modem, says BGR in its report.
