Will the cable appropriately reduce the output to what an iPhone should be getting?

Yes. Electricity is pulled, not pushed. The iPhone will only pull what it can, the brick cant supply more than that. That goes for any charging electronic
I just bought a used 6s. Going to try and get an X,and if not I should be ok with this phone for another year until X2. 6s/7/8 so similar really.
Question for me is how long to wait before giving up? January may be ok, but if its April? Then youre playing the guessing game of whether the new one will be September or on a different cycle.
This could all blow up in apples face if they dont sort out production - if lots of people wait and chase the X their volumes could drop a lot. Although tbh with the 8 being so similar to the 7 and people generally updating less often I think that may have been an issue anyway to a degree
They probably also didnt mention it because you have to buy separate accessories, the brick and the cable, providing you dont have either.
Both of which should be in the box already, If cheaper Android counterparts can include these there is no reason why Apple couldn't other than greed.
Do you have a link??
Yah. I also think battery life might be a concern since you're eligible for a free swap if it hits 80% within 24 months. And I can't help but feel using fast charging on a regular basis is detrimential to battery health. So that's why they are not embracing it at all.

Eh, they mentioned it for the iPad Pros and they do the same thing
This is good to hear/read.

I think thats why its great to actually have the swipe up. Muscle memory will send your finger down there for TouchID/the home button, and by the time your finger gets there youll remember that there is no button and youll be ready to just swipe up to get into the phone or close the app youre in
I still press my home button a second time to unlock...because I'm a a filthy heathen with an iPhone 5.
Everyone I knew were upset when apple removed slide to unlock, and all of them now don't care and have gotten used to it. I think many people generally like to cry foul when there's a change, but don't actually stop to think if the change is actually any good or not.

I've been serious wtf'ing at the idea that some people think that Apple, the company that absolutely isn't afraid to drop technology and hates redundancy even if sometimes is warranted (I don't know if you guys heard about the headphone jack), invested in Face ID only to couple it with the already existing Touch ID, make it about as pointless as it gets.
It's one or the other. Face ID is the new, out with the old.

You need to see your mug on the screen to unlock the phone? That's how face-id works?
Maybe she's just got small hand but she makes the X look huge
Although MKBHD even says it's not a one handed phone even for him.
No, it doesnt show your face at all and still show the traditional lock screen with your wallpaper.
Yeah she has pretty tiny hands but the height alone does seem to make this a two handed phone.

I dont see how?
Touch ID
1. Raise the phone with your thumb on the home button. Or press the home button, keeping your thumb on it.
Face ID
1. Raise the phone.
2. Swipe Up
I hope the review can clarify how fast FaceID really is...
No. You just swipe up. It scans your face in the instant between swiping up and moving to the home screen.

So you either raise the phone with your thumb on the bottom of the screen and then lift your thumb, or you raise the phone with your thumb on the bottom of the screen and then... flick your thumb up
Truly a burden.
No one said it was a burden. I asked how Face ID is better, you asked me how it was an extra step and i explained how.
My comment was actually is response to Apple employees who are now acting like the home button is a burden
Any video showing this?
All the ones I've seen were like: lift up the phone, look at it, see the icon going from locked to unlock, swipe up.
The deliberate steps might have been just to explain the process to the journalists but I'd like to see the whole thing done as in real life situation.

Its not an extra step, you were being deliberately obtuse with touchID steps. There is no difference between having to push the home button and swiping up when counting steps
You dont have to wait for that animation
No I havent seen video showing this.
Wife spotted my used 6s arriving and asked what it was for. She was ok with my plan of waiting for the X, but did point out 'its ok for you to spend £1000 on a phone, but not ok for me to spend the same on a handbag'. Putting aside the difference in use cases, I pointed out thatd I'd told her plenty of times to buy a (stupidly expensive) handbag, and its just her nature to prefer to age money.
So this phone might end up costing the household £2000

Opposite bias:
Touch ID
1. Raise your phone
2. Touch/press the home button
Face ID
1. Raise your phone with your thumb swiping up
No bias:
Both have the same number of steps to get to the home screen.

Considering that animation is actually the indicator for whether pho e is unlocked or not, I'm guessing swiping up before it's actually unlocked won't do anything...
Also, whether you have to wait for the animation or not, the amount of steps to unlock the phone remains the same. Whether you can swipe before or after, doesn't change the fact that swiping is an extra step.
Bias???? The irony dripping from your post is truly amazing. It's so potent your e literally creating alternative facts while pretending to be unbiased.
Phones with fingerprint scanners can be unlocked while still in your pocket, BEFORE you even raise the phone.
Phones with no fingerprint scanners that require facial recognition HAVE to be raised to the necessary angle/height to unlock......
So what the hell are you actually talking about?

Just buy a Coach/Smythson for her...relatively inexpensive
To me it seems clear that touch ID can be unlocked faster and easier if one is really focused on that (scanning while pulling up the phone). I actually paid attention to how I unlock my 5s or the S7 Edge the last days and I always look at the phone while I use the fingerprint scanner.
Most of the time I'm checking whether there is any new missed message/ mail that warrants me unlocking the phone. So for me personally it would make zero difference I think.

If it works as advertised, with an unlock at any angle as long as the eyes, nose, and mouth are in view, it will make no difference for most people.

I wonder, if you take a screenshot on iPhone X, will it have bunny ears and rounded corners, or will it show stuff that is not visible on the actual screen?
It will show stuff that's not visible on the actual screen

I wanna see the receipts
40million is not enough for 2 month of sales?
People need justification for their actions.
Why women want to spend that much on a handbag is beyond me. My ex and I were in Selfridges one day when she spotted a Pauls Boutique bag that she simply needed to have it was just shy of £700. Its okay to spend £700 on a fucking bag, but God forbid I spend £50 on a nerdy videogame.Wife spotted my used 6s arriving and asked what it was for.
