The $999 iPhone X costs more than many laptops. Among the changes in store is the ability to project face movements onto emoji.

Apple's new iPhone X will allow users to do something we never dared dream would be possible with a handheld device.

It lets you take control of the poo emoji with your own face.

That's right, the animated pile of excrement, which is among the most popular methods of communication for millennials, can be controlled with the tech giant's new Face ID feature.

The fine article has an example of animoji demonstrated at an Apple conference.

Check YouTube for an example of the Face2Face algorithm — published on Mar 17, 2016 — where real-time face movement is projected onto George W. Bush, Vladimir Putin, and Donald Trump.

    Ah, so this is one of those silly things that Millenials care about. When oh when will they ever grow up?

    Guess that's why we're all publishing articles about it, re-aggregating the story, and responding. To talk about how only those silly Millenials care about this trash.

    I don't know, us "millennials" have been fighting your oil wars for sixteen years this fall while you boomers continue to wreck our nation by bringing in cheap criminal labor from Mexico, buying five fucking beach houses and then making the government pay for them when they fall into the sea (a trend which started with Hurricane Hugo), and then driving up the costs of tuition for profit while making student loan debt never fucking disappear even through bankruptcy while you allow "dreamers" to go to school for free.

    So let us enjoy our fucking iPhone X.

      Not sure how to feel about being mistaken for a baby boomer as I lay on my couch, listening to Coldplay and commenting on an internet article with my iPhone.
