Taking the perfect selfie is an art form: It requires the right lighting, a very particular phone angle, and jussssst the right amount of chin tilt. However, thanks to the highly-anticipated iPhone X and all of its fancy new technology, selfies are becoming a little too perfect, and it's making a whole bunch of people seriously uncomfortable.
The phone, finally released on Friday, was touted as having "true depth camera," which according to Apple's website uses portrait mode to "shoot selfies with a depth-of-field effect that puts your face in sharp focus against an artfully blurred background." And while that sounds great, there are a handful of iPhone X users that have decided it's, well, not great. Many have taken to Twitter to express their concern over the ultra high quality of the selfies taken on the iPhone X, which are so high-def it's making them feel self-conscious about their looks.

"Im going to need all my friends to switch to Android, I am way too ugly for this new iPhone X camera," wrote one user. "But seriously the camera on the iPhone X makes me 100x more ugly," commented another. Others are jokingly terrified for those inevitable "accidental front-facing camera" moments, with one user saying, "I’m gonna try to open the iPhone X front facing camera and it’s gonna be like girl are you sure."
One user perfectly summed up how the internet seems to be feeling about the camera in a single tweet, noting, "The iphone x camera makes me a little uncomfortable idk if i wanna see myself, or anyone else for that matter, that clearly."
Obviously, there's no problem with showing off a few imperfections in a photo (after all, we've all got them), but it looks like people aren't thrilled with the very detailed photos that the $1,000 phone yields. Your best bet? Pull a Britney Spears and embrace it, complete with a no-makeup, duck-faced selfie. And when all else fails, there are always Snapchat filters.
