My girlfriend and I began buying and upgraded to the latest iPhone since the very first version and the iPhone X is one the the biggest changes that I can remember. Much like going from the iPhone 3GS to the 4 was or the iPhone 5 to the 6. The X model looses the Home Button and doesn’t have a the headphone jack like the 7’s. No big deal on the headphone jack. Sometimes I do prefer plugging a set in and not having to worry about Bluetooth. The lack of a Home button does take some time getting use too. It is really different with the swipe gestures but after a day or so you get use to it. Basically learning a new way to switch and X out of apps. I like it now after using it. The phone is fast, feels crisper than the 7. Safari is snappier and pretty much all the apps are. The phones size is somewhat like the 7, feels thinner but is a tad larger. If you can afford it, you will be happy. I played with the iPhone 8 and it feels quicker too. The Face ID works really well. Being brothers that look a lot alike we try to trick it but it doesn’t work. This is the first of what will be new technologies for Apple like the Face ID, this was probably rushed and the next version will be more secure and work better. But it seems to work fine right now and does take the place of the finger ID pretty well. Camera takes awesome pictures. The 256g model can hold a lot of data which is nice and since your spending a grand you might as well spend the extra money and get the extra memory Pleased so far and looks like a solid reliable phone. In all fairness though, I could get by just fine with the iPhone 7 that I have been using. The main thing I like is the larger screen which is gorgeous and the faster processor. I love the phone but honestly I could have waited a year for the next model. If you can afford it now you’ll enjoy it. The size is perfect for me and the screen is awesome. Get a good case to protect it with which also hide the gorgeous design. I never really saw the iPhone 7 in black that I had because I always had it in a heavy duty case to protect it. It’s a shame to hide such great looking devices but you kinda have to so they don’t get dinged up.

The iPhone X is really the first big upgrade from Apple compared to a last year iPhone. What I liked: The display is really amazing going to an OLED display with a higher resolution is really an upgrade compared to my iPhone 7. Also the edge to edge display gives you a much bigger screen than the 7 or 8 (not plus phones). Also I liked how smooth face ID is and the features that it has like dimming my alarm when I look into my phone. In addition, the camera quality is top notch I have never seen amazing pictures from a smartphone like this phone. Finally, having fast charging capability is really awesome and helps a lot if you forgot to charge your phone and you want to get some charge before you go out. What I disliked: The aspect ratio of the screen won’t let you use the full screen size when you watch content unless you are ok with zooming to fit which crops the image. Also not having touch ID is really disappointing because it is still faster than face ID and it is more convenient. Finally, I really hated that apple didn’t include a fast charging power brick with the phone (you have to buy the 29w power adapter and a usb c to lighting cable to get fast charging).

First off I'll say I'm not one sided just for apple. There are android products that are equal to the iphone. I've tried both at different times and depending on what you use your phone for one can be better than the other. If you just use the a phone for surfing web, texting, watching videos and possibly a phone call (nah, who does that) then just about any smart phone will do. I do prefer the overall echo system apple provides and prefer the iphone because of it. Now that being said, I did have my doubts about face recognition but it seems to work well. I have had it not work on occasion and i just punched in my security code to unlock the phone. It does work most of the time and its pretty quick. The times it has not worked was when I caused a large distortion of my face compared to what my face looked like when i scanned it originally. An example of this was the phone started to scan my face and at about the same time I had to yawn, my yawning face didn't let the phone unlock via the facial recognition. Overall the phone is an awesome upgrade from my 3yr old 6 plus. The front and back cameras both take awesome pictures. I would recommend this phone. The down side, the price is crazy expensive. I purchase my phone out right which really hurts the wallet, its also why my last phone was 3yrs old. I don't upgrade every year.

I upgraded from an iPhone 6. I held out for the X as my hubby has a 7 and I wasn't impressed enough to buy a 7. I'm glad I waited for the X. The display is beautiful and the notch is not a bother. It took a bit to get used to seeing it, but not a deal breaker by any means. The phones processor is lightening fast with no lag time at all. The facial rec works unbelievably fast and accurately. While riding in the car last night in the dark, it still unlocked my phone. I was a bit worried that this would not work well, I was wrong! This is so much more efficient than fingerprint ID. I absolutely do not miss the home button either. Only a few hours and I was very comfortable with it. It now has me wishing my iPad had facial rec and the new gestures. Overall I am very happy with it. I put a good case and screen protector on it as I don't need a $800 bill to fix it if I drop it. It is pricey, but what isn't now a days! If I do find some issues I'm not happy with I'll come back and add them. I've had it for 4 days and have not been frustrated for one moment.

This is about the hardware side of the device for the most part. Finally something different. I adapted to no home button fast an I don't miss it in fact prefer it now. The only gesture I am not a fan of is Notification Center. I have big hands so it is not really an issue for me to reach the top corner but it does not feel natural or intuitive. I can see it being problematic for others with small hands for sure. Screen is gorgeous and I really like the form factor. The notch is not a big deal to me though I do find it limits the info available at the top of the home screen. For the most part I have forgotten its there. Cameras are very good and as is processing power. Overall I love the device. Face ID works very well and is fast. Most people that complain about it being slower are just not adapted to it yet. I keep it set so I have to be looking at the phone to unlock it and yes that means I have to look at it. That is a little different that touchID but you can turn that off if you choose. Also when you get a message notification quit swiping up to go to the home screen then touching messages. Just wake the phone, touch the notification and blam you are there. Like I said adapting to the new way of using it. I don't like the protruding camera on the back, thats just stupid. The glass back feels and looks great but adds to the delicateness of the device so both negative and positive I guess. Overall it's my favorite iPhone in a long time.

Wow, the iPhone X is everything I wanted it to be. Pros: Face ID is amazing. Easy and fast—very natural process (your facial expression doesn’t matter too much). The screen is HUGE (I’m upgrading from 5s) and the “notch” doesn’t really bother me since it’s more like extra screen space for the status icons. OLED display is incredible. Refresh rate is totally fine even for playing games or videos. I don’t miss the home button. It’s so nice to not have to press a button actually, and the swipe up for home is very easy and natural. It feels like you “fling” the app away. Cons: Screen is very tall. I have big hands, and it’s still tough to use with one hand. Some apps are not optimized right and can include important text in the “notch” area. Apple shouldn’t let developers publish apps that do this, but it will hopefully be solved soon. Overall very happy, and although the price is outrageous, it’s totally worth it.

My 6S iPhone was stolen so that I needed a replacement phone. I have enjoyed iPhones since my 3S so I primarily looked at iPhones. I know new phones are coming in 2 months but I could not wait and therefore I was considering the 8 vs the X. The main concern for me was the larger, and price of the X. However, when I went to Best Buy the X was only 4-5 mm larger than the 8 (due to the edge to edge) and I was pleased how it was not bulky and fit well in my hand. And, I will say the camera is a great improvement over my prior 6S, and the 8. The cost, yes, is something to behold, but since I keep a phone for 3 years or more (unless stolen), then the cost over the years is reasonable.Great experience at Best Buy, and the phone really is great. The new phones will be out, but I am not sure that there will be too much difference in the phones, and certainly the prices of the new phones will not be less than what Apple is currently charging.

The new iPhone X is great in many ways, and you could find out a lot of its new features online, so I’ll just mention a few personal feelings and experience. 1. I don’t care how much the components cost, starting at $999 seems a little high. One might say: “but you bought it and are making comment!” True. As I said, it’s just my personal feelings and experience. 2. The screen size is perfect for me. I had been using an iPhone 6 Plus before, and my mom had an iPhone 6, 6 plus is too large, 6 is too small. The size of X is just about right. 3. I found the color is great, and OLED can really give you pure black, making my expensive IPS Gaming monitor look dull. However, I’m experiencing a little tailing when scrolling real quick, the text blur with a tail. My other lcd phones and monitors have this problem as well, but iPhone X is a bit worse imo. I don’t know if anyone has the similar experience
