  1. All of apples phones are still amazing from the 3 to the 10 still know people who still ise the iphone 6 i myself had an iphone xs but it got stolen sadly using an galaxy s8 have an iphone x 256gb on its way from amazon ios is far better then android as well

  2. I like my iPhone X a lot. I also like Face ID a lot as well; it's not perfect, but it is close. I expect future IOS updates will address any problems with Face ID and/or any other issues the X may now have. I haven't missed the Home Button since day one of use.

    I've always put cases on my iPhones. My X is now wearing a Mous Leather Case. Mous Cases give me great drop protection, nice hand grip and good lay on the table grip I can easily recommend the X with a Whitestone Dome Screen Protector and a Mous Protective Case. IMO, the best deserves the best..

  3. How can you possible say it's the best designed iPhone with that hideous notch lmao. It's absolutely one of the most poorly designed. The only thing that looks good is the polished steel look. iPhone X is trash.

  4. BlackBerry 10 software was the first to come out with all these swipe gestures 4 years ago. I’ve owned almost every blackberry phone and this new iPhone 10 is amazing because I get apples software with all of blackberry 10’s swipe gestures. This is the the greatest phone to date ever!!!!

  5. Again, to enter into app switching just make an arching swipe up from the bottom left to open quickly.
    Hold the app for a second to enter closing mode then swipe up (you don't have to tap the red dot) and you can swipe multiple apps at once using 2 or 3 fingers

  6. 1 make notch flush w/ phkne

    2 make it cheaper

    3 finger print scanner underglass

    4 let us swipe up to close apps

    5 make apple logo light up or be a finger print scanner

  7. I like the iPhone X. It’s the first iPhone I’ve wanted so I thought I would set my G4 to one side and use my daughters old 6s to find out what IOS is like – and I was impressed. I didn’t like having a physical home button and found the keyboard a little too small to use reliably. However, both of those issues would go away for me with the iPhone X. However, one thing that I really can’t get used to is the lack of a notification LED. My G4 is set up so I can walk back into a room and know if I have messages without having to pick it up or waste battery power lighting up a screen. The LED colour even tells me what type of message it is and some I will respond to right away. After over a week using the 6s, this is still an issue for me. Sure, I can have notifications displayed while the phone is locked – but that is insecure and anyone could read them.
    Why has Apple been so stubborn on this feature? The cost of adding an LED would be miniscule and it would remain hidden from view until it was illuminated. For those who really don’t like it – and there are a few who would throw themselves off a cliff at the thought, the LED could easily be disabled using settings. To me it’s a no-brainer in terms of design and would ensure that a ‘top-of-the-range’ mobile phone would cover all the bases.
    Perhaps, now that we have an OLED screen, someone will write an app which lights a few pixels to emulate the LED – or better?
    I will carry on using the 6s for a few more weeks and then decide on the X. Incidentally, the screen notch isn’t an issue at all for me. In fact, I kind of like it.

  8. This was really good. I LOVE the size of the phone. I had the 7+ and 8+ and those screens were too big but I wanted the camera. Now with the 10 I have the phone I want with no compromises.

  9. Too much wa wa waaaa!!!!!!! You know you love it and its amazing……… wipe up to tears and grow up!!!     I luv your videos !!! By the way
    …..Baby Cry Review!!!!

  10. It is a bit misleading to say FaceID is faster. It is not faster than TouchID, not yet. It just feels way more natural in some situations, like you said, while using Safari to login to something and so on. The next generations of FaceID maybe faster, but this one is definitely not.

  11. it is for an i sheep you pay way too much for not much more apple could have got a way better screen as it is one of the lowest quality oled screen that Samsung make . and the phone is $1000 +tax in the us and the rest of the world it is almost $2000 or more . I would like there phones if they removed the camera bump put a way bigger battery like twice the size and gave it real quick charging and that it came with it out of the box . but then i could go on all day what it would take for me to buy a i phone 10 . but then i could get two phones that are just as great or better for the same money .

  12. Really the only thing I do not understand is the 9×18 aspect ratio, when you watch a movie on the phone and you “ pinch to expand” it cuts the ratio.
