it's almost been a year since the iPhone 10 came out and presumably were a few weeks away from its successor heading so for out the past ten months I've had the iPhone 10 in my pocket that I deal e phone or a secondary phone so I've gotten to know it quite a bit what's gone well with it what's been disappointing about it so as we are now almost at the end of life on the iPhone 10 I thought we could look back and kind of do a final review with it so there are a couple of big features that were touted when the iPhone 10 launched the big one is the knotch and with the notch came that new design you guys like to say looks like my haircut when knotch first came out I was a bit thrown back by it it was kind of a new design something new to see a certainly essential had a notch there before just the first time we seen one that large and it was more glaring and more jarring the first few months that I used it you know watching video when I would expand to full screen I was very aware that it was there three or four months in though the knotch became a very bless of an issue for me perhaps I don't watch that many cinematic movies on my phone where I would see the notch and see the content get cut off but I've really stopped and noticing it and I really haven't thought about it until a new phone comes out that symbol seems to look almost identical to it with that notch the big feature of the iPhone 10 brought was face ID and I think I'm in the minority of liking face ID I think I like the convenience of face ID in practice it certainly hasn't been perfect I think touch ID was definitely more of a absolute science let's say it worked more reliably than face ID but I really like the convenience with the one caveat being when it's on a table you can't just like look down it you got to pick up your phone and have it see your face those are small trade-offs that I'm willing to make others in the office though wish touch ID in some form would come back the best use case that I've seen for face ID is with third-party authentication if we're using password apps like one password for example I love being able to use my face and access my information I don't think about it the concerns that I had when face Eddy first launched was could it be spoofed we tried it with a mask is it gonna work in the dark I've had no issues at all with the dark and actually gotten better at software updates have gotten better even when I'm on my side in bed it's been able to unlock that sunglasses no issue but again that's my experience my wife has had a lot of problems wearing sunglasses just take her sunglasses off to unlock her iPhone 10 so your experiences definitely might vary there the design was also a big deal with the iPhone 10 as Apple's first kind of all screen design and I'm so extremely impressed they were able to almost bend the glass and bend the display so you don't have that chin that we've seen plagued a lot of Android manufacturers and I like that I still really like the design the iPhone 10 is also slightly thicker than what we've seen about the iPhone 7 or the iPhone 8 along with it I don't mind that extra thickness but presumably it's for the battery inside and I haven't noticed any battery changed at all from really my first week of using it to now you know almost 10 months and batteries been really good for me and again I don't watch that much video when I watch videos really drains it faster my dealer use buy time I get home I've got about 40% battery life left I'm pretty heavy on social media and that kind of stuff so I could easily say it's a day and a half er which is something really important for me especially when I'm traveling that's where something like the iPhone 10 has been really good in the battery life Department so the other new thing that the iPhone 10 brought in was gesture control it was a little bit weird the first few months there's definitely a learning curve but it's become definitely second nature now when I use an iPhone 8 iPhone 7 or anything that came out before by myself trying to swipe up and swipe down I think Apple absolutely nailed the gestures with the iPhone 10 it's an all glass phone especially an expensive all glass phone makes me super nervous and I got two kids at home their consulate grabbing the phone out of my hand so I've opted for some form of protection for the iPhone 10 I bought Apple care to go with it just as a safety net but I have had a case on it all the time the case is not on it I always got a D brand skin on the back please make sure the back is protected they got a ton of customization options so if you're sick of the space gray or you want to make your phone look different you could pick one got a yellow carbon fiber here makes it stand out it's easy to find when it's on a table I really like the option gives the protection the back - you guys are interesting you want to pick up a D brand skin maybe you want to go yellow on your phone cuz apples never gonna release yellow or you want to make your own red iPhone 10 pull you to them all down below but I think perhaps the biggest feature and the reason that I tend to just keep using the iPhone 10 or at least have it with me in conjunction with an Android phone is the camera and there's an old saying the best camera is the one that you have with you and I've been really impressed with the camera from the iPhone 10 I think overall as a whole it's not quite as feature complete as something you get with the pixel - or pixel to excel but it has worked really well in almost every usage the pictures are always some form of good very rarely do we get a picture and look at it just go ooh that looks oversaturated or I can see a ton of artifacting pictures generally just look good so it might not be the best camera in the market it does everything really well I still have issues with iOS iOS 12 included things I wish that were there I wish Apple would do differently but I knew those shortcomings going into using the phone I wish there was more customization options I knew that and I've kind of accepted that that's the case maybe iOS 13 next year will will change that although I'm not holding my breath but overall I've enjoyed the iPhone 10 and I'm surprising the features I thought that I was gonna most excited about the things like having wireless charging and an emoji I've used very little and what's been a big selling point and keeps bringing me back to the iPhone 10 has been battery life and the camera that'd be kind of fun to revisit the iPhone 10 a final review and share which changed since the phone initially launched if you guys liked this final revisited let us know in the comments down below give the video a thumbs up and of course the subscribe button notification bell so you get notified when new videos are coming your way if YouTube doesn't notify people that much anymore hope you guys enjoyed till next time John Ranger from Texas
