Apple iPhone X Review: The Future of the Smartphone?

2017-12-23
ten years of iphone is not just ten years of iPhone but also a decade for the modern smartphone at this point younger generations have no clue just how much smartphones changed after 2007 navigation buttons and keyboards were killed in favor of slimmer designs and multi-touch controls and that was the primary first step into how everything has evolved until today about the only problem is that Hardware grew stale the game transformed into more of a war of ecosystems every other iPhone after the first was more of an iteration sure they got larger far more powerful and brought new features all details will provide in this chart on our website but the primary reason for the love of Loyalists than the pan of power users was that if you placed an iPhone on a table it was really hard to tell this newer iPhone apart from the older one this is one of the main reasons why the iPhone 10 is so important never has Apple deviated from the things that made an iPhone and iPhone so much this is really the first time that visual iteration makes a jump to visual innovation and Tim Cook's words the future of the smart but the question is of this first step is good enough to define how the future of smartphone should be I'm high mentally that with pocket now and this is our iPhone 10 review brought to you by D brand if I could describe the iPhone 10 in a word I think that different would suit at best I spent the first week trying to press a home button that no longer existed and that every smartphone has these days the radius curves now extended the display which has now shrunk the bezels almost entirely the stainless steel trim in the glass are now shaped to evoke seamless integration between each other and I'm glad I chose Space Gray as it lends to a darker tint in the overall finish in the hand this phone feels heavier than it looks and also feels smaller than it looks as well my problems with the designer obviously that the glass is a fingerprint magnet which is where I'd recommend that you use a D brand skin as a solution I'm also not a fan of this camera hump that has become quite the lint magnet given the sharp borders it almost makes it seem like if this phone was designed to be used with the case and wear leather is so far one of my favorite alternatives if you came here to hear complaints about the knotch you've come to the wrong place sure it looks like a mall if you're watching a video in full-screen but I'd prefer the knotch anyday in a smaller form factor over the last 10 years of huge bezels see what makes the iPhone 10 special is that it's nearly all display this 5.8 inch OLED panel is the most dense that Apple has ever provided it's also vibrant inaccurate and the miniscule black bezel along with the stereo speakers lend to a very immersive experience consuming content and then tucked inside we have almost the same specifications of the iPhone 8 plus meaning yes this phone is very powerful we have the same a11 Bionic chip with three gigs of ram and my unit is of 64 gigs of storage there's ip67 water in this resistance qi wireless charging bluetooth 5 and about everything else you'd ask from a flagship except for the headphone jack which I feel that we should just give up on when it comes to Apple i OS 11 on the iPhone 10 has proven to be a very interesting transition there are still old elements like the forgettable grid of icons you can still swipe to the left from the launcher for widgets you can still use 3d touch for contextual menus even if these are still inconsistent the death of the home button brings some benefits and some odd choices for design I love swiping up to get home from any app as it feels like if you're throwing the application back in the launcher makes sense I love switching applications with a simple swipe to the left or right even if the ripe app switching is not always available or only last for a few seconds oh and to call other applications make a flipped L which is quicker than swiping up and holding at first this learning curve was a pain but after a week I found a lot of common sense in it even the shiny home button indicator is a cool addition which can even lead to some smiley faces depending on which app you're using the things I don't like her the weird choices like having the home button icon flip around if you're watching a video which can lead to a ton of confusion or the status icons at the top which don't seem aligned waste space and don't show all the information you want and whoever came up with this idea of swiping from the top left for notifications in the top right for control center like seriously and then the app status continues to get better as I've noticed more services adapting to the iPhone 10 screen real estate but essentials like Google are still lagging behind than a few applications like inbox which I care about a lot overall I guess the best way to describe the software experience is that it's still a work in progress and yes I do have to agree this is the longest I've ever tested a phone now clocking nearly six weeks in New York City on Lunas Hawaii California and New Orleans you name it the season has just been too crazy so far I'm not much of a fan of using this phone for calls as they aren't as loud as I'm used to with iPhones and I've even noticed the not interference from the earpiece in certain areas though they work just fine over the speaker face ID is one of those things I'd never thought I'd get used to but I have I love how you can get notifications to only show the content once the phone has unlocked and I also love that face ID even works from a minor angle those n emojis are sadly not something I ever used again after my honeymoon period but I'm sure they're fun to use at least for some of you things I do use every now and then our a our kit applications I love how they provide added convenience --iz and being able to measure things or test products with ease this is one of those features that I feel this pointing in the right direction along with just how well this phone performs whether it's gliding through menus are playing games the experiences extremely fluid I just wish my experience with battery life was just this good but sadly it's not our own Anton D nage has achieved full days on a charge without a problem but my unit sadly scratches a day of use and I think it has everything to do with the fact that this phone is sporting an Intel modem and not a qualcomm modem as users have been able to verify and then there's the camera iPhones are usually devices you can trust for all auto photography and the iPhone 10 is almost at the top of the food chain second only to the pixel to excel great results during the day with great saturation and detail even if a tad overexposed in some cases though like photography is also top-notch leading to some of the best photos I've shared on Instagram lately about the only thing that I cannot recommend about this phone in any way is portrait mode either this phone doesn't lighten my natural highlights or it just has a very hard time detecting hair or items like glass which are completely muted seriously if devices like the pixel 2 wouldn't exist then this could probably be acceptable but this is one beta that Apple really needs to work on what I'm very impressed about is video you may not get the manual controls you get from an LG be 30 but the resulting clips from this phone don't make you really ask for them details are great stabilization is great and this is still one of the only devices not just phones capable of 4k video at 60 frames per second and 1080p slow-motion video at 240 frames per second I just wish that the selfie camera would have this same stabilization for video but at least Apple is offering a wider crop now making this camera good enough for vlogging this is also the first time that I'm able to survive with entry-level storage on an iPhone Apple support for HEV C makes both photo and video storage a breeze and I love how applications I don't use are offloaded until I need them overall I'm gonna have to admit that I have more positive things to say about the iPhone 10 the negative I usually never recommend first generation Apple products given my horrible sob stories with products like the first Apple watch or the first retina MacBook Pro I thought the story would repeat itself with the iPhone 10 but it really hasn't the iPhone 10 may not be as revolutionary as the first iPhone and defining the basis for how a smartphone should operate but I also cannot say that the first iPhone was as great when it launched as the iPhone 10 this is definitely a great smartphone that'll turn heads no matter where you go and that's very reliable overall is it worth $1000 no especially when you've got almost the same internals on a different chassis with the iPhone plus it's when you dilute the payments into installments that I do agree with my buddy David Cogan and that an extra $6 a month for all this makes the decision a little more compelling the iPhone 10 may not be the best smartphone of 2017 but it is ahead of the curve in a couple of things it is definitely the coolest iPhone ever made and also one of the coolest phones I've used in 2017 hands down and if you'd like to make this fingerprint magnet of an iPhone 10 even cooler deeper and
