Apple iPhone X long-term review

18 January 2018
The introduction of Face ID and the removal of the Home button has resulted in a paradigm shift in the way we interact with our iPhones. Three of us have been using the iPhone X since launch and this long-term review covers what the iPhone X is like to live with on a day to day basis and we are ready to answer what's good and what's bad about it from a different perspective.

The iPhone X is the best smartphone in the world for quality and reliability along with the best value.
It beats out the rest of the smartphone to date.

          I encountered a seller for iphone x Korean made. Are those units considered legit?

            Like I always said elsewhere, it's overpowered SoC means nothing if the software cannot make most of it. CPU bound scenarios are rarely found on smartphone use cases (unless you're a vlogger and you prefer editing and rendering directly on smartphone, of course), even it's hindered by bad UX. That's why I don't care no matter how good Apple SoC in benchmark apps, it won't be able to replicate rich experiences that Android gives.

              I like your long term review - day to day niggles & irritating aspects. I was very tempted by the advanced camera aspects but having to constantly use face ID for operationbhas defjnitely put me off.

                Best Phone Award: Samsung Galaxy S9 and The People's Choice Award: Samsung Galaxy S9.
                "More than a match for Apple's iPhone X, as well as every other Android device on the market, the Samsung Galaxy S9 was the star product of Mobile World Congress 2018."

                              And if I'm correct, I believe FaceID don't work on identical twins with exactly the same face...…..but it's impossible for two people to have the same fingerprint...….I think fingerprint scanner is better than FaceID

                                    I am kind of control-freak and more comfortable with the phone that I can customize as much as I want, which is definitely not iphone upon which apple has strict permission to customize.

                                      Anonymous, 27 Feb 2018Why would you want to unlock your phone with a photo of you... moredude, are you serious? Android is high maintenance? or are you just one of those who has very little knowledge on how to use Android? why are you going so far when I'm merely speaking of the FP vs Face ID? when or where did I mention unlocking with a pic? did you forget that a 10yo unlocked his mom's IPX via Face ID? I can't have an iPhone? I used most of the iPhones side by side with my Androids, so I think, I THINK I can at least give my 2 cents about this. and saying that Android can't be used for professional users with real jobs? what the heck are you trying to say? what's a 'real' job? are you discriminating people based on their salary range? or?? that itself is stupid enough man...
