The iPhone X- My Experience
Intro
- Had it for exactly one month as of today
- Short version: I like it and it’s my iPhone favorite ever!
Precontext: Every iPhone before this has had the exact same design. This one is very different
- More screen space
- The diagonal measurement of the screen is .2 inches bigger than the iPhone 8 plus.
- With that, come a lot of new features
- Huge fundamental changes that you need to learn
The look
- Small Bezels
- Notch
- I wish there was a bigger option
- Rumors
- SOO Shiny
- Glossy (Especially the white one)
- Glass, naturally very reflective
Great things about it
- Water resistant
- Wireless Charging
- Good speakers
- No headphone jack (clear throat)
Downsides
- The most breakable iPhone ever!
- Glass on both sides
- Small phone
- Very slippery
- Tim Cook was sitting down talking and the phone fell out of his pocket
- The Camera bump
- THE NOTCH
- Once you have the phone for a while, you don’t really notice
- You have to put the stuff somewhere
- They could have put a fingerprint reader on the back but too samsung
- They could have put a fingerprint reader under the glass which they were rumored to be doing
- They could have invented something entirely new that would have blown our minds away
- The notch is good
- All apps are optimized for the X that are made by Apple however some apps need to redesign their dimensions for the X to optimize for better viewing
- However, pretty much every mainstream app has already done this so no big deal if you just use those
- More on that later
- The Display
- Super Retina (Marketing tactic)
- First OLED ever (thank god)
- Oled is a light-emitting diode containing thin flexible sheets of an organic electroluminescent material, used for visual displays. Basically, they deliver great resolution and deep colors while also saving power.
- P3 Color Gamit
- HDR
- TrueTone (Adapts to color around you and optimizes display accordingly)
- With this display, they had to sacrifice the home button
- Now, it’s all gestures
- Swipe up from bar to go home
- Swipe up and to the right to view multi window menu
- Swipe down from the right corner for control center
- Swipe down from the notch to get to notification center
- Swipe down from the middle to get to search
- A lot of new stuff but easy to get used to
Now back to the notch
- Got rid of Home button, how to unlock?
- Face ID
- Works well most of the time
- Can’t be fooled except for twins
- Pretty fast
- More secure
- According to Apple, 1 in 50,000 people with Touch ID, 1 in 1,000,000
- Still recognizes you if you grow a beard, put makeup on change your hair, etc
- Works well in dark. Tested in pitch black
- With this, comes Animoji
- New lighting features with camera
- Portrait on front and back
- Still 10x zoom
- Tech specs
- Very powerful
- A11 Bionic Chip
- 3 GB of Ram
- Crazy
- Geekbenching close to MacBoox Pro speeds when pushed
- Neural Engine for security
- Helps with Augmented Reality
