iPhone X Reviews

[NDA]

For all those who get their hands on one on launch day.... let's hear what you think of them.

[AJB88]

nobody is going to say...


Got it the other day and meh its rubbish, it will be the best thing since sliced bread for everybody who has forked out £999+ on it.

[Jonesy23]

Did anyone actually buy one though?

[NDA]

It will be interesting to hear people's impressions - there might be some negatives....

Why not? Assuming it was bought from a UK carrier or Apple direct, my understanding is that you have the right to return it within 14 days. I got an iPhone 7 + and did exactly that as I found it too big and not much of a step up from the 6s.

I've ordered it and pick it up tomorrow; I will hold on to my iPhone 7 during the return period just in case it's not for me.

I will report back tomorrow night; I might even do an unboxing video

I look forward to hearing about it.

Also how restoring from a back up goes - my 6 to my 7 didn't work terribly well.

Come on, someone must have one by now.

[HantsRat]

I got one. Nothing special. My Galaxy S6 had these features 3 years ago.

How's the face unlock?

It worked well in normal light and low light. But I don't like face unlock so disabled it. I'm a dinosaur and prefer pin unlock.

Surely you knew that when (if) you bought it ?! I wasn't expecting a response quite so enthusiastic

It should work in complete darkness shouldn't it? It uses infrared?

Face unlock was available on the Galaxy S2. I never bothered with it.

I'm happy with fingerprint unlock.

I don't think the old G2 technology is anything like the FaceID technology in fairness.

I certainly hope not.

@ "FaceID" "technology" though.

I didn't buy it. Was a freebie.

That wasn't what I meant, it was the concept of using face recognition rather than the tech behind it. It worked on the S2 but I couldn't be bothered with it, I don't even think the later phones have it.

It should yes

So where did you get a freebie iPhone X from HantsRat?

I had loads and I mean loads of problems with Vodafone. Went pretty much all the way to the top with regards to a bill that was issued in error for thousands. They sweetened the deal by giving me a free iPhone X + A new contract with 50% off.
