Description

Marking the iPhone's 10th anniversary, the Apple iPhone X is easily the most advanced iPhone yet. Its stand-out design feature is the HDR-capable OLED display strethcing from edge to edge, while the back is made of glass instead of metal to allow wireless charging. Instead of a traditional fingerprint scanner, the iPhone X uses Face ID facial recognition, while navigation gestures compensate for the lack of a home button. The dual camera at the back allows for 2X optical zoom, and Portrait mode with studio lighting effects is available both when taking selfies and regular photos. iOS 11 runs on it out of the box, introducing augmented reality applications, a redesigned App Store, a new Control Center layout, and a number of UI refinements.

This device is also known as Apple A1901, Apple A1865

This is a great phone for me.

Posted: Jul 21, 2022, 1:27 PM

Phone owned for less than a year

This phone is definetely not new to me, it is almost 5 years old, but with being that old it is still pretty good for it's price. Yes, you do have a notch, you don't have a big battery, and maybe you don't even have Pro features which we've come to expect in 2022. But overall, it is still a great phone for me.

Phone owned for more than a year

There are only a few changes made. For the more recent iPhone models, they just added in some small changes and add in more cameras. For example, the iPhone X has 2 cameras while the iPhone 11 pro has 3 cameras.
