My Take on the iPhone X

[msm0511]

Are videos full screen? In store today, on the unit I handled, there were rather large black bezels in landscape playback. Is the normal or is it configurable? I’d like to use my full, OLED, edge to edge display.

You should just be able to double tap on the screen to expand to fullscreen. It doesn't work in all apps yet though.

Zooming into video crops it. Since the aspect ratios (physical display, video content) don't match, that is the only way to go full screen without distorting the video.

My only complaint is the volume when receiving a call. Seriously can barely here it ringing.

Yeah, I know. She wanted to know how to have video fill the entire display though. That's how you would do it. Same thing with every 2:1 display.

Indeed.

Indeed.

I downloaded Deadpool b/c I already bought it on iTunes just to check out some video and it still looks really good even cropped. And I swear my X is louder than my 8.

Well you can either have it on or turn it off. I turned it off, hate the yellowish tint

Like i said you can take the yellow out in display accommodations, try it.

Oh ok I see under the accessibility. Kind of hard to tinker with. I just shut true tone off and like it off a lot better

I was able to adapt quickly with the new gesture on iPhone 10 and I’m really liking it. I don’t miss the home button or the Touch ID. Face ID is much faster and easier to use especially for those apps that already adapted the technology. This is coming from an iPhone user since the original iPhone 2007. I have never used another phone.

Reachability is also giving me some grief. I also suspect that the case has something to do with it. Luckily, the phone is thin enough where I would rarely need it.
