So after a preorder fiasco and my initial reservations about switching to the new iPhone X (was 100% not interested) I actually had a cancelled order that somehow was reordered automatically by apple. I called to cancel it but it actually changed status to shipped right before I called so I had to wait to receive it to send it back. I decided to try it out for two weeks and see how I like it.

First thoughts:
FaceID to unlock is a little slow but I’ve only been playing with it for about an hour.

Imore needs to update their app

The screen is pretty nice, don’t really notice the notch too much but we will see how it progresses.

This thing is tiny compared to my 7plus. I’ll have to get used to it’s size.

Gesture controls, honestly I like them a lot already. It seems pretty natural, closing out apps is fast and switching between them isn’t bad either.

I also like the new default ringtone.

Haven’t played with the camera or anything like that yet.

Anyone have any suggestions on what I should check out next?

Congratulations on your new iPhone X, I have had mine since launch day and I have no regrets moving up from my iPhone 8.

As I have said many times on the forums the more I use the device, the more I like it. Enjoy your new phone.
