Hi guys.

My last post was on the iPhone 8 on 22 Sept 2017. Link here.

Today, I'm back with the unboxing of the much awaited iPhone X.

My usual caveat applies - sorry if the photos are crap. I’ll let the photos do the rest of the talking. Hope you enjoy it.

Note the box art is different for different models. The one on the left is the Silver unit and the one on the right is the Space Grey. Also, the box art bulges slightly to give it a "3D" feel.

The standard inlays. The quick start notes now provides basic introduction to the new swipe actions and button combos.

That's all for now. Hope you enjoyed it. Until the next time .....

Nice! On the back just have the word Iphone only right? Saw those UK and Euro units have other info below the Iphone wording. If I have the chance, will get the silver model.

No, I believe the casings will protect the camera bulge.

Thanks. Yes, just the word "iPhone" on the back. These are Hong Kong units, just in case you'd like to know.

No, most iPhone X casing would factor this in and wrap around the lens. Photos above of the casing are good examples.

Initial thoughts on the X after about one day of use.

Love the OLED screen.

Love the extra real estate on the larger screen.

Battery life seems better.

Larger and heftier (heavier) than what I've been used to (previous iPhones).

The loss of the Home button takes some getting used to.

The new gestures and swipes takes some getting used to.

I particularly dislike how we now close background apps.

No longer as thumb friendly as previously, due to the larger screen. Can't reach end to end of the screen with my thumb. And I have relatively large hands. Especially so since the new swipes requires stretching to the bottom left/right and top left/right.

Have not played with Face ID and new camera modes.

Will share more impressions later.

Do you like it without the home button? IMO, the home button is really the thing that makes the iphone so amazingly intuitive. In a sense that I don't have to know anything about it to learn how to use it. Like how there is no app drawer on an iPhone vs android.

But then iPhone isn't exactly new like it was ten years ago. So some changes isn't too bad.

doubt so, people wouldn't buy casings that don't cover the camera.

Thanks for sharing, good to read review from actual owners.

I think apple is going backwards with the new way of closing background apps. Btw do share more on day to day battery life when you have use it for a few more days, interested to know.

“No longer as thumb friendly as previously, due to the larger screen. “

I thought it will be more thumb friendly due to the bezelless design. I mean it’s harder to hold ?
