Purchased one and am loving it so far. Interested what little quirks everyone else has noticed that I may not be aware of. Good and bad. Pros: - Flashing green banner in-call is now sequestered to the upper left corner behind the clock. This allows me to freely snap-to-top by pressing high center while browsing. On other models, the banner is active across the entire top edge, and would simply switch you back to the call screen. - Seems that control center lets me customize and add as many switches as I’d like. (Is this now on all latest-generation iPhones?) - OLED display outperforms iPhone LED backlit screens in terms of brightness. Excellent outdoors. Neutral / Just Plain Weird: - Snapchat’s viewfinder screen now freezes when in the app switcher. It stayed live (serving no purpose, but novel nonetheless) on my 6S, even when partially hidden behind other apps. Cons: - Rounded edges of the screen sometimes obscure half of the “X” to close ads when placed in a corner. Apps aren’t always built around the top indention in the screen. WiPry, for example, has critical text obscured because of this. - No battery percentage, not even an overlay on the icon, at first glance. Requires swipe down. - Charging dreadfully slow, even with iPad charger. Considering USB-C but not sure if it will be any better. - App switcher makes you target a tiny (X) to close. Could have easily been flick-up-to-kill. And only works half the time. Occasionally will simply exit the app launcher instead, even when you’re dead on target.
The usb c charger allows you fast charging. It charges way faster. Mine gets done in an hour. However shame that they don’t provide the fast charger with the phone!
I traveled with it for 10 days and returned it. I got it before the trip since I liked the idea of a new camera that’d take good pictures. - Screen is smaller than the plus and even though marginally so it was hard for me to give up the space. - Battery didn’t last full day and it was def slow to charge - UI is clearly overloaded - that different things roll down when you swipe down from the left of the notch vs the right is ridiculous All my past five phones are iPhones but I went back to the 6S Plus that I had and I’m happy enough. The X was clearly not worth the 1k, let alone the higher price for 256g.
Some really good points here. I used to have a 6S Plus as a field technician. A charge would last all day. Phone calls, app-intensive dispatching, and navigation.
Regarding flick to kill apps, once you have the red x in the corner you can actually flick up to kill them, you don’t have to actually tap the red x.
No complaint. It's a top notch product.
Holding onto my 6s until Xs (?) comes out
Weighs a ton!
Slightly heavy!
Sometimes buttons in apps don’t work. Have had it happen in Blind, GMaps, Reddit, others...
Love mine. Screen and no bezel just feels/looks right. It is solid/heavy but I like that. Bit far to reach with my tiny hands. Price sucks. Face ID is 90% there.
No headphone jack, make it a useless shiny toy. No idea why anyone would pay money for this POS. 🍆
The pixel 2 also did away with it.
Courage is contagious, I guess? 🍆
