There’s no headphone jack, which continues to suck on every phone that omits it, but that’s the price you pay for a bezel-less screen with a notch at the top. We also took reader questions and tried to answer as many of them as we could. The first version of this review was based on a single long, intense day of testing the phone, and we updated it a few days later after we tested performance and battery life, did a camera comparison, and generally lived with the iPhone X in a more realistic way. And with big changes come big risks.Īpple gave most reviewers less than 24 hours with the iPhone X before allowing us to talk about it.

Apple’s asking users to change a decade’s worth of habits, which is a big change. I got a lot of questions about the iPhone X as I wrote this review, and I did my best to answer as many of them as I could.

It wants it to be the beginning of a new generation of iPhones. It wants the iPhone X to be more than just the new iPhone. But Apple wants this to be the beginning of the next 10 years. For the last few years, we've said some variation of 'it's a new iPhone' when we’ve reviewed these devices. New iPhones and major changes usually command a ton of hype, and Apple’s pushing the hype level around the iPhone X even higher than usual, especially given the new thousand-dollar starting price point. That means some fundamental aspects of the iPhone are totally different here - most notably, the home button and fingerprint sensor are gone, replaced by a new system of navigation gestures and Apple’s new Face ID unlocking system.

Apple says it’s a complete reimagining of what the iPhone should be, 10 years after the original revolutionized the world. After months of hype, endless speculation, and a wave of last-minute rumors about production delays, the iPhone X is finally here.
