Coming from the 7plus(excellent phone) I was kind of a little dubious at first. But I am really enjoying the X ,pretty neat and the face rec works better than expected. Can always add a home button easy enough if prefer to keep some things we have got use to ,over the last decade!
Its been a bad month, Madison dropped her new iPhone in the pond, then her second a week later got left on holiday. 1st place we stopped it went missing, 3hrs total travel and searching with (won't)find my phone, 2 phones within a week gone!.
What at I don't like is no full stop on keyboard as I type,need to click the 123 for it. Then screen is narrower than the 7 plus, of course longer. Like the full screen though and 4K 60fps option. I don't like the way you get rid of open apps, swipe up and hold, then press hold on one to bring up a red X to then close. Swiping up was far easier, apparently to be addressed in next update . I do like the smaller size though, tad bigger than 6/7 yet smaller than the plus with larger screen(in length anyway).
As as with great success, an otter box prada case is looking after it. It lasted 2yrs on my plus, and very good protection.(touch wood).
