All screen The Apple iPhone X has an extremely striking design. This is due to the front face being entirely screen, apart from a small area where the phone's cameras and sensors are placed. The screen precisely follows the contours and curves of the design, even at the rounded corners.

I'm a total gadget nerd, and it's been five years since a new smartphone made me nod to myself with the understanding that, "Yes, I need that thing more than I need air." But the buzz around the iPhone X has had me a little more hyped than usual.

The anniversary iPhone is here. The iPhone X. Or the iPhone 10. The name is as confusing as the product itself is game-changing. Tim Cook's vision finally overwhelmed Steve Jobs ideological remnants. A new dawn for the iPhones has begun, free of the iconic Home key and the notorious screen bezels.

The iPhone X is Apple's 10th anniversary iPhone. Announced at the same time as the iPhone 8 and the iPhone 8 Plus, but going on sale a little later, the device is Apple's flagship phone and features all of its latest camera technology.

The iPhone X sets the stage for Apple's next decade, with a sharp new design and a future focus on augmented reality.

Updated design; Powerful processor; Excellent screen; First-of-its-kind augmented reality front camera; Animoji are really fun

Very expensive; Apps need to be reprogrammed to take advantage of display; Not the fastest modem

By letting go of long-standing features such as a physical home button, Apple has brought its smartphone bang up to date. The X has the best screen of any iPhone, ever, and it looks the part too - even with that notch. FaceID works better than any other facial recognition system you’ll find on a phone right now (even if it’s not perfect), and the dual rear cameras take excellent photos - if not quite as natural or detailed as Google’s algorithm-assisted Pixel 2 XL. Beyond some cute face-tracking fun with emoji, though, the X doesn’t have many unique features you won’t also find on the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. Both get that fancy new A11 CPU and wireless charging, and neither forces you to relearn a load of gestures to get around iOS. They’re a hell of a lot cheaper, too. You’re paying a premium here for that bold new look, FaceID, and not much else. It’s not like that ever put anyone off buying an Apple product before, though, is it? If you want the best iPhone, you’re going to have to find the cash - the X has set the bar, and the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus just can’t jump high enough.

Gorgeous screen - even with the notch; Versatile camera takes great photos; Slick OS runs beautifully on powerful hardware;

Apps look odd without updates ; FaceID isn’t 100% accurate; Super expensive;

For Apple's most passionate loyalists—the ones who upgrade their iPhone once a year, possibly after waiting in line for hours on the sidewalk—there's a certain kind of magic about unboxing and setting up a new Apple device.

The new iPhone X unlocks with Face ID, has the largest display ever seen on an iPhone and dumps the home button - but it's just too pricey

Edge to edge display; Face ID is brilliant; Superb camera and screen

Too expensive

After a week of using the iPhone X, we can say with confidence that Apple has created a revolutionary and almost magical device. While it may not be as significant as the original iPhone, it introduces several new technologies that redefine the experience and move the needle significantly ahead.

Face ID is a game changer; New Super Retina OLED screen provides a whole new level of display quality; iPhone "Plus" dual-lens camera system in an iPhone 8-sized package; Wider aperture and OIS on 2X lens should provide better 2X photos.

The higher aspect ratio means the screen isn't actually larger than the iPhone Plus models, despite the larger diagonal; The front TrueDepth camera notch and rear camera bump detract from an otherwise great aesthetic; Lack of Touch ID makes Apple Pay slightly less convenient.

Nice phone, takes great photos, good battery life my only complaint is that no fast charging out the box, Apple charges over premium for this phone and can't even include accessories needed for full potential, you still need to spend over $50 to get fast charging working unacceptable at this price...
