Not that I’ve ever been at all disappointed with any iPhone display. This will lose some of the top and bottom of the video and will highlight the Face ID notch, but I generally find it a worthwhile compromise.īut the screen with its new OLED display technology 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio does look superb – the best I’ve seen on any iPhone yet. The new 18.5:9 ratio means that standard 16:9 YouTube videos will have significant black bars either side in landscape mode, although you can pinch the screen to “zoom to fill” the content. Zoom to fill unusual 18.5:9 screen in YouTube It also has the well documented notch for the Face ID camera, which isn’t a problem in portrait mode, but intrusive in landscape mode.

Display, Face ID and gesturesĪlthough billed as the biggest iPhone screen, the 5.8″ display is narrower and has a little less surface area than the iPhone 8 Plus and all previous Plus models for that matter. It’s slippery in the hand – I prefer to use it with the Apple leather case and for added security an Anker glass screen protector. It’s small compared to my iPhone 6 Plus, and it feels a little heavier, but the weight is about the same – it’s just a bit denser. The phone itself is beautifully designed and the build quality is excellent. Included are the standard Apple EarPods with a Lightning connector, and you also get a Lightning to 3.5mm adaptor so you can connect any set of headphones or indeed a microphone. So despite the iPhone 10 being one of their first generation of phones to support fast and wireless charging, you’ll have to purchase both separately.Īt first glance it may look like you get a set of wireless headphones, but that’s just clever packaging and wishful thinking. As discussed in my article on fast charging, Apple still only supply the slow 5W 1A charger. The packaging is up to Apple’s usual high standards, but the supplied accessories are disappointing. First impressions Apple EarPods with Lightning connector The iPhone X has a new 5.8″ HDR OLED screen, face recognition, is waterproof to IP67, has a wide angle and short telephoto lens both with image stabilisation, supports wireless charging and has the latest and greatest A11 bionic processor. I’ve had the latest iPhone from Apple for almost 3 months now, so plenty of time to determine whether its worth its £1000 or $1000 price tag, to me at least.
