Review: Why The iPhone X Is The Worst iPhone ever

Review: Why The iPhone X Is The Worst iPhone ever


After several weeks of using Apple’s new flagship device I’m ready to get rid of it and switch back to my old iPhone 6 Plus or my new favorite Android phone, the Huawei Mate 10 Pro.
The funny thing is that almost all of these ire-inducing "quirks" stem from Apple's redesign of the iPhone X, which removed the home button and installed a bunch of swipes and taps to cover all navigation bases.

Bleh battery life

If you're switching from an older iPhone with battery life that can barely hobble through a single day (especially if Apple did this), the iPhone X is a fantastic upgrade. At least at first.

The iPhone X will last longer than your old iPhone, but not as long as a $1,000 handset should.

After two months, I noticed a steep battery decline. Of course your charge will take a hit every time you stream music or video, or use navigation. That's life with a phone. But even on days when I didn't engage these things, I found myself topping up the power reserves before going out for the night, unconvinced my phone would make it through the evening activities.
When you live on your phone -- texting, looking up stuff online, reading e-books -- that uncertainty makes the difference between a device you can trust and one you have to constantly manage.
iOS isn't always convenient or intuitive, but it's rewarding if you own a Mac.
There's also iMessage, which is actually a lot more than just being able to text from your Mac or iPad. With iMessage, you can send your blue bubble friends full-res media (yes, even video), play games, send those ridiculous Animoji, and even send and receive money through Apple Pay. Of course, you can also see when someone has read your text, as well as when they're typing a response.
Oh, and since there's no home button anymore, there's also no fingerprint sensor. You'll need to get used to using Face ID instead, which means you won't be able to sneakily unlock your phone during class or meetings anymore. It isn't quite as fast as Touch ID on the iPhone 8, but it still works extremely well, even in complete darkness. Just be mindful that, like Samsung's iris recognition on the Galaxy S8, it runs into trouble in direct sunlight, at which point you'll likely need to revert to your PIN.
Aside from the notch, the easiest way to identify an iPhone X over older models is by looking at the dual camera module, which has shifted from a lateral to a vertical orientation. As for the cameras themselves, you're looking at a 12MP f/1.8 wide lens and a 12MP f/2.4 2x zoom lens. Both lenses feature OIS, providing stability for handheld photos and videos, you can even shoot in 4K at a whopping 60fps.
The iPhone X produces warm, beautiful photos — as long as you're not shooting in Portrait Mode.
The camera software is pretty basic, without any form of manual controls. Just a few shooting modes to choose from, including Photo, Video, Slow-Mo, Time-Lapse, Portrait, Square, and Panorama. You can toggle flash, Live Photos, and a three or ten second timer, but that's about the extent of your options. That's sort of okay though, because the iPhone X takes some pretty stellar photos on its own.
