Apple iPhone X: What is not that good?

While this phone is stylish, it will also be a hard phone to maintain. Since there is glass on both sides, you have double the chance of wrecking this device. Even though it has the ‘strongest glass ever on a phone’, we know that has never come in the way of an expensive phone ending up with a cheap crack on the front. Also, a good indicator of this fact is the first-ever Apple Folio cover, which is not that practical.

Long time Apple users might struggle a bit, at least initially because they no longer have the power button they are so used to. However, the gestures Apple has launched with this device seem much more natural that using a button. So much so that you will struggle going back to a button based UI. Still there are some new things users will need to learn to understand this phone better.

While the iPhone X has a stellar display, it has a quirk too. The front camera rig sort of eats into the display. So if you are trying to watch a movie or video on full screen, the content wrapping around the camera might irritate you a bit. Thankfully there is the option of playing the video within the regular screen area, though that is not what you are paying a premium for.

Apple iPhone X: Should you buy

Yes, if you are upgrading from an iPhone version that is more than 18 months old, don’t really need a large phone in your hand and can actually afford the price tag. This is clearly the best Apple iPhone available at the moment. It is also the most innovative Apple has been in a while and I would buy the phone just for the convenience of the FaceID. However, this is a phone you will have to care for every second of the day and don’t want to drop due to carelessness.
