Personal experience: what I think about the iPhone X after a month of using it

Editor in Chief TJournal Nikita Likhachev tested the new, acclaimed flagship of Apple's iPhone X, compared it with other popular phones and described his impressions in great detail.

After I talked about first impressions of iPhone X and about what it will take to get used to its customers, I have long refrained from a detailed description of my experience using a smartphone. At first I needed to figure it out and study everything, then get used to it. Later, there was news of faults: I tried to reproduce them in various ways - perhaps a little longer than they should, because nothing happened.

We are TJ pay much attention iPhone Xbecause it is really the first interesting generation of iPhones in many years. On account of it, it seems to me, the sixth: first was iPhone 2G, later 3G / 3Gswhere the main innovation was not iron, but App Store, then - 4 / 4s, where they completely changed the look, made a clear screen and a powerful camera. Generation iPhone 4 / 4s gave impetus to the development of mobile photo and video applications, inspired by the camera iPhone 4 Instagram was created. iPhone 5 stayed in our memory thanks iPhone SE and sensor touch ID. And since iPhone 6 little has changed: the case remained aluminum, the smartphone device was about the same, only an enlarged one appeared Moremodel with a double camera. And rooted in this generation Touch 3D now almost never used - he never caught on.

Following the first month since iPhone X I can say the following: the fact that the company still decided to abandon the “Home” button will bring huge changes not only in the world of smartphones, but also in general in all mobile equipment. Why I came to this conclusion - just below, but for now let's start with impressions.

Experience one month - in one paragraph

iPhone X more convenient than 8 iPhone Plus. Screen awesome. The cutout at the top of the screen ("bangs") does not enrage and does not interfere. The bar at the bottom of the screen is very annoying. Face ID - does not work as well as Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), wants to make everyone think, but it works. Many bugs in third-party applications, they are too slow to update. The battery sits very quickly. The camera is ordinary: there is no noticeable progress. Animoji - joke at once.

And now in detail about the pros. They are few.

The most noticeable is the design and screen.

iPhone X really looks cool. It has an excellent metal frame: in the black model, the metal is painted and creates the feeling of a solid bar, while in the silver model, the chrome-plated (therefore does not peel off like the black) frame serves as a transition between the white back cover and the black display. In OLED display iPhone X The black color is truly black, although at a certain angle of inclination, when the screen is off, you can see exactly where the display ends and the body frames begin.

A beautiful screen and a stylish original design have, for example, the latest models. Samsungbut it is not yet recognizable and is not a standard. Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), does so powerful bet on iPhone Xthat drew for him a separate icon with a cut-out and the lack of the Home button.

Thanks to protruding "ears" of the screen iPhone X easy to identify among other smartphones: for this it is not necessary that he had branded wallpaper or ring tone. On the first day of use, even before the start of sales, I was driving the subway with iPhone Xand a guy standing two meters away from me recognized from the cutout that it was in my hands that he came up, asked, and a couple of days later we met with him at the start of sales.

The cut does not interfere with watching videos or photos: in most cases, there is no important information in its place, and if you want to dive into the atmosphere, you can safely leave the content open to full screen. It annoys only occasionally - in applications where content does not scale and is located in landscape mode, for example, in games.

GRID racing simulator studio developers Codemastersreleased it on iOS on November 24 - and could take care that the entire interface matches the features of the iPhone X

The last thing you want to discuss from the design iPhone X - this is a display frame. They also serve as a visual distinguishing element (because earlier, iPhones always had strictly rectangular screens), but do not allow iPhone X called truly frameless. This is for the better: the truly frameless phones are not so comfortable to hold in your hands - your fingers will somehow touch the screen when gripping. Frames iPhone X - there is no other word to choose - normal: they are conveniently kept for them, and they have a constant thickness, therefore they look aesthetically pleasing.

General screen iPhone X It looks as if there is no gap between the glass and the display itself. When you look at it, it seems that it is ultra-thin and glued right over the glass. Together with neat frames, it creates an indescribable feeling of compact technology, which was not in the previous iPhones.

This screen has non-standard proportions: it is slightly elongated compared to normal iPhone, and it allows you to fit more content in length. He was clearly created for applications with an endless ribbon: in them on iPhone X more information is displayed, but, for example, images on Instagram will be slightly less than on More-version

What is good about Face ID

The main thing that is discussed in light of the output iPhone X - this is technology Face ID. It is understandable: the old iPhones do not have it, and face recognition on other smartphones leaves much to be desired. Face ID on iPhone X - it turns out to be convenient. But not too much.

The most important thing to understand about Face ID - she allowed to remove the "Home" button from the front of the smartphone and not to make a fingerprint sensor behind. Now the largest manufacturers of smartphones put a sensor in the back, and this is not always from a good life: Samsung in the latest models Galaxy it is placed so that you constantly miss and poke your finger in the camera. For others, it is located more conveniently, but you still need to find it - although in general it is just a matter of habit. But if you put a case on your smartphone, then it becomes a little more difficult to touch the sensor, and there is still a problem with using it in the winter outside, when many people wear gloves. Plus not solved even in Touch ID problems with dirty or wet fingers.

Face ID allows you to tackle the smartphone as you like, and unlock the screen with just a look into the camera. It really works the way it says Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),: the system reads the face both in bright light and in darkness, even if it is covered with a hat and scarf. In the process of testing iPhone X I cut my hair and changed my hairstyle from long to short - at work Face ID This did not affect at all.

With iOS 11, you can now hide notification text when the screen is locked and show their text after Face ID unlocks the screen. AT iPhone X This function works by default, so at first it seemed to me that it was made specifically for it. In fact, it can also be enabled on older iPhones: there the message text is displayed when you touch touch ID. It works equally well: he picked up the phone, the screen caught fire, immediately unlocked and showed notifications, and the other person would not read them.

All applications automatically began to use Face ID instead touch ID, so the replacement went unnoticed: and the developers did not have to strain here, and the users did not suffer. Apple Pay with Face The ID is still convenient: before it was necessary to stretch a hand with a finger on the sensor and wait a moment until the payment passed - now you need to authorize the iPhone to pay in advance and then only stretch it to the terminal. If you have a watch Apple Watch, payment with their help has not changed in any way.

And the last one about Face ID: The system is used not only to unlock the smartphone and ensure security, but also to enhance convenience. Face ID By default, it requires the owner to look into the camera - the system can determine whether a person is looking closely at the screen (the function is called “Attention”). This factor is used to muffle the sound of calls and notifications: if the owner has already taken an iPhone in his hand and is looking at the screen, there is no need to continue to attract his attention.

Gestures are cool

Since the Home button is gone, Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), I had to figure out how to implement part of the functions tied to it. Gestures turned out to be an excellent way out: for a month I was completely used to how to switch between applications using swipe.

The moment of knowing Zen came for me in a couple of weeks, when I had to use old smartphones again, and I realized how much I was unaccustomed to pressing a button. Even on Android I wanted to automatically make a svayp to go to the home screen. But no - there you have to press the buttons.

Gestures themselves are no better and no worse than buttons, but their main advantage is that thanks to them you can save a lot of space on the screen and do not need any additional actions, like on AndroidWhere to get out of full-screen mode, you must first "get" the buttons on the side of the screen. Once upon a time Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), abandoned the physical keyboard, and later 10 years after the release of the first iPhone No one complains that in modern smartphones there are no more tangible buttons for typing. Now the same thing happens with the Home button.

Stabilization of both cameras

The only thing that really highlights the camera iPhone X compared to other smartphones and earlier iPhones - full optical stabilization. When shooting video, it now works for both cameras - both wide-angle and telephoto. It sounds like something very insignificant, but it’s enough to remember how often you shoot videos in vertical mode while on the go for stories on Instagram - or you see such videos from other people.

Often, daily observations are recorded in history, and it makes sense to switch from a normal camera to a telephoto end if the object of observation is far away, while the shooting is on the run, hands are shaking. Now all these videos look even better, although Instagram itself still shows them in disgusting resolution. But the camera will not tremble!

Rumors of my death are somewhat exaggerated

Within days after the start of sales iPhone X reports of his fatal flaws began to appear: now the screen froze in the cold, then a green stripe appeared the entire length of the screen, then there was a crackling sound from the speakers, then the paint was peeling off the metal frame. Such news always appears after the release of new generations of smartphones (take the same burnout from Google Pixel 2), and in the case of technology Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), Media attention to them is increased - many people really want to see how the company makes a mistake: “The large cabinet falls more loudly”.

There really are problems, but they are not as massive as they might seem at first glance. The most significant of them are glitches of the screen in the cold: this is a real problem that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), confirmed and a week later fixed the firmware update. Even before the upgrade, I tried to check whether iPhone X to blunt in the cold, but no matter how much I tried to show a bug, nothing happened. Even put iPhone X the phone froze for a while in the freezer, but there were no problems with the screen.

After the release of iOS 11.1.2 I once again tried to walk down the street in the cold with an iPhone in my hands and follow the way it works: it turned out that my hands freeze faster than the iPhone anyway. I even put it in the snow for a couple of minutes: the screen was covered with condensate, but it worked fine.

I didn’t see a green strip and problems with sound - either a defective iPhone is needed (in this case they are changed under warranty in the service center), or everything is fine. But he thought about checking the effect of burning out: on OLED screens with strong brightness, interface elements that are constantly in one place can cause burning out - when the picture changes, and the phantom element remains in place. Bottom strip created in iPhone X instead of the “Home” button, in many applications you just can’t remove it at all - and I was afraid that a trace would remain in its place.

I use sleep tracker Sleep Cyclewhich, due to the peculiarities of working all night, requires that the screen be left on (but lowers its brightness to a minimum), and this strip remains on a dark background. After three weeks of daily use of the tracker, an average of eight hours of no burning effect, I did not notice. However, Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), she herself warned that the screen will burn out if the picture remains stationary at high brightness. It is said and with Google Pixel 2 the situation is overly exaggerated, but on the whole OLED-displays are indeed flawed - however, iPhone X he would rather die from the blow than from this notorious effect.

Now for the cons

Face ID annoying failed reads

Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), may repeat that Face ID makes a mistake in one situation in a million, but it’s about the chance that a stranger will successfully pass the test at another owner’s iPhone. But the owner of the iPhone unlocks his face with a much higher probability of error: according to my feelings, approximately in 15-20% of cases for one reason or another Face ID I did not recognize.

These unsuccessful recognition attempts are very annoying. First, I do not understand why Face ID doesn't recognize me - is something wrong with the face? Do I need to take off my hat? Do not hold the iPhone? It seems not, but still something went wrong. Well, you have to enter a password.

Secondly, if Face ID It did not work the first time, then you can re-check by turning the screen off and on again (as the DTF chief editor Vadim Yelistratov justly corrected me, you can still lift the curtain - but for this you need to hold the phone like when typing). This is annoying: you need to press one button, wait, press again - and not the fact that this time the authorization will be successful. There is a subtlety: in case of unsuccessful recognition, you can enter a password, and then Face ID “Make conclusions for himself” - uses the data obtained for learning the algorithm.

Perhaps the greatest nonsense - Face ID can not be used in landscape mode: in this case, it simply does not define the face. Moreover, if iPhone X, lying on the table, immediately lift in landscape mode, the screen will not light up automatically - this will happen only if you raise the iPhone, holding it vertically. In case of touch ID The finger can be applied in any way, it is still considered successfully - but, it should be noted, it is also not in 100% of cases.

“Easy access” uncomfortable

Previously, pulling the screen down by double-tapping the “Home” button (this function is called “Easy Access”) worked in an almost ideal way. The “Home” button is located on the most convenient place for the thumb, and the double tap on it successfully worked in 99% of cases. Now there is no button, and although the smartphone has decreased in size, the screen iPhone X become even longer than that More-version, so it became even harder to reach for the content and buttons on top.

В iPhone X “Convenient access” is not a damn convenient. First, it is turned off by default, and you still need to be aware of it in order to find it in the settings and turn it on. Inexperienced users will probably have to accept the fact that one cannot reach the top of the screen with one hand. Secondly, even if the function is turned on, then it will not work perfectly: the content is pulled down along the svaypu from top to bottom along the bottom bar, which in some cases has replaced the Home button.

The function does not always work - my gesture almost never works the first time. Moreover, the bar is lower than the “Home” button, and the thumb has to bend more - and in fact the lower edge of the screen is usually supported by the little finger, due to which the grip needs to be changed a little. And there is another situation when the smartphone is in a horizontal position - for example, when you are lying in bed or on the couch - and then intercepting it with one hand is not an option at all.

For me, "easy access" has become a continuous torment, and I resort to it very rarely. And precisely because of him iPhone Xalmost identical in size to the one-armed mode iPhone, often have to hold with two hands, like iPhone Plus.

By the way, the bottom bar is almost always displayed at the bottom of the screen, which often distracts from the content or overlaps some element of the application interface. In some applications, it automatically hides, so as not to distract - but experience shows that so far mainly in the system, for example, in the photo gallery, and in very large services like YouTube.

Very hot

iPhone X It may unnecessarily become very hot, even when it does nothing special - for example, when it is on charge or when the browser is open. Especially, it began to bask after the release of iOS 11.1.2, which supposedly solves the problem with jams on the screen in the cold.

Normal condition iPhone X at room temperature - slightly warm body. Suddenly, for some internal reasons, it can warm up from use to a level where it becomes uncomfortable to hold it in your hand - the heat is felt even through the cover. Although sometimes a similar effect appears on other smartphones, in the case of iPhone X he disappoints: what are you Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, in the worst traditions of irresponsible manufacturers did not calculate how your powerful iron will heat the body?

Especially the heat is noticeable, as can be expected in games. Three weeks after the start of sales iPhone X GRID races were released, promising a “console-level graphics”. The graphics there are ordinary - not a head taller than in free simulators - but even on iPhone X the frame rate occasionally sags to 5 frames per second (offhand): naturally, while the smartphone is very hot. Can you imagine yourself playing on the console, holding in your hands a joystick that matches the temperature of a cup of boiling water? And with iPhone X This is an ordinary case.

Animoji - fun, but only for the first time

Animated emoticons Animoji - This is pampering, which no one seriously discusses. They only work as a competent proof of concept - proof that the camera TrueDepth in the hands of skilled developers capable of impressive things. True, especially observant bloggers have already figured out that Animoji work and without sensors TrueDepth - possibly, Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), procured this chip specifically for iPhone Xto make it easier to sell.

In fact, in real life, no one will ever use Animojito chat with friends. It may sometimes be appropriate to send an animated piece of shit instead of the usual emoji, but in Russia iMessage still not so popular as in the United States.

I did not notice the advantages of the new camera

New flagship Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), received a very high score (97 points, a point less Google Pixel 2) from the profile portal DxOmarkwhich called iPhone X the best smartphone for taking photos. But if you delve into the details, it turns out that iPhone X It has good HDR, but, for example, loses the camera Galaxy Note 8 in clarity with double zoom, and the video quality on average is good, but not outstanding.

However, most of the consumption of the photos and videos you have created, most likely, also falls on smartphones. On a small screen, it will simply not be seen if the good picture has become even better or not - the mobile photo has already approached this limit. In the case of insufficient lighting iPhone X can save a bad shot - and maybe not save, everything will depend on the situation and the experience of the photographer.

If you do not take into account the optical stabilization of both cameras, the remaining improvements implemented in iPhone X (for example, the telephoto lens began to transmit more light on the 30% compared to iPhone 8), are invisible to the naked eye, and sometimes it is not at all obvious whether the camera has become better or worse. For example, in November I was with a girl at a concert: she walks with iPhone 6s, and made some pictures at the same moments and from the same points as me. On the final result is not easy to distinguish where the photo with iPhone Xand where with iPhone 6s - and after all between them three generations of a difference.

For the curious: in each pair of pictures, the first one is made on iPhone 6sand the second is on iPhone X.

I will not pretend that I am a specialist in photography: I have no idea how everything is arranged there. Therefore, from my experience of shooting on iPhone X I can only make three trivial conclusions:

1. With poor lighting iPhone X a little better see what is happening around;
2. The optical stabilization of both cameras is better than the optical stabilization of a single camera;
3. The rest of the camera iPhone X corresponds to what is considered to be a good camera in a smartphone. She does not jump higher than her head, but she also has no obvious shortcomings - perhaps, apart from the portrait mode.

Portrait mode is not a panacea, but rather homeopathy

The function of shooting with blurring of the background, known as “bokeh effect” - the main marketing feature of dual cameras in iPhones since 7 iPhone Plus and its main drawback. Advertising Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), (and other competing companies) gives the impression that this mode allows anyone to make a high-quality portrait shot with one button. But in fact, even after two generations - iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 - this function still does not work as expected: to the level of “brought, clicked and got a wonderful picture”, to which everyone is accustomed to using a regular camera iPhone, portrait mode does not hold out.

The main problem is that the sensors, with which the camera builds a model of the surrounding world, do not work very precisely: for portrait mode, the situation is quite common when a camera application considers a part of hair or a part of the background and blur or cut it from a photo. The final result sometimes looks disgusting, and not the most perfect examples of how the function works. Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), Feel free to skip marketing.

I did not use Pixel 2 himself, but video blogger Maxim Khoroshev (project Rozetked) repeatedly conducted comparisons of portrait modes flagships Google and Apple. He concluded that Pixel 2 Makes portrait shots much clearer - probably due to powerful machine learning.

Of course, Khoroshev could just nakhimich with settings and, as a fan Android, wishful thinking But I myself did a lot of portrait shots - and never, even in ideal studio conditions, I could not get great photos from the first time. Good, medium and bad turned out - but so that one click to take a beautiful picture with a spectacular blur and clear details of the person in the frame - no. First, you need experience - portrait mode requires skill, it can not be used as a panacea for a great shot. Secondly, images with poorly imposed bokeh effect can be corrected - but, unfortunately, not by system tools.

To edit portrait shots there is an excellent and free application. Focos: Perhaps many will recognize it by the depth of depth of photos, which are popular in social networks “layouts” of photos on layers. AT Spotlights You can choose which area to blur and which one to leave clear - this way you can achieve a better result.

Weak battery for the flagship

Turning from the times iPhone 6s on Plus-version, I stayed on it in recent years. Her huge size gave her not only a big screen, but also a serious battery that works all day and sometimes even longer. The main thing that has changed in my life is that I have ceased to worry about the fact that before the evening the smartphone may suddenly discharge: this did not happen even once. And although I always had portable charging with me just in case, this reinsurance was superfluous.

So: one charge iPhone X with average use, I have enough until about lunch. In this, he is very similar to the usual iPhone.

Yes, it is strange to expect from a compact smartphone, almost identical in size iPhoneSomething outstanding in terms of batteries. Maybe, iPhone X really works on 2 hours longer than iPhone 8as claimed Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), - but this is not enough. I thought that optimizing the system would all decide that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), will be able to make such energy saving that the iPhone X will be able to stretch even until the evening - but this did not happen.

therefore iPhone X will have to be recharged at every convenient and uncomfortable event, otherwise he may take a ride home or at some critical moment. This, unfortunately, is not the flagship level.

It is very expensive, and a breakdown will cause a heart attack.

Price iPhone X I didn’t discuss only lazy, but I’ll just fix it: it’s really a very expensive smartphone, which costs much more than its direct competitors - therefore, the demand from it is appropriate. But fans Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), the choice is small: no matter how much it costs, this is the best iphone at the moment.

But spend little on iPhone X from 80 thousand rubles: you need to understand how much it will cost to repair. Drop tests have already shown how fragile his body is (here without surprises), so it should be kept safe and worn only in a case - of course, if you are not Dmitry Medvedev.

Itself Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), does not repair smartphones - it is done by authorized service centers (ASC). In one of these centers, I learned that replacing a cracked screen iPhone X will cost 23 700 rubles + another 3 thousand rubles for a service: the second component seems to be its own markup of the ASC, if you believe the explanations of the official support service Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),. It is expensive: in the case of iPhone 7 a similar service will cost 12 thousand rubles.

But a broken screen is not the worst thing that can happen with iPhone X. If the rear window cracks in it, it will not be repaired - such an operation is not performed even in the ASC. In this case, the only way to restore the old look of the smartphone is to buy a new one according to the program. trade-inthat will cost 47 700 rubles, while the old iPhone X should not be torn to shreds. And 47 thousand rubles is more than half the cost iPhone X (or whole iPhone 7).

What I did not study

I did not check the work iPhone X under water - it is not intended for this, although numerous tests show that when immersed, it not only does not break, but continues to work. Probably, you can record a video under water - but I personally was not interested. It is enough that in the rain and after immersion in the snow iPhone X feels great.

I almost did not test wireless charging - I only know that they charge about as fast as a regular adapter. Buy a separate wireless charging from a third party like Mophie or Belkin - probably not the most sensible investment. For convenience, it roughly corresponds to the docking station (it is easy to put a smartphone on it, easy to take off), usually the charging area is only enough for one smartphone, you don’t carry it around - but it increases the convenience.

I think the rug AirPower который Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), promises to be released in the 2018 year, it will be better - it has more space, you can charge two smartphones and a watch at the same time - but it will cost more. This is for aesthetes. Just in case, I note: the smartphone can be charged, only lying on the back cover - through the screen, wireless charging does not work.

I didn’t test the fast (and expensive) adapter either, but I’m sure it will come in handy for those whose 80% working day consists of calls and the mobile Internet. Those who have a new MacBook Pro, you can simply purchase a wire with USB-C on Lightning, and quickly charge from a laptop or from its adapter.

And, of course, I did not check iPhone X on impact resistance. Found a fool.

And now - the conclusions.

The iPhone X is the flagship, but it is not a replacement for the iPhone Plus.

When I started to use iPhone X, it seemed to me that it is not only the best of all smartphones currently available, but it is also a full replacement for iPhone Plus, which was considered a senior model before the release of new items. After a month of use, it’s obvious to me: this is not an equivalent replacement, More-version is now not the “average” model, it’s just an iPhone from another generation, but with its own, sorry for the tautology, pluses.

Firstly, the form factor itself iPhone X visually distinguishes it from both models - it is less Morebut a little more than usual iPhoneand it is very much felt. It can not be fully used with one hand, as iPhone 8 - the old model has a normal “Easy Access”, it has a smaller screen, and the interface works differently (for example, the control center shutter opens from the bottom and not from the top - you don’t have to reach for it).

Secondly, for people whose work is highly dependent on the smartphone (mobile Internet, navigation, applications), battery iPhone X will not be powerful enough. In this plan iPhone Plus always been Pro-version (though Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), not quite positioned it that way), and iPhone X on resources it does not reach. For one day the active work of its battery is not enough - and with More this problem almost never happened.

Third, the screen iPhone X although longer, but not as wide as More - and it’s more convenient to watch videos More, whose screen is perfect for the popular 16: 9 format.

But all this is blocked by the other virtues. Screen iPhone X much better and more pleasant, it is activated by pressing: Samsung Galaxy this is already quite a long time ago, but they also have brief information (time, notifications) constantly displayed on the display - this is a bit annoying in the dark. iPhone X in this respect, it is concise and strict.

У iPhone X better camera with full stabilization of video shooting, it has a more stylish body (although not so durable, but all iPhones should be carried in cases anyway), it has Face ID and Animoji, it has more sensors, it has a little different (sometimes more convenient, sometimes less) iOS is arranged. This is certainly the flagship, the first for many years, a new generation of smartphones Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, which is viewed as a reserve for the future.

Should I take on the New Year

iPhone X - The device is demanding: to appeal, to battery resources, to the user's habits and, most importantly, to money. This is the most expensive smartphone from the premium segment. It is not for everyone - and not even for everyone who can afford it.

If your girlfriend, wife, husband or child want iPhone X and they don’t know why - they won’t be able to explain why they should wait. But to fans Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),who are used to trying all the latest and greatest from the world of technology, iPhone X definitely like it.

It is noticeable that the hysteria around iPhone X slept noticeably a month after the start of sales - and at the beginning of December there will already be new deliveries, so most likely buying at face value will not be a problem. I can recommend it at least to those who want to know what the world of smartphones will be in a year - and want to try it now.

And if the deficit iPhone X at the start of sales was not due to problems in production, Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), you should create it in an artificial way: how difficult it is to get the most unusual smartphone for many years only strengthened its marketing. For once, walking with the latest model of an iPhone has again become some kind of, but a sign of elitism, noticeable at first glance.

Get over it: soon all smartphones will be like iPhone X

When Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), refused to audio-jack, did not criticize the company just lazy - but after a couple of years, this decision is not even condemned because it is being implemented almost everywhere. Only Samsung still leaves on that Galaxy there are audio jacks - but soon they will also be promoting their wireless headphones: you cannot run away from the future without wires.

Do not get away from the trend on frameless smartphones, which can not be fully realized without giving up the "Home" button in one form or another. Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), came to an elegant solution to the problem with a bunch Face ID + gestures, but it will not be easy for other manufacturers to copy - the system itself must first be ready for such innovations Androidso everyone will have to wait for the move Google.

And a little more about gestures: when in the summer of 2017 of the year Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), showed iOS 11, many reviewers wrote how work with the iPad changed under it. There, too, much is now tied to gestures and dragging elements, but only after iPhone X it became clear that all this is part of one big paradigm, in which there is no room for buttons.

The most accurate decision predictor Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),analyst KGI Securities Ming-Chi Kuo in ten days after the start of sales described the next generation of iPhones: iPhone X how would become a younger model, will appear More-version with OLED-screen and still remain Moreversion with TFT-LCD display. But everyone will have a neckline with Face ID and there will be no home button.

So, in 2018, we will most likely see a new flagship in this paradigm - with an even clearer screen, with a more powerful battery and, possibly, other innovations. But this will be attempt number seven.

For now - all eyes on iPhone X.
