Some quibbled over the $999 price tag, but most came away impressed with their first hands-on experience with Apple’s new flagship device.
Apple showed off the new Steve Jobs theater and launched a couple of other exciting devices, like a new Apple Watch with cellular and a 4K HDR Apple TV. But all anyone wanted to talk about was the product that was ushered in at the end of the fall reveal with “There’s one more thing.”
That thing, the iPhone X, is a completely new design. It has no Home button. It has a host of features, like facial recognition to unlock the phone, super retina display and camera improvements sure to excite the mobile photography community.
Here’s the first impressions from some tech journalists.
“An extremely beautiful device” “The thing that a lot of people want to talk about with the iPhone X is its $999 starting price, but when you have the phone in your hand, it feels… worth it. The X is an extremely beautiful device, with a stainless steel band and glass back curving into a 5.8-inch OLED display that stretches all the way across the front of the phone. The iPhone X doesn’t arrive until November, and based on what we’ve seen in our brief impressions, it’s going to be quite popular when it does. Even if it does start at a thousand dollars” — Nilay Patel, The Verge
“The most radical redesign of an iPhone yet.” “The iPhone X is one of the most exciting phones released this decade – but not because it offers anything particularly innovative or new. It’s exciting because it’s the most radical redesign of an iPhone yet, tying together a number of key trends in the industry and adding in a level of polish that will attract legions of Apple fans to upgrade, and spend another couple of years in the iCycle.” — Gareth Beavis, TechRadar
