Went to the Apple store to play with it. It was easy to get used to but I’m not impressed for some reason. Think I just might be over getting the new tech.

I guess my sim came preloaded.. I just set it up out of the box, and service switched from my old phone to new.

The notch doesn’t really bother me so far, but I don’t watch a ton of videos.
I do think Apple could go a bit further with optimizing the screen real estate. To say the phone is “all screen” is to ignore the fact that some bezel still remains.
It’s nit-picky, but I do think 2-3 years from now Apple will get it right.

nobodies a bigger fan of new tech than me and i dunno if i’m being picky or just haven’t adjusted yet but i’m like eh.
everyone talks about what they like so i’ll tell you what i don’t like.
i don’t like not having the swipe from bottom for calculator flashlight tab. i was able to do that with one hand even with a plus. now i gotta use two to get to it.
coupled with that not major and def a minor issue. you can’t get your battery percentage on the screen unless you swipe down from that same tab.
face id isn’t as flawless as everyone’s making it out to be. i had to redo mine 3 times so far. i learned to keep in mind where you hold your phone in terms of distance from your face. for instance...was just out to eat and i wasn’t able to unlock the phone with my arms laying on the table. because my face was too far from where i probably had it when i set it up.
also on the plus i didn’t realize it but i used that double tap the home feature to shrink the screen a lot and i feel like i should still use it on this phone even though it’s a smaller device
more of an ios11 issue i don’t like the extra grey space under the keyboard. it’s uselss and takes up screen real estate. if you don’t know what i’m talking about it’s the space that has the globe on the left and the microphone on the right.
everything else i’m cool with. not gonna lie i geeked out hard for this phone but gun to head if you ask me if it’s worth it i’ll say no. i went out and bought a wireless charger just to have in my head that i’m actually using a new feature. one of many you could live without.
no home button is cool and the screen is beautiful but that notch is gonna take time getting used to. the screen kinda looks like the outline of a bunny face with 2 ears. or even a rolodex card for those old enough to know what one is.
i’ve only had it for about 6 hours so these are very early hot takes. take them for what they’re worth

Face ID working flawlessly for me.
LOVE that you can swipe up to unlock before FaceID has captured your face and it still registers the action.
If you’re expecting Face ID to capture your face without the camera directed at your face, I really don’t know what to say.

I find I need to use the new reachability gesture a lot on this phone. Swiping down from the bottom however can sometimes lead to erroneous app launches or scrolling instead of the intended action. I'm sure I'll get better at it as I use it more.

Weird, iTunes won’t let me back up from my computer, keep saying “Password incorrect”
Not sure what’s going on. Password is 100% correct. I’ve tried everything.

I’ve had mine for a couple of hours it’s not the drastic change I thought it would be coming from even just a 6+ but it’s nice.
The size was easy enough to get used to but I will be kinda tight next year when there is a plus version.
Loving how quick it is in comparison to my old phone but other than that it’s really just another iPhone.

It’s just all hype because it’s a “Anniversary” phone... not that impressive and it’s too small.
I’ll wait next year when they come out with a X+

Idk an X plus will be kinda impractical i have big hands and the fact the way this new screen is It’s hard to reach around it one hand. I used to one hand my iPhone 7plus.
They may not do an X+ If year groups can’t even use the thing comfortably. The screen would be the biggest ever and impossible to one hand.
