otherwise it's everything that you could hope for from a top of the line phone in 2017. apple took the best mobile OLED screen technology on the market from samsung and tuned it to damn near

i would say if it weren't for the notch now for the vast majority of the content that you'll find on youtube or netflix it and the rounded bottom corners will end up cut off by pillar boxes but in movies it is a literal black mark on what is otherwise the standard by which mobile displays can be measured and while it's far less obnoxious i did also notice it in day-to-day use a lot of people might not care about something like this but there's no room at the top anymore for your battery percent or your vpn connectivity status requiring a swipe down from the top right to bring up the

off your gloves to touch to bright sunlight to pitch blackness and even with a kid in my arms or a toothbrush hanging out of my mouth and the feature that hides the details of your notifications until it recognizes you is a biometric authentication game changer okay cool now here's what's less awesome because the 10 only auto wakes when it's right side up and has no obvious landmarks when the screen is off like an always-on clock for example and because it requires a swipe after it identifies you i often found that it took me longer to unlock the 10 when i wanted to use my phone face id to be clear is much better than samsung's iris scanner across the board but it still requires a special dance move to do something on your phone while it's sitting on the desk or table next to you and back to that notification hiding thing i really wish that it was a little bit faster like i've been using my old iphone 6 as an mp3 player lately and man i forgot how much worse first gen touch id was and how much better fast biometrics are compared to just having them at all all right fine then apple a notch in the display for unlocking with wet hands okay i can wait a little longer for you to put all this stuff behind the panel and besides the notch actually bothered me far less than the interface and navigation changes that were necessitated by the tens lack of a home button all the new gestures are easy to remember and felt natural within minutes to the point where i actually found myself swiping up on other devices but multiple aspects of the new control scheme are marginally slower reinforcing my belief that apple is either run by or caters to people who just don't have a lot to do these people i assume have all the time in the world to type names into their address book like a cave person instead of using t9 dialing interact with their touch screen however little it might be to quick launch their camera instead of double tapping a hardware button they have time to pause mid gesture to wait for multitasking to show up instead of pressing one button though the slide to the right is quite a bit better they have time to hold then swipe or reach to the top of the screen to force close a frozen app and finally and yes i'm repeating this one they don't mind swiping their screen every time they unlock their phone now i'm not saying that apple did nothing right here control center from the top right is much more reliable now that it no longer gets confused by the on-screen keyboard and on that subject the dictation button under the on-screen keyboard is super convenient which wait a second under the keyboard leave it to apple to figure out the most obvious stuff that everyone else missed i've been complaining for years that on devices with small chin bars it's harder to touch type and they just went and put a space in there brilliant anyway in fairness to apple the navigation isn't terrible it's just also not as advertised it's not like a quantum leap forward in the way that i interact my phone and if anything it makes me miss the Android back button even more than i normally do on iOS not less now i'm not going to spend a ton of time on the camera or animojis other than to say that if you like the excellent eight plus camera and if you're a portrait mode focus fiend you'll like the tens camera and that until apple allows animojis to be recorded and sent as video clips in third-party chat apps easily i will be even less inclined to create awkward moments in public than i already am so that brings me then to my conclusion the original iphone was first gen execution of a brilliant idea and the device that was created to celebrate its 10-year anniversary is brilliant execution of what feels like a gen idea it really seems to me like apple was trying really hard to make an innovative device then make you like whatever they ended up with rather than looking forward to what people wanted to do in their lives and building a solution around that an approach that probably would have involved some more investment in siri so bottom line then the iphone 10 is what it took to make me more excited about the 8 and the 8 plus and ultimately go back to the s8 so that i can stop carrying around this stupid bag of headphone dongles so this video was brought to you by the dbrand grip my mother is so present never drop your phone
