Been using it for a bit. Not bad getting used to the size. Starting to get used to the gestures. So fast. So good looking. Face ID is mostly working. Notch doesn’t bother me at all. Love having so much space.

my first post from X


amazingly fast

I am no doing no case
which is fine

but when I hold it with left hand my index finger keeps grazing the camera

love the size

not liking how to turn off apps when running (up with finger to see all apps then having to hold down till red mark come and press that to make it force close app)

so so far very happy

it will get me through next 11 months

If you're having it delivered to a residential address they can deliver by 7pm but if it's a business address they always try to get it before 5pm. That's why I'm having mine delivered to my office, they give priority to business addresses.

you don't have to tap the red button to close it. You can swipe it up like the old way.

its still a slower process since you have to long press before force closing thou

so I tried doing it old 7 plus way

just St swipe up instead of long tap

worked once

figured out the hard push then swipe.


It’s annoying but it works

Sorry, that's what Meant. You have to long press first so the red button shows, then swipe the app up to force close.


since upgrading to the 7 Plus I actually don't force close my apps unless it's giving me a problem.

Been playing with mine for a few hours. Love it. Only beef has been closing apps and still wanting the “Silver” but prolly won’t even care; the leather case provides a lot of grip in my hands.

BTW, is the function to bring the apps on the top down for easier access still there?

Reachability? Yea it's still there.

How to enable and use Reachability on iPhone X


Looks easier to use than the double tap on the home button.

Gotta give it to Apple, they said 1-2 weeks but the X arrived yesterday.

UPS driver was spent, he said everyone had to sign so his day was going to be long.
