I never planned to get the iPhone.
When the original iPhone went on sale on June 29, 2007, I was rocking a Samsung A900 “Blade” flip phone, the company’s actually-pretty-decent copy of the storied Motorola RAZR phone. I was editor of a tech blog for NBCUniversal at the time, and my reporter, Stewart Wolpin, was at New York City’s flagship Apple Store covering the launch of the so-called “Jesus phone.”
Shortly after the doors opened and he got in, my phone rang.
“They’re letting me buy two,” Stewart said. “Want one?”
The original iPhone cost $600 — a lot of coin for a tech blogger, especially in an era where carrier subsidizing meant most phones cost $100-$200. I hesitated, but only for a couple of seconds. Read more…

I had an epiphany the other day.
I was finalizing my review of LG V30, which would be my third review of a “bezel-less” phone in a row. And as I struggled to find the words to describe the V30’s design, which is so similar to all the other big-screened Android flagships that came out lately, I finally realized that the iPhone X’s “notch” is not only a good design choice — it’s a necessary one.
With the notch, the iPhone X has one extremely important advantage over most other flagship smartphones: It’s different.

Don’t get me wrong, I still don’t like the notch. I’d still prefer the iPhone X without it — the idea of a phone that’s essentially just a screen is so wonderfully futuristic that I’d be the first in line to buy one (I’ll actually be the first in line to buy the iPhone X anyway, but that’s because it’s kinda my job).

How to take a screenshot with the iPhone X
The iPhone X is finally here.
If you’ve been lucky enough to get your hands on one, then you know that the lack of a home button means you have to relearn quite a few basic tasks, like taking screenshots.

Apple learns to feed the hype for its iPhone X launch—and snubs a lot of important people
Even before John Gruber started his one-man Apple-centric media operation, Daring Fireball, he knew he wanted to “be opinionated.”
Those opinions are often reserved for Apple items and other consumer technology topics, so it’d make sense for devotees…
Even people with tiny hands can use the iPhone X

This is why the iPhone X can register only one face
The universe blessed us with 10 fingers and an iPhone that can register up to five of them. It’s an embarrassment of biometric riches, which is why I’m a little bummed out that Apple’s new iPhone X can only register one face at a time.

It’s the end of an era for this iconic iPhone feature

It’s the end of an era for the iPhone.
No, I’m not talking about iPhone X’s “notch” or even the fact that Apple’s most anticipated iPhone ever comes in the most boring color selection in recent memory — I’m talking about the home button.
The button that, for 10 years, was one of the iPhone’s most iconic features. The feature that was instrumental in teaching us how to navigate the first real smartphone. The home button is about to go the way of the headphone jack and even though I’ve (grudgingly) learned to love AirPods, I am in no way ready to kiss my home button good-bye. Read more…

With the iPhone X, Apple has had to rethink many of the iOS core gestures. The new device features a brand new design with a taller display, Face ID and no home button. If you plan on buying a new iPhone X, it’s going to take a while to get used to these new metaphors. So here’s a list of some not-so-obvious features in the iPhone X.
