It’s been nearly two months since Apple unveiled its flagship iPhone X to the world and the release day has now come and gone. People pre-ordered, others lined up in stores and many are still waiting for stock to replenish.

The Post received its review unit of the iPhone X a week ago. We did our initial impressions after 24 hours with the device and have since been using it as a full-time, primary phone.

While final opinions of the iPhone X — which starts at $1,319 — are largely similar after extended use, there have been some subtle quirks that have appeared. But that said, the iPhone X is the premium experience Apple fans have been waiting for and a look into the future for what the tech giant has in mind.

Display and design

While Face ID is important (more on that soon), arguably the most important advancement to the iPhone line with the X is its 5.8-inch, super retina OLED display.

Industry evaluator DisplayMate just called the iPhone X’s screen the “most innovative and high performance” screen in a smartphone on Monday, while giving a nod to Samsung for manufacturing it. With HDR support (including HDR10 and Dolby Vision), the display does have impressive colour management and looks great from all viewing angles — something other smartphones such as the Pixel 2 XL has struggled with.
