Striking, Stunning and STUPIDLY Expensive

So here it is; the biggest thing to happen to the iPhone since, well, the first iPhone.

Apple is marking the tenth birthday of its globally famous smartphone line with one of the most revolutionary designs to come out of its Cupertino design labs – not to mention one of the most expensive.

Retailing for around £1000 SIM-free, the iPhone X – or "10" as Apple would have you say – is a bold move which makes some huge bets on various features and functions, stripping away elements such as the familiar Home button and Touch ID to accommodate its grand vision.

But does it work, and is it worth the sky-high asking price? We're about to find out.

iPhone X review: Design & Display

It would be remiss to approach the iPhone X's design without first talking about that massive 5.8-inch screen. It's the first on an iPhone to use AMOLED tech, and the results are incredible; colours really pop, contrast is solid and everything looks vibrant and punchy.

The shift from LCD to OLED hasn't been without its issues – we're already hearing reports of burn-in occurring – but it seems like this is the future of mobile ipad air screen replacement display tech, and it's likely that the vast majority of owners will have moved onto a new model before the screen begins to deteriorate. OLED screens are also kinder on the battery, too.

The display's 1125 x 2436 pixel resolution and 19.5:9 aspect ratio are typically non-conformist, but that doesn't matter when you're the only company that makes the iPhone; there's no need to worry about alienating other OEMs, as is the case with Google and Android.

Apps are already being updated to support all of this new real estate; compared to the screen on the iPhone 8 – which, it's easy to forget, has been released almost alongside the iPhone X – this feels vast and expansive, and it's genuinely hard to go back to a smaller display after using it for any length of time.

The trade-off is that Apple has had to put a "notch" at the top of the screen to house elements such as the front-facing camera, powerful speaker and the Face ID camera – the latter of which we'll come to shortly.

At first it annoyed me but the longer I spent with the phone I came to accept it was just part of the design; in fact, you could argue that it gives the phone's massive display an identity which allows it to stand out from other, big-screen mobiles. After a week of use I wasn't bothered by the notch at all.

With the headline-grabbing screen out of the way, we can move onto the rest of the galaxy s7 battery replacement

• which, ironically, is actually quite conservative in comparison. The rounded edges popularised by the iPhone 6 remain in place, while the glass back calls to mind the iPhone 4 from way back when.

Apple's designers have clearly hit upon a design language that they feel stands the test of time – and it's hard to disagree when you look at how many other "rounded" handsets exist on the market.

The phone – which is water and dust resistant, it should be noted – is attractive but not jaw-droppingly so – but then it doesn't need to be when the focal point is that massive screen.
