iPhone X iPhone X Complaint/Things We Don't Like Thread

The notch is still bad. Samsung did a good job of burning an image in my mind of that dude waiting in line with the notch haircut. I live with it, but that's about it.

I'm almost certain Jony's already designing the notch out of the next iphone. Or at least hopeful.

With transparent OLED covering the notch? Though presumably the touch sensor couldn’t cover the notch.

First, the reason it's brought up several times is in response to someone committing to it several times. Second, what strawman argument have I erected...

The guy you are arguing with is correct, every single thing you point out is entirely subjective and a matter of *your* opinion.

Take the OLED stuff for example, all display technologies have trade offs. None are perfect. It just so happens that you don’t like some of the OLED tradoffs. For me personally I would never look at the screen at weird angles so the far superior contrast/color/black levels of OLED far outweigh some edge case that I wouldn’t experience.

This is subjective.

It is like if you said that LCD is objectively inferior due to black levels. Taken in context of a single property sure, that is true. But comparing features of a technology you can’t just pick one metric and say that it is the only thing that matters.

Here is what I don't like and a couple of things I did like.

I disliked the + so much I sold it and went back to my 6+
1. Screen is to narrow
2. Keyboard is to small
3. Battery Sucks my 6+ lasts just as long even though it's 3 years old I can't wait for the new battery
4. No Headphone Jack I really like it
5. Touch ID always works both thumbs
6. FaceID when it works is cool when it doesn't it sucks
7. FaceID doesn't work on desk in stand EVER
8. FaceID doesn't work in landscape mode
9. I like the bigger feel of the 6+ even with my Otterbox Defender case
10. ll miss the camera
11. Screen looks good in sunlight
12. Don't really see speed increase I don't play games
13. Having to use Belkin headphone jack and power adapter in the car
14. Having to use the apple adapter for headphone
15. I got used to the gestures

After having the iPhone X for a few months now, I completely hate the notch and the aspect ratio of the screen.

No, it is not subjective that OLED has a pronounced blue tint at off angles, and it is not more subjective that OLED has a burn in effect. You yourself have just erected a strawman:

• All display technologies have trade offs. None are perfect. It just so happens that you don’t like some of the OLED tradoffs

Your logic is flawed: ascribing an objective fault with technology to being something subjective. You insert something to create support for your argument that is not accurate in the context. The blue tint on the screen - as well as the burn in effect - is an issue with OLED technology that disrupts the colour accuracy of the screen and can cause lingering artifacts on the screen. There is nothing subjective about this. It is a flaw in the technology on its own. Second, yes, I can point out specific metrics/issues and discuss them. There is nothing inherently wrong with that. And this is not the only objective issue with the iPhone X as discussed.

“If you look at an OLED display off-angle, you might notice slight shifts in color and hue. With extended long-term use, OLED displays can also show slight visual changes. This is also expected behavior and can include “image persistence” or ‘burn-in,’ where the display shows a faint remnant of an image even after a new image appears on the screen.” Apple public statement, 2017.
