Apple didn't hold back on features for it's tenth
anniversary iPhone: a stunning OLED HDR display
with barely there bezels, a "Bionic" A11 processor, AR
capabilities and a set of cameras that could rival a
DSLR. But it also has some major drawbacks that will
may even the most loyal Apple fan think twice before
pulling the trigger on the iPhone X.
1. Price
The We're used to paying a premium for Apple
devices, but this one may be a record. Apple may
have tried to soften the blow by calling it $999, but
it's still a thousand dollar phone. Tack on another
another $149 for the 256GB version if you plan on
storing those beautiful 4K videos locally, the cost of
a charging pad, and to insure it all and you're looking
at a $1,400 price tag. Because even the Apple Care for
the iPhone X is more expensive $50 more than
previous models. We weren't expecting iPhone X to
be cheap, but Apple at least could've kept it in line
with the Plus model pricing.
2. Glass back
You'll want to be extra careful with your thousand
dollar investment, because the iPhone X now has two
breakable surfaces on which to drop it. The X may
have a sturdier stainless steel frame, but it now has a
glass back. Apple traded in the aluminum for a glass
back on its three new iPhones to enable wireless
charging. They may be calling it their "strongest glass
ever", but that doesn't make it shatterproof.

3. No Touch ID
Apple likes to get rid of buttons and ports on their
devices. Last year they killed the headphone jack and
this year they eliminated the home button. And while
most of us will gladly forgo a home button in favor of
a bezel-less display, they should've at least kept the
Touch ID as an alternative to the new FaceID. Maybe
under the screen as early rumors had suggested.
Unlocking the phone with your face may prove faster
and simpler in time, but the Craig Federighi's demo
fail when he first attempted to unlock his iPhone
suggests otherwise.
4. Release date
But the biggest bummer about the iPhone X is that
you won't be able to get it until November, practically
a lifetime in nerd years. And that's assuming
everything goes smoothly. Last year's Airpods arrived
months after the announcement and are still on
backorder a year later.
