VIDEO: CASEY NEISTAT'S REVIEW ON THE IPHONE X IS HERE
Apple went a complete different-than-normal route with the iPhone X. Rather than seeding review devices to big newspapers and tech blogs, as per usual, the company went more lifestyle outlets and YouTube personalities.
One person, who did not get any special Apple love? Casey Neistat, one of YouTube's most famous vloggers, a camera addict, and an objectively good person to review a new phone. A week after the iPhone X launch, he had some time to play with one, and the feelings are strong.
Neistat's overall verdict is that it is indeed a great phone, there is not anything groundbreaking here, but he does a great job outlining a few user experience problems that iPhone X users are running into.
The lack of a home button means that you can't multitask out of an app if it crashes, and the change in how multitasking functions make it way slower to force-close an app.
These are not deal-breakers, but it is a good breakdown of how not having a home button will actually affect you.
Neistat also has a few gripes with iOS in general that are worth the time, specifically that the notifications are broken.
Neistat is not going to switch from a Note 8 to the iPhone X, mostly due to software issues. Also, it is probably worth noting that he's been in Samsung commercials so...
