Happy Halloween, and we’re getting our first look at the shiny new iPhone Ten, which we’ve managed to get ahold of a little bit ahead of its official debut this Friday. DT Mobile Tech editor and smartphone torture tester Julian Chokkattu has been getting more familiar with Apple’s latest halo product, and the first impressions are definitely positive.
The 5.8-inch OLED screen certainly impresses, but the little notch where the Face ID tech lives can distract a bit from the experience at times. And speaking of Face ID, it works most of the time. It’ll likely take us – and everyone else – a little while to get used to the quick “unlock glance” exercise, and it does seem to work as promised the majority of the time. And when it doesn’t, you can always just tap in your PIN to solve that first world problem.
Otherwise, photos look great, iOS 11 is snappy and fun to use, the AR toys are fun to play with and overall, we grudgingly admit the thing may actually be worth the $999 asking price, or the $1149 for the 256gb model. That is, if you can find one. Pre-orders sold out long ago with wait times now heading into December, so if you gotta have one this Friday, we suggest you maybe think about setting up camp outside an Apple Store… right about now.
