The Note isn't worth $940, the V30 isn't worth $830, the Pixel isn't worth $840, and the X isn't worth $1000. Yet consumers still buy these overpriced phones, essentially telling smartphone companies they can get away with greatly overcharging for phones.
The reason being the US is based on credit systems instead of debit system in every other part of the world! US gets carrier options, installments etc whereas rest of the world just wants what they can with the money they have. Let's see when the next economic crisis happens!
"The iPhone X is a great smartphone for rich people, or for the Apple loyalist who wants to splurge to celebrate the iPhone's tenth anniversary." Absolutely nailed it right on the head MrMobile. Cheers from Worcester County.
Piyath Alawatte What? It's not an anniversary phone and they've barely had enough phones to have loyalist. It's just a phone for people who love stock Android and don't mind the expense.
More like......an iPhone with the same features as a android for almost twice the price? Suprising. **what's not Suprising is that you can save 15% or more on car insurance if you switch to geico**
YES! You are the first to address the fact that Apple RIPPED OFF BlackBerry 10 gestures adn they are much WORSE implemented. You are the first reviewer to do so and I applaud you for that.
yea well lets say blackberry copied making phone from first company that ever built the phone, or used buttons, or anything... I dont use apple but damm chill guys
I like this review a lot. It's less than ten minutes, yet it gets the point out. This phone is a great device, but it's for a specific market. There are plenty of other phones that can do better than what the X can do, but because it's Apple and it's their tenth anniversary of the iPhone, they can do what they want to the price and people will still buy it.
I managed to get the s8 for 550 euros back in june. Seeing as the iphone in Europe will cost upwards if 1200 euros. I think the s8 is prolly the best option for a phone right now high end with great features plus similarly priced with one plus 5 atleast here where I live. I don't think there is a bettrr bang for your buck high end phone. The note 8 or pixel xl are not worth the 300 euros more for debatable meaningless features. Just my 2 cents.
ate Was that with a carrier deal? Currently I see a 2 year carrier deal for the S8 at 499€ do you think that's a good price? Or should I wait for the S9 to drop early next year?
Kevin De Smet depends on how much you get charded over say the regular contract without the phone. I did not get it from a carrier usually people who have multiple contracts get a phone for free and they resell it brand new sealed box. I just get their receipt and warranty when I get it so it's not a big deal. Also you should check for deals sometimes carries discount the phones on holidays. I think you should be able to find it in some shops for 600 euros without a contract.
Razor didn't give me a unit for review after my hands-on session, so I'm afraid that review will be late or non-existent. Their CEO is calling for reviewer suggestions on Twitter, though, if anyone's in the mood to lend a voice: twitter.com/minliangtan/status/927967294507982848
That's unfortunate. I hadn't planned to upgrade my S6 Edge+ this year, still love it 2 years in, though developed a hole in my pocket, it slid down and I firmly stepped on it damaging the screen greatly. It's still in one piece and works fine but looking for an upgrade. The Note 8 is my top pick, the LG V30 and Pixel 2 XL came and gone but their screen qualities and lack of interesting features for me didn't compel me to change my mind. The Razer has been the most interesting competition so far, though unfortunately I'm on Verizon so not really an option anyways. Still would be curious to see how you stack it up again the flagships. At least it's a pretty interesting phone if nothing else.
Prathyush raj he's waiting for Razer to send him a review unit, there not much point in him waiting to buy one himself as other reviewers will have already beat him to the punch.
Having now an iPhone X and seeing this review, damn how things changed. FaceID is just instant now, feels like magic. Gestures are just so seamless as well. This phone aged super well, there’s nothing I fell I’m missing out. New iPhones are better but don’t do anything new hardware wise. All software features could’ve been added to the iPhone X if they wanted!
But you don't have to be rich though lol I'm not rich, but I do have a job, good credit, and money saved so i bought the X as my primary and still kept my kidney and I am 100% satisfied with it
This is my first iPhone. Got it because I feel as if Apple finally caught up with the rest of smart phone quality that run Android OS. Honestly, well worth it so far. Most phones outright cost $500-$875. I’ll see how this phone lasts the test of time. My Edge 6 became slow and buggy after a couple of years because of updates and bad apps. Usually prefer HTC, but haven’t seen anything profound from them since my HTC One M7. But yeah, overall, it’s a really good phone. That OLED display is why it costs so much btw.
Chrono Cubing I dont think you will notice a lot of quality diff between 720p and 1080p SloMo vidoes. plus 4k 60fps is great addon, but does that justify 300$ price increase!! Also having a higher geek bench score doesnt matter in day to day tasks( except rendering a video) if it isnt optimised properly like it is now. P.S From all the speedtests ( even from apple fan channels) IphoneX is not faster than other phones(except maybe a sec faster in opening games)
Over the days, I see the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus prices drop drastically. And because the iPhone 8 Plus also has the A11 Bionic chip for AR capabilities, same Potrait Lighting, water resistance and a glass back allowing for wireless charging, I now think that price to performance ratio, the iPhone 8 Plus wins it. It also still retains the home button and fingerprint scanner while still being cheaper than both the iPhone X, Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and other high end flagships. For some reason, after consider, to buy the iPhone 8 Plus instead of the iPhone X seems more feasible because in practical day to day use, it's still as fast as the iPhone X. Waiting for a Review Re-Do from MrMobile next year on the iPhone 8 Plus.
POINTLESS GUY my thoughts exactly, I’m not all the way sold on the X. U get a smaller device with not all the kinks really worked out. I with with the 8 Plus and will not be looking back. It’s a solid device with probably the best battery life from the lineup. Can’t go wrong with it and its features
Well the 8 is basically a X just in the old form factor. Sure you dont get the OLED screen and the FaceID but then again what is wrong with TouchID? I also noticed price reduction in my country and Christmas specials is around the corner so personally I also think the 8 plus is the better buy. But having said that I find it hard to buy the 8 or the X. Still rolling with a 6 plus and considering that the 8 still looks the same is a bit of a bumber for me. And the X is just crazy expensive Really considering a switch to the Note 8 since there is already a lot of specials on them as well and availability is not an issue
Tanvir Shahriar I'm using an Android. And I've owned an iPhone. I'm just saying that anyone who is already in the ecosystem or wanting to get into the best value to performance iPhone for a reasonable price, then buy an iPhone 8 Plus.
If I were considering one (which I actually am to a certain degree), I'd wait for next year. It's a significant redesign from past iPhones and as per the usual for tech companies, there's bound to be teething pains which will be solved next year. As a bonus, it'll probably be cheaper. If you want an iPhone right now and don't want to spend a lot or don't want to be an early adopter, the 8/8+ are excellent options. If you want the X but don't want to be an early adopter, wait for next year
One of the best reviews out there. Pro's and cons that are logical without hating on a brand. Plus you took the right amount off time for the sponsor and it didnt bother me fitted right in the video.
Michael honestly you should work as a consultant for these smartphone companies imho. Your perspective of things is 'legendary'. For me there is you after Elon musk and Steve Jobs.
I don’t mind bezels on phones, I enjoy the luxury of being able to hold my phone comfortably and not purely on the sides and having to worry I’m covering up information on the screen.
the siri button can be remapped (more like given more function) is the thing. Also you could activate bixby with the on screen home button.. but they didnt, the iphone has to put it somewhere.
Phones are already faster and can do more than most normal users need. Manufacturers are now giving us edge to edge screens,not because we need them but because it's another why of getting you to upgrade your already more than adequate device. In the UK the 256GB(the only one to get because of lack of expandable storage) iPhone X is £1149. I'm waiting to see if the oneplus 5T is still around the £500 price tag and waterproof and will be buying that.
WOW Michael..... after almost hearing every reviewer just praising the iPhone way out of proportion you really made it on point.... most sensible review yet.... and that's the only reason I've followed your videos for the last few years..
I feel it's not worth $999 because it's the 1st gen product by Apple and boii the future is much brighter here.Face ID is fast but not perfect. Next year Apple may release iPhone X Plus and it would get this price tag.So I suggest to wait for the next iteration! :)
Great honest unbiased review, thumps up. Problem is, reviewing iPhones is useless, people who wanna get it will get it no matter how good or bad it shows in reviews or what the price , because to them every new iPhone deserves whatever price Apple decides because they just wanna show off their new expensive phone and iMessage, so to them, every new iPhone is worth it
I don't get it.... If anything, this looks more like an android device without the "iconic" home button.... And the gestures?! Blackberry NAILED this with bb10 yet the majority of people didn't respond well to it.
I'm not a subscriber but I am one of those flashy fan boy freaks that actually watched your video all the way through, and I must say well done I especially loved it when you recommended the case company I too believe so much in for protecting my iPhone X. Tech 21 Get it people for any phone out there.
Needless to say your videos are fantastic Mike, I don't know much but I'd say try some more collab videos / ad to get more subscribers dude. More people should see your content IMO
Michael is one of the toughest phone critics yet his reviews are always fair. I’m a huge Apple fanboy and believe that the X is awesome, but not for $1,000. Great video as always man!
Still using my 6s and it’s still fast enough to work all apps and saves me over $1000. I think my 6s could still run another year before a worthy upgrade.
Your sir, just with this honest review got yourself a new subscriber. Thank you for putting the truth out there. I have been an Android user ever since the HTC Desire HD my first smartphone and have never owned an iPhone for all of the reasons you've kindly mentioned plus no option for an micro SD and most importantly everything has to be done through iTunes while with Android it's just drag and drop. Love the "cynical cash grab" soooooo true! Fast charging adapters are standard out of the box for any Android phone. Such an expensive phone with less or outdated features and over $500 to replace a screen. Funny thing is, that metal around the screen still look like bezels. I own a Samsung Galaxy S8+ since its launch and just got the new HTC U11+ also launch day couple of days ago here in Taiwan and they both have more features than the iPhone X. In fact the U11+ with 128GB / 6GB ram, 6 Inch Quad HD display, Quad DAC with Qualcomm aptX HD which through BT 5.0 provides LDAC (3x normal BT speed) 24bit Hi-Res audio WIRELESSLY! IP68 Water resistant, Dual speakers with boom sound Hi-Fi, almost 4000mah battery, Squeeze function which launches an Edge Launcher which is a wheel where you can add all your apps and quick settings and turn it with your thumb which is perfect for one handed use. You can map the long squeeze to launch anything you want. Last but not least, it supports microSD card so I'm using a 256GB but ordered the new 400GB from SanDisk. I paid $700 for the phone and $250 for the microSD card so $950 for this incredible phone with a total storage of 528GB.
Mohammed Yaseen Most people here don't make a grand even though to live nicely that would be the ideal. Minimum wage is less than 300U$ and people are stupid enough to buy thus in installments just so they can say they've got an iPhone, it's sad really. Wish Apple like so many other companies left our country, but people buy it regardless making others companies Moto think that's OK to sell a G5 for almost 500 or even LG charging over a thousand on their G6.
Michael, the price similarities aren't quite that similar between those two. Just got my Note 8 Exynos version brand new for 760$. By the way, love your channel, it's so nice to see the direction where this channel is going:)
Apple heads us Android freaks dont hate you we just don't see how you can show off a phone that uses recycled Tech! And you guys are so passionate about the iPhone is number #1 it just blows everyone else is mind! But to each there own but hands down Mr. Mobile is the most honest & kick ass smartphone reviewer on UA-cam there is! Love you blue!!!
The tech is good on the iPhone. It actually works. Apple studies the tech and gets it right Something android has NEVER BEEN GOOD AT. Samsung makes the android experience HORRIBLE.
29kalel Horrible? Now we no your a fan boy! Sence Galaxy S6 Samsung Experience 8.5(TouchWiz)is amazing! No more slow down after a few months no more childish colors and something you Apple folks know nothing about customization! Yes I could put widgets wherever I want I could put calendars wherever I want whatever I want themes anything can iPhone say that? So I won't go tic for tat but lets just end it here unless you used a Samsung S6 & up for 1month you have no meret here!
I own the iphone x and I am under-whelmed. The black ring around the screen and the notch at the top, coupled with facial rec being buggy and slow - I am returning it. In my defense my second phone is the Samsung 8+ and it appears all of those issues have been dealt with by Samsung...on top of it the X is just too small...I like Apple but they are a little late to the party on this one...
It's hard to believe all of the "I'm an Apple loyalist and switched from my x to an s8/note8 and I love it" stories at this point. If you truly were an Apply fanboy you'd just switch back to the iPhone 8 or 7 or something.
Something like price versus value is subjective and varies from person to person. It’s also odd how the price isn’t brought up in conversations about the Note 8 that’s only $70 cheaper

Darkfire Blast True.
Very true customers should stop buying these expensive phones
The reason being the US is based on credit systems instead of debit system in every other part of the world! US gets carrier options, installments etc whereas rest of the world just wants what they can with the money they have. Let's see when the next economic crisis happens!
This is what marketing does to the brainless sheep out there
Meanwhile, the Razer phone is worth $700 and the essential phone is worth $500.
"The iPhone X is a great smartphone for rich people, or for the Apple loyalist who wants to splurge to celebrate the iPhone's tenth anniversary."
Absolutely nailed it right on the head MrMobile.
Cheers from Worcester County.
Piyath Alawatte What? It's not an anniversary phone and they've barely had enough phones to have loyalist. It's just a phone for people who love stock Android and don't mind the expense.
Asterisk because android fans are rabid and attack apple fans just because their phones are “superior”. Childish tbh
drinmndz I agree although I'm not sure what that has to do with the late few comments.
I'm rich because I don't waste money on over-priced crap like the iPhone X.... LOL
Asterisk there you go lmao 😂
"Great, But Not Grand" genius title XD
Matt But it costs one grand!
Tech With Gabe he means it's not worth a GRAND lol
The iPhone X is cool and all but don’t forget that if you switch to geico you save 15% or more on car insurance
Why tf water so wet ?

rip x
Great but not grand..... As in not worth a grand. I like your style Mr. Mobile.... I like your style
He's always been smooth asf
Great great review man. I love how transparent you are and say things the way they are without sugar-coating anything.
YES! You are the first to address the fact that Apple RIPPED OFF BlackBerry 10 gestures adn they are much WORSE implemented. You are the first reviewer to do so and I applaud you for that.
Michieliosi the reality is that it was ripped from WebOs and the Palm Pre.
Stop Hating. Sheesh
yea well lets say blackberry copied making phone from first company that ever built the phone, or used buttons, or anything... I dont use apple but damm chill guys
No Buddy. Nokia N9 is the phone from which they stole it.
You’re just salty you can’t afford an iPhone X.
Its so funny to me, that so many people are arguing over phones. In the end you'll just spend time on social media, taking calls and texting.
AEZLUS Lol
And porn
Accurate. It's just a tool at the end of the day.
AEZLUS damn true
But still galaxy > iphone
I like this review a lot. It's less than ten minutes, yet it gets the point out. This phone is a great device, but it's for a specific market. There are plenty of other phones that can do better than what the X can do, but because it's Apple and it's their tenth anniversary of the iPhone, they can do what they want to the price and people will still buy it.
Matija Tomic In this case "large" means brainwashed!!
•plenty of other phones that can do better than what the X can do”
Ngo Gia Khanh and you are typing this comment from a $50 phone. How I know? Rich people have a class, you don't have it.
On top of that, watching MrMobile in FHD60fps is dope. I save my data cap for the gorgeously edited stuff like this.
Ahmed Tarek Sorry, I’m using iPhone 7 Plus. And Apple will deliver my iPhone X on the date 12/1 - 12/7 ^^
This is the perfect iPhone X review.
Ramon McNally it's very logical and true
I totally agree
Everyone, throw in your two cents 🗑️

I managed to get the s8 for 550 euros back in june. Seeing as the iphone in Europe will cost upwards if 1200 euros.

Kevin De Smet depends on how much you get charded over say the regular contract without the phone. I did not get it from a carrier usually people who have multiple contracts get a phone for free and they resell it brand new sealed box.

Definitely not the Pixel 2. It's features are even lacking behind the IPhone
In Austria/Europe (64GB) is at $1345 (256GB) is $1554
Kevin De Smet s9 will be crazily expensive and over hyped at over a $1000plus next year so go ahead and get your s8 you'll be glad.
Great review and spot on.
Im the first reply lol
Hi Aoron
3rd reply
Absolutely brilliant review. No hubris, pure quality.
MrMobile is not great. He's grand ;)
Joseph Niblock he's a million!
The phone actually is grand. One grand to be exact.
not true, its literally $999 in the US and 999 in euros/pounds as well lol.

Lmao that profile pic trolled me thought it was a piece of hair on my screen 😂 I hate you 😂 😆 😂
Ankur Sharma me too
You are so damn right to say the iPhone x should not be compared to the Note 8. The Note 8 is in a whole different league.
I AM PROMETHEUS it just offers more... some people might call this a gimmick but personally i rather have a feature i would use rarely than nothing

Is the Razer phone review next?

Oh, that phone. I thought you were talking about the Motorola Razr! :)
Its a great phone but it cost more than my note 8 and does half of what it does.
foxroano9t yes it won’t lag after 3 months 😦
CharlesB It's already on Nougat, Oreo is coming. Stop living in the past KitKat, dude.
TheBudderCweeper Dude, I am talking about Note 8. It is still coming even it takes ages. Am I right?
TheBudderCweeper If you concern about updates then simply get the pixel. At least we have choices in using Android.
TheBudderCweeper Oreo is already in beta testing for the s8 and s8+, it's not going to be that long until they get a final version

And wisely, human. Mr. Spock has tought you well.

1:52 You're in the back of a car and do the 5 click quick call then your phone is like
WEEEW WEEEEW WEEEEW
An honest, complete review.
Best reviewer on UA-cam! You're the truth. This phone is for rich people!
All the flagship phones are.
But you don't have to be rich though lol I'm not rich, but I do have a job, good credit, and money saved so i bought the X as my primary and still kept my kidney and I am 100% satisfied with it
$42 a month is hardly anything.
I think you are the only reviewer who still talks about the actual call quality in your reviews. I appreciate that!
Your such a natural at narrating. Easy to listen to, and informative without al the fluff! Kudos to you!
I'm serious when i say, YOU ARE THE ONLY objective reviewer of phones like the iphone in 2017.

Comparing Iphone X to Note 8 is like comparing apples to durians, ouch.
No phone is worth $1000 or more.
Shawn Vega Velez the iphone X is worth it
Debatable and Subjective.
The note 9 is worth it.
Red Hood it’s worth $400 which I’m glad it’s that price range now
This is my first iPhone. Got it because I feel as if Apple finally caught up with the rest of smart phone quality that run Android OS. Honestly, well worth it so far. Most phones outright cost $500-$875. I’ll see how this phone lasts the test of time. My Edge 6 became slow and buggy after a couple of years because of updates and bad apps. Usually prefer HTC, but haven’t seen anything profound from them since my HTC One M7. But yeah, overall, it’s a really good phone. That OLED display is why it costs so much btw.
So basically, slow-mo videos at 240 fps is the only thing that's revolutionary about the iPhone X?
240 FPS 1080p, 4K 60fps, fastest phone on paper. 3D facial recognition with 3D facial tracking. You forgot those.
No, Sony already did that better (960fps) and like... A year ago.
And Samsung did the iris scanner wich is as safe and fast.
Rick B yeah at 720p
Samuel Wilson That's available In Pixel 2.
Chrono Cubing I dont think you will notice a lot of quality diff between 720p and 1080p SloMo vidoes. plus 4k 60fps is great addon, but does that justify 300$ price increase!!
Also having a higher geek bench score doesnt matter in day to day tasks( except rendering a video) if it isnt optimised properly like it is now.
P.S From all the speedtests ( even from apple fan channels) IphoneX is not faster than other phones(except maybe a sec faster in opening games)
Finally a honest review :-) As always Mr Mobile
Props for not drawing this video out to 10 minutes long, you got the point across very nicely. Subscribed.
The only reviewer that recognized the origin of the swipe gestures (blackberry and palm). Always the best reviews.
Over the days, I see the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus prices drop drastically. And because the iPhone 8 Plus also has the A11 Bionic chip for AR capabilities, same Potrait Lighting, water resistance and a glass back allowing for wireless charging, I now think that price to performance ratio, the iPhone 8 Plus wins it. It also still retains the home button and fingerprint scanner while still being cheaper than both the iPhone X, Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and other high end flagships. For some reason, after consider, to buy the iPhone 8 Plus instead of the iPhone X seems more feasible because in practical day to day use, it's still as fast as the iPhone X.

Apple will never lower their prices they don't need to.

Majed Ghazi other reviewers cant give an honest review or else they wont be in the good graces of the company giving them the phones to review
"No other phone looks just quite like this"
Fast forward to may 2018
I swear, MrMobile is the perfect mix of a tech UA-camr and tech writer in one.
If I were considering one (which I actually am to a certain degree), I'd wait for next year.
It's a significant redesign from past iPhones and as per the usual for tech companies, there's bound to be teething pains which will be solved next year. As a bonus, it'll probably be cheaper.
If you want an iPhone right now and don't want to spend a lot or don't want to be an early adopter, the 8/8+ are excellent options. If you want the X but don't want to be an early adopter, wait for next year
D13H4RD2L1V3 That's exactly how I see it too! Good summary
Sticking with my note 8
Woult have to be a complete idiot to switch to a 1k iphone after just buying a 1k note 8.
Jesse Abraham tbh yes if one phone had more features that it's specific consumer wanted then yes if he had the funds to do it why not switch?
Lol I can never think of going to an iPhone from a note 8
We're all winners .. phones are getting better and better. I enjoy all the features the note 8 provides.
Me too
One of the best reviews out there. Pro's and cons that are logical without hating on a brand. Plus you took the right amount off time for the sponsor and it didnt bother me fitted right in the video.
for me the gestures are from the beginning the best way. feels so natural and much better than the home button.
Michael honestly you should work as a consultant for these smartphone companies imho. Your perspective of things is 'legendary'. For me there is you after Elon musk and Steve Jobs.
Don't let this video distract you from the fact that the iPhone X's side bezels are *THICC*
David hunsinger like the 3g all over again.
Lol
I don’t mind bezels on phones, I enjoy the luxury of being able to hold my phone comfortably and not purely on the sides and having to worry I’m covering up information on the screen.
emperor augustus not as much of an L as apple customers wallets will take if they break their back glass.
Do any android phone have 4 side edge to edge like it , well almost on the top edge
I can see reviews from a thousand people,but only Mr. Mobile is the one,I can trust.Keep up the good work
Finally, a legit review that doesn’t seem to ignore all the shortcomings and sugarcoat everything! You’re the man Mr. Mobile!!!
Every time I think I’m going to go to bed early....but it’s okay because it’s Mr. Mobile 😊
Misha C. I just said last video then got this notification. One more won't kill, although it's after midnight.
Iphone Xpensive
such an original comment
Ezaya Kashiwazaki it’s not even expensive though, 1k is nothing over 2 years. You only have to work for 14 to afford it
Ezaya Kashiwazaki iPhone 10pensive?
I read that as iPhone 10pensive
Ezaya Kashiwazaki It's getting old
I think it's hilarious that the Bixby button was the worst thing ever and now that Apple has a Siri button that's essentially the same, no one cares.
the siri button can be remapped (more like given more function) is the thing. Also you could activate bixby with the on screen home button.. but they didnt, the iphone has to put it somewhere.
I use Siri quite a lot for simple tasks, but yes sometimes you can hold down the home button slightly too long
I love how MrMobile isn't a fanboy for either side. He just gives honest reviews.
You nailed It! Perfect review.
Love your videos Michael! The only honest to the point reviewer out there.*Respect*
Phones are already faster and can do more than most normal users need. Manufacturers are now giving us edge to edge screens,not because we need them but because it's another why of getting you to upgrade your already more than adequate device. In the UK the 256GB(the only one to get because of lack of expandable storage) iPhone X is £1149. I'm waiting to see if the oneplus 5T is still around the £500 price tag and waterproof and will be buying that.
The 5t will be 550 - 600 I'd say
As per the leaks it should be around the same price range.
WOW Michael..... after almost hearing every reviewer just praising the iPhone way out of proportion you really made it on point.... most sensible review yet.... and that's the only reason I've followed your videos for the last few years..
I feel it's not worth $999 because it's the 1st gen product by Apple and boii the future is much brighter here.Face ID is fast but not perfect. Next year Apple may release iPhone X Plus and it would get this price tag.So I suggest to wait for the next iteration! :)
X = 10 iPhone 10 is first gen?
Will pay 500 for my iPhone X
Tango965 first gen of this type of phone. Just like with the 6..7 and all the way up to the 8. Shared basicly the same body style. :)
Anand Rao exactly!!! That’s what I’m doing !!
Prediction: iPhone X Plus will be $1100 :D
Great honest unbiased review, thumps up. Problem is, reviewing iPhones is useless, people who wanna get it will get it no matter how good or bad it shows in reviews or what the price , because to them every new iPhone deserves whatever price Apple decides because they just wanna show off their new expensive phone and iMessage, so to them, every new iPhone is worth it
That’s not true. Plenty of iPhone users are complaining about the price of the X and not buying it.
well yea of course, I don't like 100%, I mean the majority
I don't get it.... If anything, this looks more like an android device without the "iconic" home button.... And the gestures?! Blackberry NAILED this with bb10 yet the majority of people didn't respond well to it.
gusbandicoot I loved the BB10 gestures so much. Still love using my Z10 when I pick it up because of those gestures.
Because #1 Blackberry customer service is horrific and #2. Blackberry phones are super laggy, making the gestures annoying as hell
WeekEnd133 rubbish, bb10 was far from laggy, it could handle multitasking just as good if not better than the current android offerings.
This is due to apple being... apple.
I'm not a subscriber but I am one of those flashy fan boy freaks that actually watched your video all the way through, and I must say well done I especially loved it when you recommended the case company I too believe so much in for protecting my iPhone X. Tech 21 Get it people for any phone out there.
Best Tech reviewer on the planet....
Thanks alot for all of your videos..
honestly the bezels are not small as you think its is
Man, you’ve got the best phone reviews I’ve seen on UA-cam... and I’ve seen a lot
Needless to say your videos are fantastic Mike, I don't know much but I'd say try some more collab videos / ad to get more subscribers dude. More people should see your content IMO
Michael is one of the toughest phone critics yet his reviews are always fair. I’m a huge Apple fanboy and believe that the X is awesome, but not for $1,000.
Great video as always man!
lucky its only $999 in America here in Australia its like $1500 to $ 2000. Like WTF
Phd 100 "Only"
This is probably the most honest review I've seen yet of this phone. Thanks Mr Mobile.
Still using my 6s and it’s still fast enough to work all apps and saves me over $1000.
I think my 6s could still run another year before a worthy upgrade.
Honest review as always loved it 😍😍
Your sir, just with this honest review got yourself a new subscriber.
Thank you for putting the truth out there. I have been an Android user ever since the HTC Desire HD my first smartphone and have never owned an iPhone for all of the reasons you've kindly mentioned plus no option for an micro SD and most importantly everything has to be done through iTunes while with Android it's just drag and drop. Love the "cynical cash grab" soooooo true! Fast charging adapters are standard out of the box for any Android phone. Such an expensive phone with less or outdated features and over $500 to replace a screen. Funny thing is, that metal around the screen still look like bezels.
I own a Samsung Galaxy S8+ since its launch and just got the new HTC U11+ also launch day couple of days ago here in Taiwan and they both have more features than the iPhone X. In fact the U11+ with 128GB / 6GB ram, 6 Inch Quad HD display, Quad DAC with Qualcomm aptX HD which through BT 5.0 provides LDAC (3x normal BT speed) 24bit Hi-Res audio WIRELESSLY! IP68 Water resistant, Dual speakers with boom sound Hi-Fi, almost 4000mah battery, Squeeze function which launches an Edge Launcher which is a wheel where you can add all your apps and quick settings and turn it with your thumb which is perfect for one handed use. You can map the long squeeze to launch anything you want. Last but not least, it supports microSD card so I'm using a 256GB but ordered the new 400GB from SanDisk. I paid $700 for the phone and $250 for the microSD card so $950 for this incredible phone with a total storage of 528GB.
2:37 - "the phone for flashy folks." Right on point, sir.
bought a used X for $350. Still a great phone. And they seem to have improved FaceID a bunch.
Great and honest iPhone X review
Haha saw what you did there with the title.
You gained my respect for not being sold to top manufacturers. You earned another subscriber 😀
2 months later the notch is still selling. Amazing. The people of US is simply amazing
Best review of iphone x
"The phone for the flashy folks"
I returned mines. Too small and narrow. Went with 8 plus. Very happy
I bought it a year later for $600
After getting used to the gesture system I feel like $600 is worth its price
i got an s8 for 500. best deal. i am in love with the phone!
If you guys think it's expensive in US then you need to know that here in Brazil the iPhone X costs the price of a car, I'm not joking
Paulo Eduardo Ribeiro We can literally buy a plane ticket to Miami stay in a hotel for a week and bring one home with the money they charge us here.
heard it cost equivalent to $2300 in brazil. Do stay away from it lol, it's just way too expensive for any phone.
You were Wondering Seriously? I never knew they cost that much.
Thought it would be around 1300-1500$ like in other countries, but this is too much.
Mohammed Yaseen Most people here don't make a grand even though to live nicely that would be the ideal. Minimum wage is less than 300U$ and people are stupid enough to buy thus in installments just so they can say they've got an iPhone, it's sad really. Wish Apple like so many other companies left our country, but people buy it regardless making others companies Moto think that's OK to sell a G5 for almost 500 or even LG charging over a thousand on their G6.
Michael, the price similarities aren't quite that similar between those two. Just got my Note 8 Exynos version brand new for 760$. By the way, love your channel, it's so nice to see the direction where this channel is going:)
its nice to see that unlike many youtubers you speak at consumer level
Apple heads us Android freaks dont hate you we just don't see how you can show off a phone that uses recycled Tech! And you guys are so passionate about the iPhone is number #1 it just blows everyone else is mind! But to each there own but hands down Mr. Mobile is the most honest & kick ass smartphone reviewer on UA-cam there is! Love you blue!!!
The tech is good on the iPhone. It actually works. Apple studies the tech and gets it right Something android has NEVER BEEN GOOD AT. Samsung makes the android experience HORRIBLE.
29kalel Horrible? Now we no your a fan boy! Sence Galaxy S6 Samsung Experience 8.5(TouchWiz)is amazing! No more slow down after a few months no more childish colors and something you Apple folks know nothing about customization! Yes I could put widgets wherever I want I could put calendars wherever I want whatever I want themes anything can iPhone say that? So I won't go tic for tat but lets just end it here unless you used a Samsung S6 & up for 1month you have no meret here!
Samsung is by far the worst android experience. LG and Motorola take the cake for sure, along with Google obviously.

Glad I traded my iPhone 7 plus......
For Note 8
I did the same thing last week👍
Yosua Nangin lol
I had a Samsung S8+ for one month. Now I got an iPhone 8 plus.
No Gusta Sure, whatever floats your boat bro. No hate here. People have different uses and tastes.
why
I have a tech21 case and I love it. It's so much lighter and thinner than any other case that has remotely as much durability. It's amazing!
I remember back when tech.21 cases only came in clear and exposed drop protection material which was bright orange.
Awwweeeeeesome review!! thanks for it
I own the iphone x and I am under-whelmed. The black ring around the screen and the notch at the top, coupled with facial rec being buggy and slow - I am returning it. In my defense my second phone is the Samsung 8+ and it appears all of those issues have been dealt with by Samsung...on top of it the X is just too small...I like Apple but they are a little late to the party on this one...
Nobody believes you! Your are a typical android troll that made the story up!
Sasssysoul Sista Face ID is not buggy nor slow. Rescan your face because it’s clear you don’t know what you are doing. It is fast on my 10
It's hard to believe all of the "I'm an Apple loyalist and switched from my x to an s8/note8 and I love it" stories at this point. If you truly were an Apply fanboy you'd just switch back to the iPhone 8 or 7 or something.
kazz1896 not a troll ...nor droid fan...just speaking from MY EXPERIENCE....
29kalel I know exactly what & how to scan my face...lol...really???
Finally someone highlights Blackberry as the founder of the gesture interface.
Something like price versus value is subjective and varies from person to person. It’s also odd how the price isn’t brought up in conversations about the Note 8 that’s only $70 cheaper
