Engadget Review
The iPhone X is the most radical change to the iPhone formula ever, and despite some concerns, Apple has built a seriously impressive machine. We love its build quality and comfortable design, not to mention its expansive screen and great performance. The makeover here is drastic, though, and it'll take some time to really get used to Face ID and life without a home button. Stick with it and you'll find that the iPhone X is a surprisingly easy device to live with. Of course, since this is a first-gen device, it has its flaws. Not everyone will love the notch, the interface could use a little more polish, and a bigger battery would've been nice. Suffice to say, the iPhone definitely isn't right for everyone right now -- still, it provides a strong foundation for the iPhones of tomorrow to build on.
Apple’s latest reinvention will take some getting used to.

It's still the iPhone you want.phoneArena90Apple iPhone X ReviewIt feels like a prototype for Apple's next-year phone. Aside from $1000 bucks, there's nothing else stopping you from getting a taste of that future, today, but you'll have to put up with the compromises that come with this privilege.TechRadar90iPhone X reviewLosing the home button and altering the design was a dangerous move, but one that was sorely needed after years of similarity and the premium design, extra power, all-screen front mix together to create - by far - the best iPhone Apple's ever made.CNBC90CNBC reviews the $1,150 new iPhone X — the bestThe iPhone X is the best iPhone Apple has ever made — as it should be.

The device has already sold out, so there’s clearly plenty of people willing to pay it.

Be careful as screen scratches easily.
