The 7 reasons why you should not buy the iPhone X

iPhone X

Undoubtedly, above all and due to the enormous expectation caused for months due to a surprising number of leaks of all kinds, many have been those who, after seeing the presentation of the new Apple flagship, we talk about the iPhone X, they have been completely disappointed waiting for much more important developments in terms of design and even architecture. In this post, we will talk about the why is it not interesting to buy a device like this.

It is true that, at least for now, we cannot be so blunt and come to the conclusion that a terminal like the iPhone X is not interesting enough, for this we will first have to be able to get our hands on it, try it enough and then express this opinion. Even so, there are many novelties and some, at least that is what it seemed to us during its presentation, they are not reason enough why someone should abandon their current high-end phone and give their money to Apple.

IPhone X comes with a one-piece body with a glass finish

One of the details that Apple has insisted on the most and that they have truly presented as an unparalleled novelty in this smartphone, has been the commitment to creating a terminal with a one-piece body and finished in glass. In favor of Apple we have that, according to the American company, we are not facing an ordinary glass that can be broken easily since they have literally presented it as the hardest glass in the world.

Now this also has its downside. From my personal point of view, we can refer perfectly to that iPhone 7 presented last year in a glossy black finish, which, due to its surface, practically all its owners have ended up buying a case. A beautiful finish that is finally hidden behind a cover.

With this in mind, surely it does not cost too much to understand that a mobile like the iPhone X, a terminal whose price exceeds 1.000 euros in Spain, does not leave the store without a cover, something that in turn will help mitigate the possible footprints that will end up appearing, highlights that causes its surface and dirt that usually accumulates all kinds of crystals.

Base price that in Spain will easily exceed the 1.000 euro barrier

If in the previous point we have talked about the price, now we will dedicate a whole section to it since, as you will surely know, since yesterday it was announced by Apple itself, in the United States the starting price for the lower capacity version that will hit the market is $ 999, a price that Apple Spain has already officially published will rise in our country to $1.150.

Once again, we see that unmarked rule is repeated that, generation after generation, the price of a new Apple product rises considerably. On this occasion, many are the people who argue that 32 GB capacity is finally abandoned for the base model on this device to go on to offer a 64 GB version, something that should be 'catch with tweezers'.

Once again the intermediate option disappears, only 64 or 256 GB versions

We continue spinning with the possible problems that we can see at the level of internal characteristics to a terminal like this. On this occasion we will mention the different capacities with which it reaches the market, something that has undoubtedly shocked a lot among Apple followers who see how the company literally forces them to buy a mobile with much more capacity than they really need if they don't want to walk 'righteous by heart'.

This is one of the big problems that every potential buyer encounters when deciding which version of iPhone they want to buy. This time the decision will be 64 or 256 GB, a decision that practically forces you to go through the box and leave you much more money in the 256 GB version If you are one of those people who will use a device like this especially to take photos and videos.

Face ID

Touch ID comes to an end

Without a doubt we are facing one of the most curious topics on the market since, I still remember how during the presentation of that powerful, at that time, iPhone 5S, Apple sold us as something really special and capable of ensuring access at all times to our terminal a technology such as touch ID.

After yesterday's presentation, it undoubtedly seems that this technology, perhaps because it is already used by all its competitors, sometimes even in a much more optimal way, is a thing of the past. Of course, somehow they have to sell us the large investment they have made in the development of Face ID.

iOS-11

Interface that will force us to learn endless new gestures

One of the problems with having removed the physical button from the iPhone X means that literally every owner of a phone like this is forced to learn endless new gestures with which they will now have to control certain functionalities of the operating system, something that was previously as simple as pressing the beautiful and already characteristic circular button of the terminal once or several times.

This, and I speak as a developer, is an extremely complicated challenge since you have to demonstrate not only that the gestures must be natural and intuitive enough for anyone to quickly get used to using them. At the moment, the truth is that the response seems quite fast although, on the other hand, it is especially striking that the rest of the terminals presented continue to bet on a physical button ... Is it just a proof of concept? Will this interface reach more devices?

A very large screen with a huge black spot on the top

Undoubtedly one of the features that we like the most about the iPhone X is its new screen and as this is practically present on almost the entire surface of the terminal, I say almost all of it since that huge black spot that is right at the top of the itself, however necessary it may be, does not look very good.

Many are those who can argue that no application will make use of that area because it is exclusively used for the terminal's notification bar, which is necessary to house several sensors of the terminal ... all very well, it is a 'hit' and In the market there are already other alternatives that have solved this problem, alternatives that do not have a price higher than 1.000 euros.

iphone X water

A very nice external structure, but it is not submersible

It is true that for many users, the issue of whether or not a terminal can be submersible does not worry them too much since, if it can be, they will not put it in water either. Even so, while all manufacturers are betting on offering this feature, Apple once again lags a step behind, or two.

This time Apple offers us a terminal with protection IP67 which means that the terminal does have total protection against dust although it can only be submerged in water up to a maximum of one meter, then there is the issue of Apple's guarantee that, in the absence of the iPhone X arriving to the market, until now in the iPhone 7, with the same protection, it said verbatim that Apple was not responsible for a terminal damaged by liquids ...
