On the day of the release date on November 3, I succeeded in obtaining "iPhone X".On the day, a photo review (hereinafter referred to as) was released, taking a photo of the open photo and summarizing the design of "iPhone X" and the lightly used impressions.

--- Is this the "future of a smartphone" that the public praised?
In fact, "iPhone X" may be the future of a smartphone.A wireless charging function that allows you to manipulate your smartphone with just gesture control and charge without worrying about cables without the need for a physical button called a home button.In addition, a face authentication function that can unlock just by showing your face.
"IPhone X" has changed significantly from the previous iPhone operation method, and has been able to do so.But where is the vague "future of smartphones" specifically on "iPhone X"?
In the same article, we explain the functions of "iPhone X" carefully, and at the same time, explained that we found "iPhone X" for two days.Furthermore, I will explore the "future of smartphones" that the terminal hides, and try to draw the future of iPhone (smartphone).
"IPhone X" has a lot of different points from the conventional iPhone.The biggest change in it is the abolition of the home button.
Until now, the iPhone has changed various changes from 30 -pin Dock connector to Lightning, large screen size, and eliminated earphone terminals, but the home button continues to be installed from the first iPhone.It was like a kind of trademark.
However, in the iPhone X, the home button was abolished on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the series.Almost all operations are now performed with gestures.With the change in the operation that I have been used to, some users have been confused, and the writer, who has been in the iPhone eight years, has been used in only 5 minutes.
This is not because I have a high understanding of the author, but simply because the operation performed with the home button has just shifted to a home indicator (a thin bar at the bottom of the screen).
Switching the app may be confusing at first, but the operation similar to the iPad of "iOS 11" had a sense of unity and did not struggle until it was established.Personally, I was very happy that I was able to switch apps on the left and right swiping of the home indicator, and that my work was faster.
Although the display method of the control center and the notification center has changed, it can be said that it is easier to understand because it only swipes both sides of the notch (concave) area called "sensor housing" installed at the top of the terminal.
However, operations other than gesture control (screenshot shooting or power off) need to be used properly, so there are some parts that are intuitively difficult to understand.I think that you will get used to it as you use it, but it is undeniable that the abolition of the home button is coming to various buttons.
The abolition of the home button has a significant impact on the design of the terminal as well as the operation method.The screen size of "iPhone X" is 5.Although it has grown the largest in the past, 8 inches (diagonal), the display spread throughout the terminal and became a bezeleless, the size of the terminal itself was smaller than the "PLUS" model.Thanks to this, it has become one of the easiest terminals in successive iPhones.
In that sense, the abolition of the home button may have been inevitable.In recent years, smartphones have been increasing, but on the other hand, users have been calling for compactness.Perhaps the abolition of the home button was the only "solution" that satisfies both "voices seeking large size" and "voices for compactness".
By the way, the "iPhone X" screen is the first organic EL display in the series.Apple calls the SUPER Retina display, but the screen is more clearly reflected than the conventional iPhone screen.Furthermore, because it is good for black expressions, the boundary between the sensor housing and the screen becomes ambiguous, and the illusion of the entire front is on the screen.This area is mentioned in a photo review, so I would be grateful if you could see it.

The abolition of the home button means breaking up with the "Touch ID" for the iPhone series.At one point, it was rumored to be planning to embed a "Touch ID" on the screen, but it seems that it was settled down by the unification of the face recognition function "Face ID".
This "Face ID" recognizes the user's face with an infrared light and detects whether it is the person.It is mainly used to release the screen lock, but will also be used in payment -related, such as "Apple Pay".The recognition accuracy is quite high, and Apple confidently announced that the misunderstanding of "Face ID" (the probability of other users break through face authentication) only once every million times.I was.
I was worried about the accuracy of "Face ID", so I checked the authentication accuracy of the function.
First, authenticate with your own face.When you hold your face, it is authenticated in an instant, only about 1 second to unlock.Even if you swipe without waiting for authentication, the home screen starts up instantly.I was able to authenticate faster than the "Touch ID" and started using the iPhone smoothly.
However, it is necessary to authenticate from the front of "iPhone X", and if you try to authenticate diagonally in front of "iPhone X", you often do not do well.
It is not possible to tilt the head or authenticate in a upside down.When lying down in a bed, you need to lift it according to your face angle.That point can be authenticated at any angle if it is a "Touch ID", so it may be inconvenient if it is inconvenient.Of course, since the person's authentication cannot be completed in the clothes pocket, when using "Apple Pay", it is necessary to put out an iPhone and complete the face authentication.
In addition, since the probability of incorrect recognition is low, I checked if other people could be authenticated.
The result is, of course, cannot be authenticated.However, it seems that it is recognized that it is the face of another person, and "iPhone X" shakes the icon lock as soon as "does not unlock".
By the way, even if you were a person, you could put on your favorite hat, wear glasses and sunglasses, or even wear "Tsukige" sold as a party goods at a 100 yen shop.
However, if you try to authenticate while hiding from your nose, you will not be able to recognize it well, and it may not be good when the mask is attached, so it may be often troubled in Japan in Japan.
However, there are not many cases where face authentication fails.Rather, those with hyperhidrosis and those who have a lot of rough hands often have not been able to pass the "Touch ID" authentication, so some of them are very pleased with the introduction of "Face ID".Considering them, you can think that Face ID has succeeded in replacing the "Touch ID".
This "Face ID" is a function that can be said to be a "Touch ID" upward compatibility, but unfortunately it is inferior to "Touch ID" in terms of "a certain point".That is, only one face can be registered.
Until now, the "Touch ID" has been able to register up to five users' fingers, so up to five users could share one terminal.However, "Face ID" can register only one face, so the second and subsequent users need to enter the passcode.
Smartphones are basically a mountain of personal information, so few people may share with their families and others, but some of them have registered fingerprints so that they can unlock each other or family.
It may be a problem now because it is an iPhone, but "Face ID" will be introduced on iPad etc. eventually.The iPad has many opportunities for multiple people, so I'm worried about what specifications will be.
There is also a useful function unique to "iPhone X" equipped with "Face ID".It is about the setting of "Notification Preview" that can be changed from "iOS 11".
If the notification preview setting is set to "only when it is not locked", only the lock screen notification will be displayed, "notification of ◯ case" will be displayed, and others will not be peeked into the notification.
This can be used on the iPhone equipped with the conventional home button, but the "iPhone X" can be unlocked just by showing the face to the terminal, so the owner of the terminal will inevitably look into the terminal.The content of the notification is displayed only when you are.
Of course, the terminal is locked again when others look into it, so the display is only for the app name and "◯ notification".It is quite convenient that this switch is performed automatically just by looking into the iPhone, and there is a sense of security.
The "iPhone X" is equipped with a new function called "Ani Character", which uses an infrared sensor mounted on the front to convert the expression of the user into emoticon animation.
The function can be used from the message application, and it can reflect your expression on the emoticon character and send it to the other party as it is.Of course, it is possible to make sound.
To use "Ani characters", first open the message app and tap the emoticon displayed under the message input bar.Then, the character is displayed, and the reading of the expression starts immediately.The character can be changed from the left bar, and at this time it is possible to select 12 types of characters.
The reading performance of the infrared sensor is quite high, and the changes in the detailed expression are firmly reflected in the character.Apple's emoticon characters are not cute for flattering, but it's very interesting to see how the expression changes according to their expression.It is not a function that must be done, but if you use it effectively during the conversation, it will definitely make conversation fun.
Here is the appearance of using "Ani characters".

However, when I actually used it, I thought that the distance from the sensor was a little difficult, and there were many situations where the face was not recognized well.If you tilt your head, you may not be recognized if you tilt too much, so it is forbidden to move too much.
Also, there are few characters that can be used.Perhaps it will be more and more new characters in future updates, but it may be better to think that it is still a bonus function until then.
"IPhone X" has a wireless charging function.A coil for wireless charging is built in the back of the terminal, and the battery can be charged simply by placing it on a charging port.
Until now, when charging the iPhone, it is necessary to use a Lightning connector to charge with a wired, so if you have to stand up during charging or after charging, you will need to remove the iPhone from the cable.I needed one work.
However, in the case of wireless charging, just bring the iPhone on the charger.You can really stand elegant.
However, there are, of course, there are scenes that think that wireless charging is inconvenient.For example, when you want to use an iPhone while charging.Until now, if you use a slightly longer cable, you can lie down on the bed while charging, but it is impossible to use the wireless charging, as it is necessary to put an iPhone on the charger.
For the time being, there is a wireless charger that can be charged with the iPhone standing up, but even if you use it, you can watch the video at best.If you want to lie on a bed while charging, it would be better to charge with wired as before.
Also, wireless charging is not very suitable when you want to charge in a hurry.This is because wireless charging is large when transmitting power, and the charging speed is not so fast.
Wireless chargers such as "Belkin Boost Up Wireless Charging Pad [Review]" and "Mophie Wireless Charging Base" sold on the Apple official website are 7 future updates..5W high -speed wireless charging will be possible, but the price of these chargers is 6,980 yen (excluding tax).
Some people may not feel the need to spend so much to speed up wireless charging.As a writer, I don't think high -speed wireless charging is absolutely necessary, so I would like to consult with my wallet and judge whether to buy it.
By the way, the battery owners cannot be felt much different compared to the conventional iPhone.However, according to Apple, the battery has been improved for 2 hours from the iPhone 7, but the battery life has been slightly worse in comparison from the iPhone 7 Plus.
昨日、iFixitが「iPhone X」の分解レポートを公開しており、中のバッテリー容量は2,716mAhであることが判明。「iPhone 7 Plus」のバッテリー容量は2,990mAhだったことから、「iPhone X」のバッテリー容量はわずかに減少していることがわかる。
However, the "iPhone 8 Plus (2,691mAh)", which also reduces the battery capacity, has almost the same battery driving time as "iPhone 7 Plus", so the "iPhone X" battery has "iPhone 7 Plus".The short reason compared to the "iPhone 8 Plus" is probably because the power consumption is simply increased.I personally see that the cause is in an infrared sensor for "Face ID", but the details are unknown.
From here on, about the camera performance of "iPhone X".
"IPhone X" has two cameras, inside and back cameras, and the camera on the back has a dual lens specification like "iPhone 7 Plus" and "iPhone 8 Plus".
The telephoto camera is F2.8 to F2.It is an impression that a slightly brighter photo can be taken due to the change to a bright lens of 4, but the image quality has not been greatly improved and there is not much dramatic change.However, if you look at the details such as the tips and wrinkles, the image quality is improved, and the telephoto lens has a built -in optical blur correction, so you can take photos that do not blur even if the shutter speed is slow.rice field.
By the way, if you look at the photos you shot on "iPhone X", it looks very beautiful.The reason is that the screen depiction has become beautiful, so if you send a photo taken with "iPhone 7 Plus" to "iPhone X" and preview it, depending on the photo, the difference is that it is unlikely to be a picture taken on the same terminal.You can feel it.
Of course, "iPhone X" can also use a portrait mode, so you can take a photo with a blurred surrounding body.This is the same as the functions mounted on the iPhone 7 Plus and the iPhone 8 Plus.
However, "iPhone X" goes further."IPhone X" allows you to take portrait photos with the in -camera, so you can post photos that are easily Instagram.In addition, the "portrait lighting" function that was first adopted in the "iPhone 8" series is equipped with a function that brighter the skin of the subject and automatically process the background.
Normally, it is necessary to process it using apps and dedicated software, but all of them can be completed in the iPhone.Moreover, with one tap when taking a picture.
There are five portrait lighting: "natural light", "studio lighting", "contour emphasis lighting", "stage lighting", and "stage lighting (mono)".
This portrait lighting can be taken not only in the in -camera, but also with the back camera, so please enjoy taking photos with your favorite effects.
Let's lightly mention the performance of "iPhone X".Naturally, the iPhone has improved its performance every year, and the processing performance of this year's iPhone has evolved significantly.
I tried to measure the benchmark score in "Geekbench 4", so please take a look.
As you can see, the processing performance of "iPhone X" is comparable to the 13 -inch model "MacBook Pro 2017".
The newly adopted "A11 Bionic" processor supports this high -speed process.It is a 6 -core chip composed of two high -performance cores and four high -efficiency core.
In the numbers, we were able to know that it was nearly several percent of the iPhone 7 Plus and had high potential.
However, it is not honest to be able to realize the difference.The processing speed does not change to "iPhone 7 Plus" in most actions, such as starting multitasking, switching apps, and video playback, and if there is a difference, "iPhone X" is slightly faster.I couldn't feel a big difference.
Although the processing performance is no longer high, it will be difficult to find a difference unless you play a high -load 3D game that can be muddy even with the performance of the iPhone 7 Plus.The conclusion is that there is no need to choose "iPhone X" in terms of processing performance.
The waterproof performance of "iPhone X" is IP67 grade.This has the same level of waterproof performance as the "iPhone 7" and "iPhone 8" series.
The situation of using the iPhone at the water is quite limited, but there is a risk of accidentally submerging in everyday life.Since I maintain a large aquarium with a width of 120cm wide at home, I can work with great peace of mind if the iPhone is waterproof.Basically, waterproof performance will not be high.
In addition, I compared the sound quality of the speaker with "iPhone 7 Plus", but the impression that "iPhone X" has improved sound quality.While the sound was slightly rich, the "iPhone X" speaker became stronger, making it clearer.
"IPhone X" seems to be louder without the heart, so that a more powerful sound comes out.I felt that the performance of the speaker was improving overall, with the other party's voice more clearly even during speaker calls.
Up to this point, we have introduced the function of "iPhone X" in detail.It is a 10th anniversary terminal that has made a major change from the conventional terminal, but there are some parts that are difficult to use and some needs to improve.
For example, the battery remaining amount cannot be displayed.Antenna picts and battery icons are displayed in the small area on the right side of the sensor housing, but the battery level cannot be expressed in numbers because the area is too narrow.
In order to check the battery level with numbers, it is currently required to open a control center.Personally, I think that the battery remaining amount can be displayed in numbers by tapping the battery icon, but will it come when it comes true?
Also, although I do not feel that much, some users have said that the "Face ID" recognition accuracy is poor.If you can't recognize it well, depending on the environment you use, Apple will need to improve your Face ID a little more.
And the major causes that many users are reluctant to buy is the high terminal price.In the SIM -free version, 64GB, the smallest storage capacity, is 112,800 yen (excluding tax), and 64GB and missing users need to purchase a higher price of 256GB (price is 129,800 yen, excluding tax).
Also, although few people are as dissatisfied with the terminal price, the weight of the iPhone X is about 30g heavier than the "iPhone 8 Plus".Because smartphones are used in your hand, you may be worried about using it for a long time.
Finally, many people have been dissatisfied from the release, which is still less compatible with the screen size of "iPhone X".It is a fact that a major one does not support a good number of apps, and users who purchased "iPhone X" at an early stage have inconvenienced thoughts.
I think that this will gradually solve this over time, but I feel that it will continue to be inconvenient for a while.If your favorite app doesn't support, you'll need to devise it, such as using other apps until the response is performed.
It may be detailed, but there are many other parts that require corrections.In that sense, "iPhone X" may not be a complete terminal at this time.This area is a place where you want to look up for brushing up by future adjustments.
Apple's attempt on iPhone X was a great success.This is because the iPhone X has begun to be accepted as early as a smartphone standard.
In fact, besides the abolition of the home button, the operation has changed, and even the writer who thought that it would be difficult was unexpectedly familiar to new operations.Probably, many users who have "iPhone X" have already begun to use them as usual.
Apple has greatly changed its basic operation to the "home button abolition" level since the first "iPhone", which introduced "home button" and "touch screen".Before that, it seems to go back to the click wheel mounted on the iPhone's predecessor "iPod".
However, it may be easy if you just change the appearance, but it is not easy to change what you did not need to change for 10 years and make something easy to use.Apple should have bothered how to resolve the uncomfortable feeling without a home button.
However, the "iPhone X" development team has been able to solve it brilliantly, achieves both "enlarged screen" and "compactness," and realizes a smarter system than ever before.Furthermore, since the wireless charging is installed, there is nothing more to tie the iPhone because the earphone terminal has been abolished last year.The appearance of "iPhone X" is exactly the "future smartphone" and itself.
In commemoration of the 10th anniversary, the terminal gave the name "X (Ten)", but I personally feel that it has a strong prototype meaning.
It is impossible for Apple to create a perfect terminal while creating a completely new device.Perhaps after seeing the user's reaction, Apple has already started developing a new device based on the iPhone X, and next year's terminals will appear on the iPhone X.
Remember, the first time IPhone was excited every time it was announced, but unfortunately I couldn't feel it with a recent iPhone.The reason was that no matter how good the performance was, I couldn't feel the future of the recent iPhone.
However, "iPhone X" reminds us of the excitement that the first iPhone showed us, reminiscent of the future.The proof is that the writer has been excited after a long absence in this one, where the "future of smartphones" was condensed tightly.
The future of the smartphone presented by Apple.From now on, I would like to think slowly and how the iPhone and smartphone industry will change, and for the year before the new model next year appears, I would like to get along with Apple's new boyage, which is attracted by "iPhone X" for a while.think.
