iPhone X: Initial Review

New Phone, who dis?

**Fun fact: Apple didn't skip 9 (well technically they did) but the reason there is 8 and X (or 10, however you wanna say it) is because it's the 10th anniversary phone**

Alrighty so for those of you that know me, there are two facts when it comes to phones: It's going to be an iPhone and if it's too different or new, I'm gonna hate it. So I took a gamble when I saw I was eligible for an upgrade from my iPhone 7 and got the iPhone X. I even went as far as getting up at 3am on October 27th to preorder it (and go through the nightmare of a website not designed for that much traffic and inevitably having a rep order it and getting me in the like 5th group to get my phone).

On my personal social media I was seeing mixed reviews when people started getting theirs. Mine FINALLY showed up last Wednesday right after I went to work so by the time I got it all activated and backed up and what not it was Thursday morning. With that being said, I've had the phone for only 4 days so I can't confidently give a full review, thus the initial part.

Here's what I've gathered so far.

• I miss the home button. I liked being able to physically click it on. However, I didn't like how the thumbprint would open to the home screen when you clicked it even if you just wanted to check time. 
• The facial recognition is still slightly creepy but it's damn good. Glasses, safety glasses, dark, dim, hair up, hair down, I haven't had any issues at all. 
• The camera and speakers are FANTASTIC! I'm so impressed.
• I'm not pleased that the battery indicator is gone.. I need to know my percentage without having to drag down a screen.
• The bigger screen is pretty sweet and the phone has a great feel to it. Little weighty but not too heavy.
• Closing apps is a bit more time consuming. I think. 
• I literally had to google how to turn the phone off and do screenshots. Now that I know how to do it, I think I like it. 

I'm planning to give it a month or so and do a full/follow up post to tell y'all about battery life, durability, performance, and maybe even get some outside reviews if any of y'all would like to share your opinion. 

Things I Love: MacBook

This is wayyyyy overdue. But it popped into my head because I'm using it to write this post (exciting I know).

Anyways, I absolutely looooooove my MacBook. It's a 13" MacBook Pro that I got almost a year ago and I honestly have nothing bad to say about it. I've never had any problems with it, its fast, plenty of memory, basically designed just for me or I guess the user, and I just couldn't be happier with it. So for those of you going off to college and looking for a new laptop, go Mac. I had a dell before this it was a 15" (which I found to be really big and bulky) and within a couple weeks I had the blue screen of death and it repeatedly shut down in the middle of my projects and deleted all my stuff. It was beyond irritating and it wasn't reliable at all. My Mac is so sleek and it fits in with all my school books without being a big pain and the touch pad is way less irritating and I just highly recommend it. :)
