So, since the recent stealing of my iPhone SE (let’s not go into detail about that), I saved up enough money to get myself a new iPhone XS in gold with 256 GB capacity. Yes, it’s a ton of storage, yes I can probably fit all of my music on it, yes I know it’s a huge upgrade from the SE and yes I know it’s a £1149 phone, but it’s very good quality and I think the price is justified. “Why do you think the price is justified?”, look at the technology that has gone into it, the amount of sensors and cameras on the top and the ten total sapphire lenses on the back cameras, I’m surprised this phone doesn’t cost more honestly. What I’m not that impressed about is the OLED display, it doesn’t look as good as LCD and it seems like there’s a small checkerboard effect on the screen. I really don’t see why people are that fussed about OLED. The cameras are much better than the iPhone SE obviously, and the Face ID is more secure than Touch ID in most respects. The gestures are fluent and I had no trouble learning them, they feel natural and a joy to use. The build quality is on point for an Apple product and the X/XS with their glass backs feel like a callback to the Steve Jobs era of Apple. Overall, I’m very happy with my iPhone XS, even if the price for some people is a bit steep. All I have to say for that is, get a job and git gud, maybe you’ll be able to afford things then.

Thank you for reading this post, see you in the next one.
