It is pretty easy to use and I like the size of it. The screen is better than the 6 Plus I had and the footprint of the phone is smaller. I understand you can make a "Virtual" home button but I am getting used to the swipe and facial recognition quickly. I have some accounts already set up to use the facial versus the fingerprint. |

I just sold my iPhone X and am back to a Pixel 2 XL. I'm trying that out and may return it.

Ok I got a bit antsy today and picked up a new iPad Pro 10.5 to replace my unsupported iPad 2nd gen. Huuuuge improvement!

One strange thing is how to close out apps. You swipe from the bottom up and they close. If you want to multi task in apps and close out the old ones, you swipe from the bottom and pause part way up. The apps will all show, you hold down on the apps and a minus sign appears, you kill the apps you want to close out. Had to read on that one to figure it out. My watch did something neat this morning. It is supposed to require a code to unlock, I'm not sure if the facial recognition unlocked it or what but I did not have to put in a code this morning. I'll see what happens after the update it is doing now. The camera on the new phone is pretty damn nice. Took some nice pictures of the dogs yesterday and they came out as good as our digital camera. Oh turning off the phone is different. You hold down the right button and once then press one of the volume buttons to bring up the slider to shut down. Some neat things on the phone. I do like the size. The phone is about the size of my 6s Plus but it is all screen so in reality it is a large screen than the 6 but less bulk. It actually fits in my pocket comfortably. |

Thanks for all the advice so far, I’m really glad I opted for the 10 over the 8. My wife got an 8 and activated it yesterday and is happy with it but I think once she sees the 10 she’ll be wishing she got one

Woohoo, mine supposedly arrived today, too bad I'm stuck at work until late, it'll probably be the weekend before I get it up and running.
Update: I’m really liking this phone, it is taking some time to figure out, but the the screen size is perfect! |

Screenshots are volume + and power, shutting the phone off is volume - and power since both of those used the home button |

The more I use the phone the better I like it. You are right about the screen size. A couple of tech nerds at work are wishing they would have ordered one now.

It's here it's here! Without a case it exactly the same size as my iphone 6s in the case, so it's really not any larger than what i'm used to carrying. It's about done being restored now

Gonna pay retail for a Samsung Galaxy S8+ on Friday and give GWiz my S7 Edge (grandfather data plan). She has an Edge that she broke the screen on. She got the $250 insurance money to fix hers, but I'll just give her mine and let her keep the two fiddy.

My wife has had a cracked screen on her iPhone 5s for a couple of years. It's not super noticeable but there. I noticed it for the first time and said "Hey, your screen is cracked." She said "No, that's just a wrinkle in the screen protector." I said "No, that's your screen protector holding that shit together!" She doesn't seem to mind it and it doesn't affect the phone any currently.
