As a current owner of the iPhone X I feel that the notch is no longer bother some. The camera on this beauty is stunning it is the only phone on the market right now to be able to record 4K at 60 FPS. The images that are captured on the phone are absolutely stunning. Dont get me wrong. the pixel 2's portrait mode blows this phone right out of the park but there are certain advantages to this pjone. In order to fully hamess the capabilities of an IOS device a person must try it with an ipad or a macBook pro to see hos smooth and hassle free the ecosystem is.
