The display really is edge-to-rounded-edge and manages to run completely across the glass and into the stainless steel band around the sides. And that's important because when people complain about the size of a phone, it's not really the screen size they're talking about. Still, it allows Apple to fit an iPhone Plus-sized display into a regular iPhone-sized chassis. Apple has rounded them off, aggressively. At least it would if iPhone X had corners. iPhone X's design is completely dominated by an expansive OLED display that measures 5.8-inch corner-to-corner.

And I'll update this review throughout the next week and month. I'll still walk you through all the little details and give you a ton of #protips. Attention aware interactivity is the bomb. Face ID is so fast I'm forgetting I have a passcode. There are things I'd love to see changed. So far, it's the most fun I've had with any gadget since the original iPhone. ![]() I've now spent a week with iPhone X as my primary device.
