I³'m satisfied with the product, it³'s well made and the price is also satisfying.

This is my first iPhone (not counting the iPhone xr I bought for my son a few months ago for his medical needs).
Earlier, I exclusively used mid-range Android ($250-$500) cellphones. Each successive smartphone served me faithfully for 1-1.5 years until the moment when the freezes and extremely slow operation of the smartphone began. This is what prompted me to switch to an iPhone. Yet, the typical methods of increasing productivity (adding more memory, wiping the phone clean in various ways, reverting to factory settings) had a negligible impact (if they had any at all). But, despite the incident and Apple's widespread reputation, every Apple product owner I've spoken to has informed me that their devices are completely free of any such malware or spyware after 3 or 4 years. In the end, I determined that the only way to find out is to try, so I made the investment in this particular model. It's been over 2 months since I started using it. I recognize that my lack of knowledge is to blame for many of my flaws, and I welcome any effort to improve my literacy levels.
In a couple years, when I know for sure if the primary goal has been met, I will be able to draw my final judgement about this smartphone. Nonetheless, I can tell that the gadget is, to put it mildly, contentious for my taste, especially considering the price.

Pros

As for number one, well, everything is in the air right now. There is no lag or freezing at all; the experience is swift and fluid throughout. Till now, this has been a great experience, however I would acknowledge that the first few months on less expensive Androids were much the same. The length of time required for this kind of work will determine everything. As a result, this added benefit is more of an improvement. 2. Superb imaging device (compared to my previous models). Despite the fact that contemporary smartphones are equipped with amazing cameras and software (I saw pictures from huawei p30 pro - very cool). My opinion: I enjoy the way hdr functions. Anyway, that video is incredible. Third, the audio quality is superb. And everything, including interactive media and the flow of speech. 4. a stylish appearance (I'm thinking space gray here). Simple yet fashionable and seemingly sturdy. 5. Excellent cellular and 4G service. Nice wifi receiver, the speed is higher than on all my other devices. Size is almost perfect; on the one hand, the screen is quite huge because of a good useable area. One-handed operation is a must-have feature for me, on the other hand. To get a second hand on anything, you already have to attract it. 8. Face recognition system deployment. I find facial id to be a contentious issue in general. Unfortunately, face id does not work when the phone is in a horizontal position, which is how I like to use the navigation app when I'm driving. Yet, when placed vertically, it performs nearly flawlessly; this allows for comparison. 9. A program that works flawlessly. In the first place, it's worth noting that the factory-installed software is quite solid. Also, the design aesthetic of iPhone apps tends to be more engaging. 10 Despite my apprehensions, I found iOS's controls to be intuitive, and making the switch from Android to iOS was surprisingly easy. 11 e-sim I have never used one of these, but I would imagine they might be useful while traveling.

Cons

Oled display, subjectively the best. Even the iPhone couldn't change my mind about how little I enjoy smartphones. It's a tad too yellow and lacks TrueTone for my liking. also, the colors look a little off in general. I fiddled around with the settings and found the least unpleasant ones, but it wasn't much. The white color is still little off-color. At the same time, the color temperature shifts to something colder and more pleasing when viewed at an angle. But you won't be squinting at your smartphone. IPS-matrices, with their usual white color and cool color reproduction, have always been the ones with which I've been most familiar. When put next to the identical XR, I realize that its display is much more to my liking (I didn't grab it for myself because to its bulk). And yet, it's true that the oleda's black color is even darker. Nonetheless, I place less value on this than I do on accurate color reproduction in general. To be fair, though, it should be mentioned that at this very moment, your eyes are not tiring at all. 2 The power of the batteries. Despite the iPhone's potential to be mass-produced, its 2650 mAh battery capacity is, to put it mildly, ridiculously low. With typical iPhone use, a single day's worth of juice won't even get you through the day without having to recharge your device in the evening. In my opinion, this is not appropriate for a phone costing more than 50,000. After two years, the battery life on my old Huawei Nova was better than on my new iPhone. A lack of a gate. An additional battery pack is something I'm considering purchasing. Third, the conventional methods of increasing physical memory are insufficient. Poor performance of the "WiFi Help" feature. Comparable functionality on Android makes more certain and prompt transitions across networks. 5. A volume knob that is awkward to use. The alarm clock's volume being tied to the phone's seems particularly out of place. While using an Android device, adjusting the volume is as simple as pressing the volume key, unfolding the menu, and adjusting one of four individual sliders. Sixth, the included charger is a joke. Never before have I used such a sluggish charge. In order to charge with 12 watts, I had to purchase a new charger. Given the cost of the device, this is simply rude.
