iPhone X, where’s the ‘S’? Confession: we were actually very tempted to just go with our first impressions of the iPhone X here. Let’s not kid ourselves: the two devices are pretty much THAT identical in terms of looks. But then for those who have been living under a rock and decide to come out only to read the first impressions of the iPhone XS, here goes nothing. Just like the iPhone X (and we will try to resist the temptation to use that sentence opener), the front of the iPhone XS is almost all covered with the display, paired with the (in)famous notch....
