[NABS-L] [nABS-L] IPhone 8 or iPhone 10

[Santiago]

Hi,
Originally, I was going to upgrade to the iPhone 8, but I ended up going with the iPhone X. The larger screen is great if you use braille screen input, and the battery life is also great. I've been able to get around a day and a half, to two days of use out of my iPhone, due to the fact I have screen curtain on, and because of the display technology on the iPhone itself. FaceID works seamlessly on the iPhone, and I have not had any issues with it myself. The phone will guide you while you set it up for the first time. The speakers on the iPhone X are also louder, which will be useful when you're in a loud area. Hope that helps with your decision making.

There is an identation at the bottom of the screen that, when you press it, feels almost exactly like the real home button. It doesn't changa how you use the phone at all. In addition to facial recognition, the iPhone 10 also has a longer battery life. For me, these perks, cool though they are, didn't justify the high price tag. As Matthew said, it reaaly depends on what's right for you, conow much these small differences mean, and how much money you are willing to spend.

I was told that the only differences are that the iPhone 10 has a bigger display, which wouldn't matter, and the iPhone 10 doesn't have a home button on it. How do you work around this, as well as the face recognition?
