iPhone XS Unboxing & Hands-on! [Gold!]

Hey, how you doing guys

Dee here and today is the day the iPhone 10S, 10X and Apple Watch Series 4 are released to the public

So I went straight to my local Apple store to pick up some pre-orders, including the 10S and Apple Watch Series 4

I'm still waiting for the 10s max to be delivered to the house. I couldn't pick that up for some reason

So in this video I'm going to unbox the iPhone 10S, give you a quick hands-on look and have a look at some of the new features

So let's roll the intro and get started. And here it is

We've got an embossed image of the 10 S on the front �, and depending on which color you choose, there's a different wallpaper for each

I also made a video on these wallpapers as they hide the notch on the top, so I'll link

that in the description down below. On the sides of the box, we've got the metallic iPhone text, again to match the color

of the iPhone, so mine is gold. And on the back, you can see that I've gone for the 64-gibite model

Then there's a list of what's in the box, and we can see here that the lightning to headphone adapter is missing. Apple obviously assuming that we don't need

it anymore. And on the top and bottom there's just the Apple logo. So without

further ado, let's get unboxing. To no surprise, on top we've got the design by Apple and California folder

And there is the 10S In the folder though is the usual Quickstart guide With an emphasis on the lack of home button for anyone upgrading from anything other than

an iPhone 10. Then there's some ejection tool. Unfortunately that's not gold to match

That would have been a nice touch for a plus $1,000 phone

Warranty info and the much loved Apple stickers. Let's put all of this to one side and move the phone out of the way for a moment

The gold colour is a lot nicer than what we've seen recently, it's less pink, and it just

look surprisingly nice with the kind of off-white, pearless and glass. Although looking at the front, I still do think it would have been great for the rear glass

to have been black. Black and gold is just a classic combination

Also in the box is a standard wall adapter. Of course I have a British one

Then a pair of lightning ear pods. Is it just me or does anyone else miss the little cases that the iPods used to come in

And then finally a USB to lightening charge cable. No quick charge USB C cables as standard or extra yet

Right, let's put all of this back. It never goes back in easily. And take a look at the phone itself

As I mentioned, the gold stainless steel band is a lot nicer. It looks more like expensive jewelry

And I think we'll see a lot more guys rocking the gold iPhone than we have ever before. The colour of the rear glass is also growing on me, but I'm going to give it a few more days

The design of the 10S is virtually unchanged from last year's iPhone 10, apart from the new gold colour option

Let just bring in my 10 for comparison and take off the plastic on the 10 S It so satisfying

There's no bumps in display for the 10S. It's rocking the same display as the 10

So let's power it up. Setup is as easy as always and if you have an existing iPhone, you can use Quick Start to transfer all of your settings and apps and so on

Once that is done you are prompted to set up face ID which is as awkward to film as always

But face ID is supposedly even quicker on the new 10 S so I'll be interested to see if I notice a difference while reviewing

With face ID set up it's just a matter of waiting for everything to be synced

While I wait for the final step I want to try and give you a better look at this new gold colour which just looks fantastic

Just looks fantastic. Oh, as I mentioned, the 10 is almost identical design-wise, but what I nearly forgot to point out

is that the camera module on the 10S is slightly larger. If I grab my iPhone 10 case and put it onto the 10S, you can see that the bottom of the

camera doesn't quite fit, so you'll have to keep that in mind when looking for a case

It copied over the tent R wallpaper I was using on my tent but there are three new live wallpaper options exclusive to the 10s although of course there plenty of links online to the still version if you want it on any other phone With the iPhone all set up well it still downloading apps

The first thing I quickly want to do is to try out the improved portrait mode

So now with the 10s and 10s max you can adjust the aperture of your portrait photo to get that nice silky smooth boca even after you've taken the photo

At first glance it's super impressive the separation between between the subject, aka me and the background, looks a lot nicer and cleaner, and the way the background

blurs is really beautiful. Of course, I'll be putting that through its paces over the next few days

along with everything else the iPhone's S has to offer, so I can bring you a full review this coming Monday

Well, that's it for this video, but let me know in the comments section down below
