Common questions
What did reviewers conclude?
Launch reviews praised the display and hinge, and noted the weight, the lack of a dedicated telephoto camera, Touch ID instead of Face ID, and third-party apps still catching up. Marques Brownlee advised most people to skip this generation.
Where do the findings come from?
Published reviews and tests, linked on each page, plus our own hands-on notes where labeled.
