Chesstown King's Reviews and Thoughts

 I have only had this phone for over a week but I feel the need to review it. I recently got a 512gb light gold iPhone Air. This phone is so thin. You really have to hold it for yourself to believe it. I knew when I used it at a local Best Buy I had to have it. The phone is also a modern marvel having most of the technology in the camera bump. Of course you're wondering about that camera and battery life.  Honestly the battery is decent. It gets me through the day at work with minimal charging ( I mean who goes somewhere with no charger anymore?). The camera is good too. I'm not a huge camera guy anyways. The phone's 6.5 inch Super Retina XDR OLED display is great. I really notice a difference from my old phone (iPhone 12). The phone doesn't really get that hot either which is great. One thing I'm not a huge fan of is the one speaker on the phone....but honestly it's not that bad. I usually use headphones anyways. Apple Intelligence is still in beta but I think ...

 Ok so I want to review this phone before I eventually get a new one. This is my 2nd iPhone I've ever had. I know...shocking right? What I didn't remember is this is the first iPhone lineup to not include headphones or a charger in the box. I have the product Red version of this phone. Red is my favorite color so it was a match made in heaven lol. I love the flat edges of the phone. Also I gotta talk about what was a big change....the no home button and reliance on Face ID. For the most part Face ID works great. Its fast and snappy. Of course during the pandemic Apple had to adjust it to read with a face mask on.The whole new gesture system didn't really take me too long to get used to.  I feel the screen is really good on it...even in 2025. Of course it was slimmer than my iPhone 8 Plus's screen but hey who's complaining. Im trying to be fair here....yeah ive had this phone since April 2021....and the battery is really starting to be poor.....When it was new though...

It was the day of destiny for me when I got my first IPhone a little over a week ago. The phone is big, with a 5.5 inch screen. It’s made for media consumption and to be honest that’s the main reason I bought it. I love Itunes and Apple products. I already have an IPad Air , Ipod touch, and Ipod Classic.                 I like so much about this phone, so I’m going to tell you what I don’t like. Its basic but you have to manually switch between turning mobile data on and off. Android phones do that automatically lol. It’s a small gripe but its something that I don’t like about IPhones.                 Now for the numerous features I do like: Touch ID is blazing fast. Makes my Samsung Galaxy S6’s’ touch sensor look like a snail. The camera is beast. I have barely used it yet tho. The raise to wake feature is really rea...

Droid X2 (2011) Ah man the Droid X2 was my first real smart phone. It was amazing to me. It could do so many things that we unfortunately, take for granted today. Being able to surf the web, add a huge variety of   mobile games, and a fast processor. The Droid X2 did a lot of things right, but it didn’t even have a front facing camera. It also had only 8gb. That wasn’t even much space at the time even in 2011. I ran out of space so quick! Score: 7.5/10 Samsung Galaxy S4 (2013) So after the droid I wasn’t sure which phone I wanted until I saw Jay Z promote the SGS4. This phone was beast. I knew I wanted it. I just went out and bought it. It was improvement over my Droid X2 in every way. Bigger screen, more memory, and a great camera. I remember taking a lot of pics. I think mine had 16gb of memory. I really enjoyed this phone but a little over 2 years later I wanted something new. Score: 8.5/10 Samsung Galaxy S6 (2015) This is where things get inter...
