    New iPhone 10 Max

    So I received a early Xmas present from my SO. A new 10max. So I'm moving from a 5 to a 10. In a nutshell, how will I benefit more from the 10 than my old 5?

    Since I’m an old guy I love the screen size, the bigger the better. Coming from an iPhone 3s,4s,6
    +, and 7+, I didn’t think I would ever like Not having a home button. But after about a month of use I began to prefer the swiping, it just makes transitions smoother and faster.

    The speakers are definitely superior to the 5, the camera too.

    Sending voice messages through the text app with the emojis is pretty cool.

    Face recognition is great for unlocking the phone and bypassing passwords. While I have only had my phone for almost 2 months, I have not had any issues. I am amazed at the speed it works and even with almost zero light at night.

    I love being able to do wireless charging with an Otterbox on the phone. I don’t know if the models of 6+ and previous can do that.

    It it should be faster than a 5 with the better processor, but that had never been an issue, so I don’t notice it. Mayyyybe the internet is faster when not on WiFi.

    As as far as cool savvy tech applications, being a typical old guy those are beyond me until someone can show me how to use them.

    Thats is all that comes to mind at the moment.
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    Thanks for the overview. I too am old and appreciate the larger size. It feels like I'm carrying a theater screen around compared to the 5. Never missed the home button as swiping felt natural from the get go. Have to figure out the voice text thing, sounds neat. And just where did Siri go? Have no clue how to find her. The photos are waaaay better and have some neat options for sure. The face recognition is neat but it is way too fast to go to the passcode input if you don't get you mug in front of it quickly. Is there a way to slow that down?

    Siri is still there, you must say “Hey Siri”, not “Siri”.

    I have no idea about slowing down the passcode input. Maybe there is something in settings under passcode?

    I agree that this is huge compared to the 5. I love the size of the 5, but my eyes don’t.

    To me, the Max is no adjustment size wise since I had the 7 plus and 6 plus before this.

    Turns out I had not set up Siri. Now I have. Thanks

    Alright, glad you got it worked out.
