Reviews of Apple’s latest phone, the $1,000 iPhone X, hit the internet today (Oct. 30), ahead of the device becoming available in stores this Friday.

In years past—and as recently as last month, for the iPhone 8—Apple has handed out review units of its iPhones to a bunch of news outlets, such as The Verge, TechCrunch, and Forbes. But this time, it seems the company has only given an iPhone X to Steven Levy at Wired, who reviewed the first iPhone a decade ago, plus a smattering of YouTubers and outlets publishing directly to YouTube.
