Here’s everything you need to know about iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus (Specs, features and release Date).
Finally, all the speculations, rumours, anticipation around the upcoming iPhone models were laid to rest on Tuesday when Apple Inc. celebrated the 10th anniversary of its first ever iPhone model that was launched in 2007.
The tech giant went on to launch three new iPhones, namely iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus at the brand new Steve Jobs Theatre in its yet-to-be-opened Apple Park campus in Cupertino. Let’s have a look at each of them and see what does it has to offer to its users.
iPhone X specs and features:
The much anticipated iPhone X called as “the biggest leap forward since the original iPhone” by Apple’s CEO Tim Cook features a radical redesign and new technology. The iPhone X is an all-glass (front and back) and stainless steel device with a curved edge-to-edge screen display. The iPhone X is the first smartphone from Apple to feature a bezel-less design and comes with a 5.8-inch Super Retina HD Display (2436 X 1125 resolution, 458 ppi) in OLED. The screen has a million-to-one contrast ratio and wide colour support, and there’s also HDR that supports Dolby Vision and HDR10. The iPhone X comes with 3GB Ram and is powered by the superfast A11 Bionic chip with six-cores and the 64-bit design.
The iPhone X has wireless charging, an infrared camera and Face ID, which uses the TrueDepth camera system on the top of the display to unlock the device. FaceID can also be used for authentication, payments, accessing securing apps and be used with Apple Pay as well.
With no Home button, you need to tap the display to wake up the iPhone X. There is a simple ‘slide to home’ gesture that you can use in any app. To go to the Home screen, you need to slide up from the bottom of the screen and for multitasking viewing, you need to pause briefly while sliding up. Pressing and holding the side button will launch Siri. Apple has also added a fun feature to the iPhone X, where it uses your face to create animated emojis, called Animojis. For instance, if you make an angry face, your animated emoji will copy your facial expression. Similarly, you make a happy face, it will respond accordingly. You can also record a message with an emoji and send Animoji real-time.
Further, the iPhone X comes with a redesigned 12MP dual rear facing camera and dual optical image stabilization (OIS). The ƒ/1.8 aperture on the wide-angle camera comes along with an improved ƒ/2.4 aperture on the telephoto camera for better photos and videos. It also comes with the new 7MP TrueDepth front facing camera that enables Face ID features wide colour captures, auto image stabilization and precise exposure control, and brings Portrait mode to the front camera for stunning selfies with a depth-of-field effect. The new camera also delivers the highest quality video capture ever in a smartphone, with better video stabilization, 4K video up to 60fps and 1080p slo-mo up to 240fps.
The iPhone X will run iOS 11 and is expected to have two extra hours of battery life than the iPhone 7. The phone is also water and dust resistant with additional waterproofing expected for the front and back of the device.
The iPhone X will be available in Silver or Space Gray colours. It starts at a price of $999 / £999 for the 64GB model and a whopping $1,149 / £1,499 for the 256GB model.
