apple has announced the best iPhone it’s ever made, delivering a killer combination of advanced features that put it back at the forefront of the smartphone space. The new iPhone X (pronounced “ten”) is also the most expensive iPhone it has ever made.
With prices ranging from $999 for the 64GB version to $1,149 for the 256GB, iPhone X had better deliver – it does on paper. For a start, it comes with a 5.8-inch Super Retina HD display that almost fills the whole of the front of the device, save for a cutout at the top which contains the new TrueDepth camera among other innnovations (more on these in a moment). The almost bezel-less display has a resolution of 2548x1125 pixels at 458 ppi. It also marks a shift away from the LCD technology used in previous iPhones (and the iPhone 8/8 Plus) toward OLED, delivering life-like colors and deep, dark blacks with a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1.
There’s something else, too – because the display virtually takes up the whole of the front, Apple has ditched both the Home button and Touch ID in favor of Face ID. Now you can simply look at your iPhone to unlock it, while a swipe up from the bottom of the device takes you to the Home screen.
Powering iPhone X is a custom-designed A11 Bionic chip. Not only does it contain four efficiency cores and two performance cores that are 70 percent faster and 25 percent faster, respectively, than the ones used in the iPhone 7’s A10, it also contains a neural engine, which uses machine learning to adapt to the changes to your facial features over time – so if you’re wearing sunglasses when you go to unlock your iPhone using Face ID, it will still recognize you.
it was evident very quickly during our hands-on with iPhone X at Apple’s September event that it’s one of the most exciting smartphones to be launched in the 10 years that have passed since the original iPhone. It takes existing industry trends – edge-to-edge displays, facial recognition, and wireless charging – and combines them in a breathtakingly accomplished way. And it’s the killer combination of those features with iOS 11 and Apple’s usual design nous that puts iPhone X head and shoulders above its arch-rivals, ready to inspire both new and existing Apple customers to choose iPhone when it’s time for them to upgrade.
