Announced at the Steve Jobs Theater, the launch of the new iPhone X (pronounced "ten") marks the 10th anniversary of the very first iPhone in 2007. Even though some new features were leaked before the unveiling of the iPhone X, Apple blew everyone away with it’s personal features and exceptional functions. These cool top five features are worth all the hype!
Facial Recognition
The iPhone X did away with the home button, but is the first to offer Face ID. This facial recognition system maps the unique geometry of your face and is used to lock your phone, control purchases in the app store, and enable Apple Pay. It will adapt to physical changes if you wear glasses, a hat or grow a beard! It even works in the dark.
5.8-inch edge-to-edge OLED screen
The OLED display boosts a resolution of 2,436 X 1,125 pixels, or 458 pixels per inch. The phone features a notch along the top allowing room for:
- Infrared camera
- Flood illuminator
- Proximity sensor
- Ambient light sensor
- Speaker
- Microphone
- 7MP front camera
- Dot projector
Faster "A11 Bionic" processor chip
Lightning fast speeds with an A11 Bionic chip, M11 motion coprocessor. This allows for a smoother performance in two size options 64GB and 256GB.
Wireless charging
The iPhone X along with the 8 and 8 Plus are the first iPhones to support wireless charging. No more hassles with cords as Apple plans to make charging stations widely accessible in cafes, hotels and airports worldwide.
Animoji!
Tied to facial recognition, the new Animoji feature allows you to create your own emotions based off of your facial expressions and send them as clips of various emojis. This feature will be available on third party apps such as snapchat and will provide countless hours of fun!
Since this is one of the first phones to come with a glass back, there’s no rose gold, or red, or jet black color options to choose from. Just space grey or silver. Choosing a colorful case will definitely be the fun part since the color selection is so limited. You want just enough protection in a case without being too bulky. Our Apple iPhone X leather cases offer a tough enough craftsmanship to protect your phone, yet soft enough finish for your fingertips.
If you’re lucky enough to get your hands on this deluxe product before being sold out, you will definitely need a case to protect your mini fortune in (with a pricetag of $999)! It’ll be ready to pre-order 10/27 and available 11/3.
