Apple iPhone X, iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are official – Specs, Features

At the new place, The Steve Jobs Theater, the Cupertino giant Apple Inc. has finally made the new iPhones official. It isn’t the regular launch here because Apple’s iPhone celebrates its 10th anniversary and there was a lot expected from the company to celebrate this. The new auditorium is located in the new Apple campus.

So here they are, the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and the iPhone X.

Apple iPhone X

The iPhone X is the show-stopper, of course!

iPhone X

Coming with the Super Retina display, the iPhone X (pronounced as iPhone Ten) comes with 2436 x 1135 pixels with 458 PPI pixel density, the highest for any iPhone. It is a 5.8-inch display if the size is concerned. As was leaked, there is no Touch ID and the iPhone X has Face ID to recognize the face and then unlock the screen. There is a set of sensors that work together to read the face in any condition and then make the IR image to match it with the one stored while the setup of Face ID was done. The camera system is called TrueDepth camera system.

Face ID works even with Apple Pay.

With the iPhone X, comes the Animoji. These are animated emojis that replicate the expression on your face.

The iPhone X has dual-lens camera with 12MP cameras, one having F/1.8 aperture and the other having F/2.4 aperture and both the cameras have OIS support, Quad-LED true-tone flash is also included, and there are new filters and deeper pixels.

It is the Bionic A11 processor that will power the iPhone X and there is wireless charging support. Apple claims that the iPhone X will last two hours more than the iPhone 7, which rather seems disappointing. The iPhone X is water and dust resistant, it has stereo speakers, and there is fast charge support for the battery.
