Well, this is not new to I phone users with regards to their pricing. There was also a joke by a colleague that with the release of the new phone, this might lead to drop in pricing of previous phones and thus he might finally afford I phone 5s. Well, what are the features of the new I phone X
The following are the new phone`s features as reported by The Mirror;
All-glass design
Instead of the aluminium casing used in last year's iPhone 7, the new iPhone X has an all-glass enclosure. This is not unique to I Phone X as this has been used before for the previous versions of the I phones. Apple claims that the glass used in the iPhone X is the most durable glass to ever appear in a smartphone.
OLED display
The handset has a cutting-edge Super Retina OLED screen, measuring 5.8 inches diagonally across.
OLED displays are superior to the LCD panels currently used in Apple's iPhones because, rather than requiring a backlight, an OLED-based screen lights up individual pixels when necessary. This translates to blacker blacks and brighter whites, lower power consumption and faster response times compared to LED displays.
No Home button
As expected, the home button has been completely replaced. The large touch screen, combined with the new iOS 11 software, enables users to simply swipe up from the foot of the screen at any time to return to the Home screen.
True Depth camera
Easily the handset's biggest draw is the True Depth camera which enables users to unlock their phone using a facial recognition system called Face ID. Using depth-sensing technologies, the system can map and recognise the user's face, even in the dark.This technology also enables the user to send animated emojis called 'Animojis' based on their facial expressions.
The iPhone X sports the A11 Bionic chip, which has six cores and is the most powerful chip yet in a smartphone, according to Apple. It will run the next version of Apple's mobile operating system, iOS 11 , which features an overhauled version of its Siri voice assistant, a new "Do Not Disturb While Driving" feature, and a revamped App Store
Wireless charging
The all-glass design of the iPhone X enables wireless charging and charging devices from Belkin and Mophie will be available. Apple also gave a sneak preview of its AirPower charging pad, which can charge an iPhone, Watch and AirPods simultaneously.
