Apple finally unveiled the much awaited iPhone X at the event today at the Steve Jobs Center. The $999 smartphone is all screen without even the home button.
It has a 5.8-inch Super Retina display, A11 Bionic chip, wireless charging and an improved dual 12-MP rear camera with dual optical image stabilization. The ƒ/1.8 aperture on the wide-angle camera joins an improved ƒ/2.4 aperture on the telephoto camera for better photos and videos.
Another new feature about the new iPhone X is the Face ID. You can now use your face to unlock the phone and even authenticate and pay using Face ID.
“For more than a decade, our intention has been to create an iPhone that is all display. The iPhone X is the realization of that vision,” said Jony Ive, Apple’s chief design officer. “With the introduction of iPhone ten years ago, we revolutionized the mobile phone with Multi-Touch. iPhone X marks a new era for iPhone — one in which the device disappears into the experience.”

“iPhone X is the future of the smartphone. It is packed with incredible new technologies, like the innovative TrueDepth camera system, beautiful Super Retina display and super fast A11 Bionic chip with neural engine,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “iPhone X enables fluid new user experiences — from unlocking your iPhone with Face ID, to playing immersive AR games, to sharing Animoji in Messages — it is the beginning of the next ten years for iPhone.”
The glass back design enables a world-class wireless charging solution.
Apple also introduced the new Apple-designed AirPower mat, coming in 2018, which can charge iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods simultaneously. The AirPower mat uses a new kind of charging standard that supports multi-device charging.
iPhone X will be available for pre-order beginning Friday, October 27 in more than 55 countries and territories, and in stores beginning Friday, November 3.
