To commemorate the tenth year anniversary of the iPhone, Apple took a ‘break from the norm’ with the launch of the iPhone X (pronounced: – iPhone Ten). The device follows the current ‘edge-to-edge’ display trend currently found on high-end devices such as the LG V30 and Samsung Galaxy Note 8.
Featuring an all-glass design with 7000-series aluminum body frame, the Apple iPhone X features a 5.8-inch (2436 x 1125) OLED Super Retina display with support for HDR10 and Dolby Vision. It is the first iPhone from Apple to use an OLED panel and currently the one with the highest pixel density (458ppi).
Similar to the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, the iPhone X comes equipped with an A11 Bionic Chip with Neural Engine, support for both fast and Qi wireless charging, and boots iOS 11. Face ID, the facial recognition feature, enabled by the TrueDepth Camera System, delivers an innovative and secure new way for customers to unlock, authenticate and pay on the iPhone.
