Why choose the iPhone X, well other than its an Apple device so you are getting the top quality built device with the latest forever expanding user-friendly operating software (iOS) new customers were also entering the most sophisticated device on the market, now with facial recognition, the iPhone X is a perfectly sized device with edge to edge screen technology. 

 

The long-anticipated device was released on 3rd November 2017 and instantly took the market by storm as do the majority of Apple products especially in the mobile market. It was the first device to lose the well-known home button which was on all previous models of the iPhone even back to the original iPhone 2G released back on 9th January 2007. 

 

Even though the device was released as X there was some confusion as to whether or not it meant it was X meaning model 10 or just simply known as X, well Apple later confirmed that it was 10 for the 10th Anniversary of the iPhone.

The iPhone received a revised A11 chip that was previously in the iPhone 8 models however it was optimised and was up to 70% faster than the previous generation.

 

The iPhone X was very similar to the size of the previous model, it was larger than the iPhone 8 but smaller than the iPhone 8 plus. It was also the first device since the iPhone SE that utilised glass on both the front and rear, this will be due to the fact it was Apple's first device that you could charge via wireless charging. 

 

With the introduction of Facial recognition, which allowed owners to unlock their devices without the need to enter a passcode or by using finger scanner it meant that Apple could be creative and add a fun side to the new technology in the way of Animoji's, in short, it brought to life standard Emojis and allow you to use your face movements to create short customised animations. In addition to being able to unlock the device, facial recognition made it even easier to open apps that require passcodes such as banking apps / PayPal, as well as making payments with Apple pay, etc,  thus increasing the usability and functionality of the device. 

 

As with all iPhone releases the screen quality was improved and with the removal of the home button it meant that the screen would be an edge to edge horizontal and vertical which as well as utilising the full extent of the body of the phone it gave the phone an even sleeker look at finish. 

 

Many see the iPhone X the ultimate device and if the technology was available at the birth of the 2G iPhone it would set out to achieve all the technology levels and looks that a phone could wish for from the start. Apple will continue to expand on the iPhone X but for many years to come the shape style look and functions of the iPhone X will be here for some time as yet.
