Once again we have seen how the keynote in which Apple has presented the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X, Apple TV 4k and Apple Watch Series 3 has not surprised anyone, since we knew all the data related to these devices, including images, especially the highly anticipated iPhone X, the terminal with which Apple celebrates the tenth anniversary of the launch of the first iPhone.
However, the iPhone X has been the one that has captured the most time and attention, due to the screen, which occupies practically the entire front of the device and which will also completely empty the pocket where we plan to store it. Below we show you all the iPhone X specs, pricing, and availability.
IPhone X Specifications
iPhone X screen
With the arrival of the iPhone X, Apple releases the nomenclature Super Retina Display, a 5,8-inch screen with OLED technology, the first of its kind to come to the iPhone. The screen occupies practically the entire front of the device and offers us a spectacular brightness and contrast of 1.000.000: 1.
At the top of the device we find a notch where the cameras required to unlock the device through our face. The problem with this notch is that when it comes to enjoying games or videos, the result leaves a little to be desired when a part of the screen is cut off.
Until now by moving the device we could turn on the screen, thanks to the option available in the latest iPhone models. This model allows us turn it on simply by touching it to wake you up and show us if you have any notifications.
Face ID
One of the fears that users had was that when the physical home button disappeared, so did the Touch ID. Finally this news has been confirmed and the Face ID will take care of its function. From now on our face will be the only way to unlock our device, identify ourselves and pay safely. This technology analyzes more than 30.000 points on our face to create a detailed map of our face.
It doesn't matter if we wear glasses, a hat, a scarf, a high-necked coat, we put on a wig, if we cut our hair, Face ID will know at all times that we are still the same person. When using depth detectors, the operation of Face ID will not respond if we show a photograph of our face.
Being the new method to protect our information, it is also the method used to authenticate that we are the legitimate owners of the device at the time of make payments with Apple Pay.
IPhone X front camera
The front camera of the iPhone X, has been renamed TrueDepth, thanks to the sensors capable of detecting depth and that also allow us to use the portrait mode of the 7 and 8 Plus. When it comes to taking our selfies, we can change the type of lighting through effects that the camera offers us to improve the final result in a spectacular way.
IPhone X rear cameras
The back of the iPhone X offers us two 12 mpx cameras, both with optical stabilizer and that allow us, like last year's Plus model, to take fantastic shots with portrait mode. Both cameras are new and include a new color filter that will improve, even more if possible, the method with which we take our captures.
These new cameras significantly improve the noise level of photographs, especially when there is not much light. The combination of the wide angle and telephoto lens of the iPhone X It offers us an optical and a digital zoom of up to x10 in photos and x6 in videos.
IPhone X processor
The new iPhone X debuts new processor the A11 Bionic, a more powerful processor than that of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus brothers, which are managed by the A11. This 6-core processor is capable of up to 600.000 million operations per second thanks to its neural engine.
Of the six cores, four of them offers us an efficiency 70% higher than the A10 Fusion processor, and the other two, are 25% faster. Thanks to the neural engine that integrates the iPhone X, Face ID technology is capable of adapting to our appearance as time passes, as I have commented in the camera section.
Wireless charging
As we have seen in the presentation, finally Apple has implemented induction charging technology in the iPhone X, induction charging that is also available on the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. The Qi standard allows us to wirelessly charge our iPhone X in any such charging base in hotels, airports, coffee shops ... It is confirmed that, since Apple is late in this regard, it has not wanted to limit the operation of this system charge to your MFI certified products.
Apple has also introduced the AirPower, an induction charging station, which allows us to jointly charge our iPhone X, 8 and 8 Plus along with the AirPods and the Apple Watch. This charging base won't hit the market until next year.
IPhone X availability
Apple has not specified whether from November 3, date on which the physical availability of this terminal will begin, But as of October 27, we can begin to make the reservation.
IPhone X colors
Although rumors suggested that Apple could offer this new model in three different colors, the company at the moment will only put two on sale: Space Gray and Silver, leaving aside the gold and pink. It is likely that within a few months, the range of colors will be expanded with a new model in copper, the third color in which the iPhone X should be available, but which apparently due to production problems is not available at the moment.
IPhone X Price
For a few months, most rumors claimed that the price of the iPhone X would be very close to $ 1000 (without taxes). Analysts confirmed this possibility, possibility that has become reality when the guys from Cupertino have announced the prices of this model, which is only available in two capacities: 64 and 256 GB.
- Price of the iPhone X 64 GB: 1.159 euros.
- Price of the iPhone X 256 GB: 1.329 euros.
If these prices are out of the pocket of many users, perhaps operators may be a good option when it comes to getting the iPhone X, as long as they can offer us the terminal in comfortable terms and that in the end we save some money.
According to the Apple Spain website, the reservation in our country will be on October 27 and deliveries on November 3.
In the apple store in Mexico there is already a cost of the X, the 64 GB one costs $ 23,499.00 and the 256 GB one is at $ 26,999.00 and the presale is October 27, so it will be available from November 3.
According to the web, the iPhone 8 and the X both have A11 Bionic Chip with 64-bit architecture.
They will give us more details, but if iPhone 8 has the same chip and ram as the X, and has to render fewer pixels, we are facing a very powerful device for less price. Many times the screen and the camera are not everything.
I honestly have doubts as to which one I am interested in fucking in a few months. By closing it would be good for you to comment on the price drop of the 7, which costs less than what a 6s cost a few hours ago.
All the best
According to the Apple website, the 3 new models (iPhone X, 8 Plus and 8) will have the same processor (A11 Bionic)
I love it, but to see a movie, don't you think it will be "weird" with the space of the cameras and front sensors?
I have to see how the X camera works before buying, I expected better things, I see insufficient focal aperture, a few days ago I removed my iPhone 7 plus to sell it before the price drops and I am with an S8 + and the more I use it I'm liking it more, the photos are much clearer, no longer the color that I use a filter that has to remove a bit of saturation, it captures more light, from the iPhone 8 I prefer not to mention great disappointment, again more of the same a Design that I crave from another era, I like how it is, the materials, I would only change the screen size, but another year with the same mobile, no thanks.
