It was a crying secret. After introducing the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, Apple has introduced the iPhone X, the device we've been talking about for months, the device that commemorates the tenth anniversary of the smartphone that changed Apple, and its users. And it has been with a one more thing ...
As we expected, the most striking feature is its screen increment, eliminating both the upper and lower edges and, of course, the Touch ID at the bottom where the Touch ID sensor was located. The screen has dimensions of 5,8 inches with 458 pixels per inch, a great screen for a great device.
The iPhone X, an open secret finally revealed
The iPhone X screen is a Super Retina display with OLED technology, a screen with dimensions of 2436 x 1125 which has great advantages that we will analyze later. In addition, it is resistant to water and dust. On the other hand, the finishes of the iPhone X are silver and space gray. There are different additional technologies on the screen of this iPhone but the most important thing is the inclusion of OLED technology in the Apple smartphone.
The new iPhone X has technology Dolby Vision, HDR10, 1: 1 million contrast, True Tone and of course, Touch 3D like its predecessors. The finish of the back is similar to the iPhone 4 and the new iPhone 8: crystal.
The elimination of the Home button has made the new iPhone we can unlock it picking it up from the table, or simply by touching it, integrating seamlessly with iOS 11. Starting from the premise of the non-existence of the Home button, Apple has presented Face ID, the new iPhone X unlocking system.
For the correct operation of this technology, a large number of sensors and cameras is necessary, in addition to the A11 Neural Engine chip, able to work with neural networks and depth maps to work with faces even in the dark.
This security system is protected by the Secure Enclave system and can be used wearing accessories such as glasses, hats ... all based on the neural network that we have been told about in the keynote. Furthermore, it is not only necessary to lift and activate the iPhone to unlock the system, but you have to pay attention to the device, to avoid possible unintended unlocks. If the device is held in front of the face without the eyes looking at the screen, Face ID will not be invoked.
The safety of Face ID is much higher (1/1 million) than its predecessor Touch ID (1 / 50.o00) and can be used by third-party apps and Apple Pay.
Another novelty that we already knew were the emoji, that we can customize with our facial features and send them to the different applications such as iMessages, fully adapted to our facial movements. Around cameras, can be used by other applications as shown with Snapchat.
The 2 rear cameras of the iPhone X have improved: larger, new color filters, optical stabilization in the 2 cameras and improvements in low light conditions. In addition, the sensors of 12 megapixels are now faster.
All the news announced for the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus around portrait mode are available for the iPhone X: different portrait modes for incredible results, thanks to the chip A11 Bionic. The novelty is that the front camera of the iPhone X also has portrait mode.
The battery is another of the aspects that have been discussed: at least two hours longer than iPhone 7. A wave of applause has sounded in the Steve Jobs Theater, but the autonomy of this new device will have to be tested to empirically check if what Apple tells us is true.
Like the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, the iPhone X has wireless charging. It is based on the Qi standard, therefore, those chargers that are compatible with this technology will also be compatible with charging the new Apple iPhones. But in addition, Apple has presented a wireless charging base called AirPower.
Prices and availability of the iPhone X
There are two capacities: 64 GB y 256 GB priced from 999 dollars. And the iPhone SE ($ 349), 6S and 7. They can be booked from October 27 and will be sold from 3 of November.
That's a full-fledged review, because you don't put your CV in AI. They sure will hire you.
I would do better than some writers on this blog!
Let's see, it was what I expected, there really have been no surprises in Keynote. My opinion about the iPhone X is summed up in two words: nice and expensive.
I would like to have that model, but not at that price and less at the price at which it will go on sale here. So since this year I plan to renew my current iPhone 5s, I will surely opt for an iPhone 7 now that it has dropped in price or even a 6s.
For the price of an iPhone X you can buy two iPhone 7s, it is half cheap and you have a phone for years. It is true that it does not have facial unlocking, but the truth is that that seems like a pijama and I do not see it necessary. Yes, I would miss the new design, which is what I liked the most.
About the iPhone 8 I do not even consider it because it is € 200 more expensive than the 7 and the issue of wireless charging does not justify its overprice. The design is the same.
So nothing, to wait to know the price at which it goes on sale here (surely more than € 1000) and with a 95% chance that I will opt for the iPhone 7.
hahahahah apple I think it's a little crazy I have an iPhone 6 and I've been waiting for the release of the new iPhone for almost 3 years I thought that in terms of aesthetics it was going to change between 7 and 8 but I see that they left everything on the iPhone X that the truth It is very nice but I think its price is too expensive, I think I will go for the iPhone 8 plus if in case if not I will stay with the normal total is better than 7
An iPhone 8 with a 3-year-old design and an iPhone x with an exorbitant price 1159 euros the basic one in Spain ridiculous, after 10 years using the iPhone with this absurd maneuver I say goodbye to the iPhones I am not going to buy an iPhone with the design of 3 years with ridiculous improvements, much less an iPhone x of 1159 euros that the only thing that is interesting is to unlock with the face and screen more expands something that does not justify the price that has risen more than 300 euros in short GOODBYE APPLE
I do not see the unlocking of the Face Id very fast, not to say that it has failed 2 times in the presentation.
We will have to see reviews, but as everyone says …… .carrrriiiiisiiimooo !!
Still I bet an egg, that the waiting lists to buy it will reach Mars.
If the iPhone X had brought the AirPods or the wireless charging base as standard, it would have been another story and perhaps I would have thought about it, but it costs € 1159.
I think it's a wonderful phone, but they won't pay for the new Apple Park at my expense ...
I propose something, that the writers of this blog create a new site, Android News and let's all go there, definitely Apple has lost the compass, a 1000 USD phone for the only novelty of the design and facial unlocking, I do not see an advantage over the touch id that works simply by touching it !, what is the added value ??? Regarding the design, I do not dispute that it is beautiful but not better than a LG V30, S8 Plus, Note 8, Mi Mix 2, to mention a few and at a lower price, apart with a headphone jack for those of us who enjoy music with good quality audio, I don't understand Apple, it's ridiculous!
