means the iPhone X features a huge 5.8-inch display in a phone that’s smaller to hold. In fact, the iPhone 8 Plus, which includes a smaller 5.5inch screen, is over 10mm bigger than iPhone X.
If you’re looking for the home button on the iPhone X you won’t find it.
Due to the giant display, the Touch ID fingerprint scanner has now been replaced by facial recognition which will unlock the phone simply by glancing at it.
Called Face ID, Apple says it will revolutionise authentication on iPhone X. Face ID uses TrueDepth camera system which is made up of a dot projector, infrared camera and illuminator to map a face.
These depth-sensing technologies work together to securely unlock the iPhone, enable Apple Pay, gain access to secure apps and many more new features.
Face ID only unlocks iPhone X when customers look at it and is designed to prevent spoofing.
Along with Face ID, the clever camera on the front of the iPhone X allows users to access a fun new feature.
The TrueDepth camera can now bring emojis to life in something Apple is calling Animojis.
The iPhone X’s camera captures and analyses over 50 different facial muscle movements, then animates those expressions in a dozen different Animoji.
The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus have both been given upgraded retina displays with True Tone technology that changes the colour of the screen depending on light around you.
These updates are certainly welcomed but neither of these devices include OLED technology. That upgrade is only available in the iPhone X with it including a 5.8-inch Super Retina display with OLED panel.
Apple says the iPhone X has a display with stunning colours, true blacks, a million-to-one contrast ratio and wide colour support.
There’s plenty to like about the iPhone X. But it does come at a price with the iPhone X the first smartphone from Apple to hit £999. If you want the 256GB it’s the first time an iPhone has cost over £1,000 at £1,149. I enclose a cheque for £ Express Newspapers Offer DS175.
