In November of 2017, Apple released their 10th year anniversary phone, the iPhone X.
The iPhone X has been advertised as a phone that is so intelligent it can respond to a tap, a voice or a glance. Apple has created an IPhone for people who want a dramatically different phone experience and those who enjoy high-quality cameras. The new IPhone X is a luxurious and revolutionary device that is sure to impress many new buyers.
It has a large 5.8 inch screen, compared to the iPhone 8’s 4.7 inch screen. According to the Apple website, it is equipped to be water and dust resistant and more durable with the addition of stronger glass in front and back. This screen includes accurate stunning colors, true blacks and high brightness.
Unlike older generation iPhones, the new iPhone X has wireless charging, which differs from the multiple cords needed to plug into older phones. Apple states that AirPower mats, charging pads, are used by simply placing an Apple iPhone or Apple Watch on the pad. The battery efficiency in the new iPhone can last two hours longer than those in older generations.
The biggest accomplishment from the iPhone X is it´s Super Retinal display that allows facial recognition passwords, no thumbprints or passcodes needed. This provides better protection from devastating hackers. With this, Apple Pay and unlocking the phone is more efficient.
It may take some practice to get comfortable using your new IPhone X. The home button has been replaced by gestures, for example, swiping left and right on the screen to change screens. This feature is believed to help make social media easier for interacting with others.
It is believed that this phone was created, specifically, to intrigue adolescents and encourage them to spread the trend of the new iPhone. Apple partnered with Snapchat to create new depth-sensing cameras, which are better for selfies and other photos. Another new feature geared toward teens are the new 12 Animoji. These animal emojis can analyze more than 50 different muscles to mirror an expression in a photograph.
Apple improved the camera quality by adding color filters, an updated depth-sensing camera to create more professional and studio-quality photos and increased zoom and image stabilization, for clearer pictures when the light is low.
Apple has added new A11 Bionic chip is smarter and more powerful and provides augmented reality in more games and apps. The operating software, IOS 11, allows new music to be explored in Apple music, more accurate translations to be found in Siri and payments can be made over iMessage.
