January 9, 2007 went down in history as the day when Apple outlined the future of smartphones during an unforgettable, 100-minute-long keynote. Steve Jobs himself introduced a hand-held device revolutionary at the time – one that let you effortlessly access the web, that contained the rich multimedia capabilities of an iPod, one that was also a really, really good cellular phone. iPhone, it was simply called.
Today we witnessed the unveiling of a device marking the 10th anniversary of Apple's hugely influential mobile phone. Introducing the Apple iPhone X.
Whether we like it or not, leaks spoiled the fun by showing us what the iPhone X (pronounced "iPhone ten") would look like weeks ahead of its official announcement. But nonetheless, it is a product worthy of excitement. The standout design feature of the iPhone X is its display filling most of its front side. It is an AMOLED display, as predicted: a so-called Super Retina Display combining all the benefits of OLED technology, such as the great contrast and deep blacks, with the color accuracy Apple's screens are known for. If you're curious to know the technical details, resolution stands at 2436 x 1125 pixels, while the panel itself measures 5.8 inches in diagonal.
As for the body of the iPhone X, it is made of 7000-series aluminum with a reinforced glass at the back. Using glass instead of metal is one of the keys to enabling Qi wireless charging on the device.
Since the screen occupies all of the iPhone X's front, there's no traditional home screen button. There's no more Touch ID for unlocking either. Instead, the phone uses a new technology called Face ID, which works as the name implies. The iPhone X uses an advanced array of sensors and software to recognize its owner's face, and fooling it with a mere photo would be really, really tricky. There's a 1 in a 1,000,000 chance that a random person would be able to unlock your iPhone X through Face ID.
The omission of a home button brings forth a new way of unlocking the iPhone X -- tapping on the screen now wakes the device. But as before, you can also just bring up the phone to unlock it.
Apple is introducing a new feature called Animoji with the iPhone X. Think of these as animated emoji, but here's where things get interesting. Using the advanced array of face-scanning sensors at the front, the iPhone X can animate the cartoon character to match your facial expressions and speech. These fun-looking Animoji will be available in iMessage and will let you interact with your buddies in a cool new way.
