IPhone X: Release date, specs, price and all you need to know please read this

The iPhone X is “the future of the smartphone”, according to Apple’s CEO Tim Cook. He announced the swanky new phone after the far more modest unveiling of the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus – and it stole the show. This is the upgrade we’ve been waiting for, even if it costs a small fortune.

The iPhone X (or iPhone 10 as it’s pronounced) is the first drastic new design we’ve seen on an iPhone since the iPhone 6, a phone released back in 2015. And it comes with a host of new features and flourishes we’ve never seen before from Apple. We have seen them from other smartphone manufacturers, though.

It’s a big claim that the X is the future on the smartphone, I’m sure Samsung will have something to say about that, but I firmly believe it will shape the future iPhones for the next few years, at least.

What makes the iPhone X stand so far apart from every other phone on Apple’s roster? There are half a dozen headline features. A 5.8-inch almost edge-to-edge screen, OLED technology used for the first time, HDR compatibility, OIS on both rear lenses, facial recognition, and an eye-watering £999 price tag. But it’s another omission, following the headphone jack going bye-bye last year, that will make the biggest difference to using the iPhone X. 

The Home button is no more.

The most iconic feature of every iPhone since the first has disappeared, and don’t expect to see it back in future iPhones. RIP little buddy. It’s made way for that giant screen, and I think it’s a loss that will take a lot longer for die-hard iPhone users to get used to than the missing 3.5mm jack.

Before I go into any more detail about the stunning new iPhone X, let’s have a look at some of its specs and features (a more detailed list of iPhone X specs comparison can be found at the end of this piece).
