It Brings Emojis To Life
iPhone X is the first Apple smartphone to offer a new emoji feature known as an Animoji. It is an animated 3D version of a normal emoji. The technology with the iPhone X captures a user's facial expressions on the new TrueDepth camera. In turn, the technology replicates the facial expressions in the animated 3D emoji. This clever technology has already surged in popularity--thanks to television commercials, and users who are sharing their Animoji videos online.

It Has No Home Button
Longtime users of iPhones will notice a major change with this latest version — there is no home button. To access the home screen, users just need to swipe up. The control center can be found with a swipe down on the right corner. Accessing Siri can be achieved by pressing on the side button. Users can get notifications by swiping down from any spot on the screen. These new changes make the iPhone X more efficient.
The Phone Can Be Charged Without A Wire
The old days of charging a phone by connecting it to the wall are over. The iPhone X has capabilities to conduct wireless charging. Users can utilize a Qi-certified charger to get the job done. Once the Qi-certified charger is connected to the wall, the user simply needs to place the phone, facing up, on top of the display. This setup will start the charging process for the phone. Many cars and hotels already have this technology in them.
It Has An Outstanding Camera
Today, iPhones are known for their incredible camera capabilities. The iPhone X takes this a step further by offering Apple's new TrueDepth camera. The new technology beyond the camera can be used to record professional videos. The TrueDepth camera includes many new components, such as an infrared camera, a proximity sensor, a flood illuminator, an ambient light sensor, a speaker, a microphone, and a dot projector. All of these pieces combine for an outstanding experience.
Unlock Your Phone With Just Your Face
Users can unlock their iPhone X with just a glance. Known as Face ID, this technology maps the unique geometry of a user's face with over 30,000 invisible dots. In turn, the phone will analyze the data provided by the dots. That means that the iPhone X can easily remember a user's face. Face ID works in the dark, and the technology adapts to a user's facial changes. Users can also access ApplePay with just one glance. This can also be a security feature, which won't let other people randomly open or access your iPhone.
It Is Really Fast
The iPhone X offers really fast speed for users. It has four efficiency cores in the CPU that make it up to 70 percent faster than some previous versions of the iPhone. Part of the reason behind the faster speed on the iPhone is because of the A11 Bionic, which is the smartest chip in smartphone history. Apple says that it has a neural engine that is capable of up to 600 billion operations per second.
It Has Portrait Lighting
Lighting is an important aspect of a photograph, which is why the iPhone X offers some incredible lighting technology. Portrait lighting is a new feature in portrait mode that allows users to access studo-quality lighting effects. This will make most photographs look like they were crafted by a professional. After a user frames their subject on the iPhone, they can choose which lighting modes to use. After the photo is taken, the user can also change the portrait lighting effect.
It Is Very Durable
Most iPhones are easy to break, but the iPhone X has special features to protect against all types of accidents. It has the most durable glass that has ever been placed in a smartphone, and it is on both the front and back. With surgical-grade stainless steel, Apple has protected the iPhone X against all types of problems. The phone is also really resistant to water damage and dust. These changes provide users with the peace of mind to know that their phone is protected.
It Has a Longer Battery Life
For many years, iPhone users would often complain about the shortness of battery life. The iPhone X addresses this issue — and the solution is brilliant. Apple created the iPhone X to have a custom battery design and a second-generation performance controller. This results in the iPhone X having a battery life that lasts up to two hours longer between charges than the iPhone 7. The phone is also engineered to be fast while using less energy.
It Has A More Responsive Touch System
The new features and gestures on the iPhone X are vastly different than the previous iPhones. Obviously, the removal of the home button might confuse some long-term iPhone users, but it is actually very easy to grasp. The iPhone X offers a more responsive touch system than previous versions of the iPhone. Without the old button, gestures can be more fluid, intuitive, and natural. Users can easily master the different types of swipes to navigate the phone.
The Augmented Reality Features Are Incredible
Apple is making a big push into augmented reality on many of their products, including the new iPhone X. Thanks to the A11 Bionic chip, the iPhone X takes augmented reality to a whole new level. The phone's engine can perform up to 600 billion operations per second. This will improve the augmented reality experience on an iPhone X. There are many augmented reality apps and games for users to download. They could be downloaded on other phones, but the apps work the best on the iPhone X.
The Phone Is Worth The Cost
One aspect about the iPhone X that has gotten a lot of publicity has been the price tag. A 5.8-inch display sells at $999 and that is the lowest price. While this might be too expensive for some users, the price makes sense. The iPhone X offers incredible capabilities that no other phone currently on the market can match. It is worth the price tag. Also, some wireless providers, like Sprint, are offering a 50 percent discount for the iPhone X.
