iPhone X Revealed! Release Date, Specs And Price

Finally, the long awaited iPhone X, Apple’s 10th-anniversary device, has been revealed.

The new iPhone X (pronounced iPhone 10) is Apple’s first smartphone to feature a full-screen display and wireless charging, while it is also homeless – meaning it doesn’t have the usual Home Button under the display.

It’s basically Apple’s answer to Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8, in terms of design.

iPhone X will also have an all-new ‘Super Retina’ resolution, a reinforced glass design and face ID instead of the standard fingerprint unlock system.
