Apple iPhone X Buyer's Guide
iPhone X Release Date: August 2018
Swappasaurus says...
Released in November 2017, the iPhone X was Apple’s 11th generation flagship phone. In addition to a spec bump to the A11 Bionic processor, the iPhone X was the first iPhone to ditch the physical home button in favor of gesture navigation. This made room for the nearly all-screen front face, dominated by a 5.8-inch Super Retina HD OLED screen at 2436x1125 resolution and 458ppi. The front also houses a TrueDepth camera, which enables secure Face ID authentication for unlocking your device and making mobile purchases. And being an iPhone, the 7MP front and dual 12MP rear cameras produce exceptional images, while offering new features such as Portrait Mode and Portrait Lighting.
