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.

The iPhone X was a notable release because this was the first iPhone to use Face ID. The switch from Touch ID to face recognition meant shifting from using a home button to gesture-based navigation. This change also allowed Apple to include a larger display with slim bezels. The iPhone X features a 5.8” Super Retina HD display with HDR, 4G LTE cellular connectivity, and options for 64GB or 256GB of internal storage space, all of which are powered by Apple’s A11 Bionic chip.
