Apple iPhone X(Ten): Updated Features, Availability, Prices in India
Apple has unveiled three new iPhones iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus at an event which started in Cupertino. Apple iPhone X(Ten) has been launched in its Special Event for September in Steve Jobs Theater at the Apple Campus. This is the first event at this location, and for the first time, the world officially gets to see the new Apple Park’s sprawling campus of the tech giant. Apple has previously launched the Apple Watch Series 3 with possible LTE support and Apple tv4K as well.
The late Apple’s co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs had first revealed the Apple device in January 2007, and now the iPhone X will mark the tenth anniversary special of the device. The iPhone X is the Apple’s most expensive handset to date, and the price tag may cross $1000, though we’ll have to set and see if that does turn out to be true.
iPhone X(Ten) Prices
Apple is marketing it for the same prices in Dollars ($) as in Pounds (£), the device will cost £999 for the 64GB model while £1149 for the 256GB model. It will be available and shipping stats from November 3, a month and a half later than expected.
The iPhone X will be available in 64GB and 256GB where the 64GB will cost £999 (Price in India Rs 89,000) while the 256GB storage version will costs £1149 (Price in India Rs 1,02,000). The iPhone X also comes with a front and back glass design, finishing with Space Gray and Silver and mainly with a super Retina display from Apple.
iPhone X(Ten) Features
The iPhone X will be the first Apple smartphone to feature facial recognition technology that allows the users to unlock the device with their face. It also has Animoji feature that is a facial-scanning software to animate emojis and send them as messages.
The iPhone X replaces the fingerprint-scanning Touch ID, built into the home button, which has faded from the iPhone X to make way for the larger screen.
The iPhone X is a 5.8-inch display and offers 458ppi of pixel density. OLED technology is used for the display in the iPhone X. Also, it gets 3D Touch as well as tap on screen viewing function for the iPhone X. Swipe up from the bottom is a simple posture that replaces the home button function on the iPhone X.
Portrait Lighting defines you the light in a scene. Augmented reality and A11 Bionic which is the most powerful and smartest chip ever in a smartphone.
The new AirPower charging mat system will charge the iPhone X, iPhone 8, Apple Watch Series 3 and the new “optional” wireless charging box for AirPods. This will be done completely at the same time. And there’s a nifty new interface to know you what’s charging on the iPhone.
iPhone X ‘will sell in enormous volumes despite the price tag.’
The iPhone X starts with £999, also can rise to £1,149 for the highest specification version. The device goes on sale from November 3. Technology expert Ian Fogg, from IHS Markit, said the price jump had been exceeded for what the iPhone X offers regarding an upgrade.
“Apple is hoping the later availability date for iPhone X will not affect iPhone 8 sales this quarter,”
“Apple’s lower iPhone 8 pricing should limit the impact, but it remains a risk.”
The iPhone X is pronounced as ‘iPhone Ten’ to avoid confusions and is being boldly named as the template for mobile phones for the next decade.
