iPhone X: Apple Showcases a Leap by Introducing its Edge-to-Edge OLED Display & Face ID

Marking the ten-year anniversary of iPhone launches, Apple unveiled its ground-breaking iPhone X at the prestigious Steve Jobs theatre in San Jose, California. The radical departure from previous iPhone models indicates a glimpse into the future, and the detailed specifications promise to amaze the audience.

Brimming with innovative features, the iPhone X boasts full-frontal screen coverage with an edge-to-edge OLED display and the novel Face ID technology. Introduced to commemorate the iPhone’s tenth anniversary, this model propels Apple into the next decade of smartphone design.

As for its market price, the 64GB version is available at approximately $899, while the 256GB version , to be released soon, is priced at $999.

Taking a stride from its traditional design, Apple presents the iPhone X with a vastly different aesthetic compared to the previous generations. It’s a refreshing change since we last saw the significant alteration in 2014 when the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus were introduced with bigger screens.


The iPhone X brandishes a super retina display technology that extends across its entire face, providing not only an OLED display but also a whopping resolution of 2436 x 1125 pixels. The retina display supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision HDR options. This is the first iPhone to eschew the iconic home button, signaling the end of the fingerprint era. The iPhone X innovates by replacing it with an advanced face scanner technology, Face ID, designed for unlocking the device more securely. Also worth noting is the availability of this model in space grey and silver colour options.


Casting aside the traditional fingerprint scanner, Apple takes a leap into the future by incorporating a face scanner, specially configured to recognize the owner’s face before unlocking the device. The company ensures that the Face ID is incredibly secure, stating the chance of someone else being able to unlock it is practically zero – one in a million. Furthermore, Apple has also kept the traditional passcode feature for users who may face difficulties using the Face ID scanner.

Additionally, the iPhone X is equipped with an impressive camera that features two 12MP image sensors with an f/1.8 wide-angle lens and an f/2.4 aperture lens. It also sports an optical image stability feature along with a quad-LED True Tone flash. Front-facing selfies are set to benefit from a 7MP camera that supports portrait mode, advanced image signal processing, and a wide colour capture for more vivid, well-lit images even in lower light.


As for the battery, iPhone X shares wireless charging compatibility with the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. However, the iPhone X’s battery life is stated to last two hours longer than the iPhone 7 and 8, promising users a more extended, durable experience of the device.

This ambitious leap from Apple signifies an exciting start to the future of smartphones, letting its products do the talking. The iPhone X indeed promises to offer an unprecedented smartphone experience.
