iphone8, iphone 8+ and the newest iphoneX. (reminds me of Agent-X)
At its September 2017 keynote event on Tuesday, Apple revealed the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus and, separately, the much-anticipated iPhone X (ten).
The prices are $699 for the 8, $799 for the Plus, and $999 for the X. The 8 and 8 Plus ship on Sept. 22, and the X ships on Nov. 3.
What’s new with iPhone X?
Arguably the most exciting new feature of all three new phones is the “wireless charging” now available when the phone sits on a charging pad, called AirPower. (The pad must be plugged into an outlet, but the phone charges wirelessly.)
The iPhone X has edge-to-edge display a la Samsung Galaxy and Galaxy Note; an OLED screen (more vibrant colors than LCD); full HD video support; and a feature called “Animoji” that lets you record a message and choose an emoji to speak your message.
The iPhone X has no tactile home button. You unlock the phone simply by looking at it and swiping up. Apple calls the feature FaceID.
Apple CEO Tim Cook called iPhone X (called “ten” not because it’s the tenth iPhone but to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the iPhone), “the biggest leap forward since the original iPhone.”
iPhone 8:
The 8 has edge-to-edge glass on front and back; comes in three colors: silver, “space gray,” and gold; and the encasement is “microscopically sealed for water resistance.”
The phone also has a new chip inside, called the A11 Bionic, that is 25% faster than the previous A10 chip.
And iPhone 8 has a far better camera: it boasts the “highest-quality video capture ever in a smartphone,” Apple VP Phil Schiller said on stage; and, as many expected, it has augmented-reality capability using Apple’s ARKit. Apple used a game demonstration to show off the AR possibilities in mobile gaming.
The 8 and 8 Plus do not have FaceID.
