iPhone X (X pronounced "ten" /tn/)[2] is a smartphone designed, developed, and marketed by

Apple Inc. Apple CEO Tim Cook announced the iPhone X on September 12, 2017, alongside the
iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus at the Steve Jobs Theater in the Apple Park campus. The phone is slated
for release on November 3, 2017. This iPhone marks the iPhone's tenth anniversary, with "X" being
the symbol for "ten" in Roman numerals.
Within Apple's lineup, the iPhone X is positioned as a high-end, premium model intended to
showcase advanced technologies, such as wireless charging, OLED display, dual cameras with
improved depth sensing, and a face recognition unlock system called Face ID.[3][4]

History

The technology behind the iPhone X was in development for five years, as far back as 2012.[5]
Before the official announcement on September 12, 2017, a HomePod firmware leak suggested that
Apple would shortly release a phone with a nearly bezel-less design, lack of physical home button,
Face ID, and other new features.[6] Much of the leaked information was confirmed at the keynote.

An iOS 11 GM build was also leaked over the preceding weekend, confirming the new design and
features and revealing the new Apple Watch Series 3 with LTE connectivity.[7]

On August 31, 2017, Apple invited journalists to a September 12 press event,[8][9] the first public
event held at the Steve Jobs Theater on the company's new Apple Park campus in Cupertino,
California.[10][11][12] The iPhone X was unveiled during that keynote. Its US$999 starting price is
the most expensive iPhone launch price.[13] The price is even higher in international markets, such
as 999 (US$1349) in the United Kingdom or 1189 (US$1344) in Italy due to sales taxes such as VAT
and tariffs on imports.[14]

Specifications

Hardware

The iPhone X has a 5.8-inch (diagonal) OLED color-accurate screen that supports DCI-P3 wide color
gamut, sRGB, and high dynamic range. This "Super Retina HD Display" has the True Tone technology
found on the iPad Pro, which uses six-channel ambient light sensors to adapt the display's white
balance to the surrounding ambient light. It has a typical contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1, a typical
maximum brightness of 625 cd/m2, (or nits), and a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating.
The iPhone X has two color options, Silver and Space Gray.[15] The front and back of the phone are
composed of surgical-grade stainless steel to improve durability. The back has a glass slab over the
aluminum to enable wireless charging. The design is intended to be IP67 water and dust
resistant.[16]

The iPhone X contains the Apple's A11 Bionic SoC, which is a hexa-core processor using the 10nm
process. It has the Neural Engine, which is the AI accelerator. It has two cores optimized for
performance which are 25 percent faster than the A10 Fusion along with four efficiency-optimized
cores which are 70 percent faster than the iPhone 7.[17][18]

Face ID replaces the Touch ID system. The facial recognition sensor consists of two parts: a "Romeo"
module that projects more than 30,000 infrared dots onto the user's face, and a "Juliet" module that
reads the pattern.[19] The pattern is sent to the secure enclave in the A11 Bionic chip (which
contains a dedicated AI accelerator) to confirm a match with the phone's owner's face. The system
will not work with eyes closed, preventing access if unattended.[20][21]

The iPhone X has two cameras on the rear, including a 12 megapixel wide-angle camera with a six-
element lens, IR filter, autofocus, f/1.8 aperture, digital image stabilization, and optical image
stabilization. It can capture in burst, HDR, Live Photo, and panorama modes. It can also record 4K
video at 24, 30, or 60 fps and 1080p video at 30 or 60 fps with cinematic video stabilization. It can
also record slow-motion video (1080p or 720p at 120 or 240 fps) and timelapses with stabilization.
The telephoto lens has 2 optical zoom / 10 digital zoom with an aperture of f/2.4 and optical
image stabilization. It can capture in Portrait Mode and Portrait Lighting (in beta). It also has a quad-
LED "True Tone" flash with 2 better light uniformity.

On the front of the phone, a 7-megapixel TrueDepth front camera has a f/2.2 aperture. It can
capture in burst mode, it has an exposure control, face detection, auto-HDR, auto image
stabilization, Retina flash, 1080p HD video recording, and it now enables Portrait Mode (blurred
background or bokeh), Portrait Lighting (beta) and Animoji (animated emojis).

It also supports Qi-standard wireless charging, and Apple's own charging mat called AirPower.

Software

The iPhone X will launch with a tweaked version of iOS 11.1 to use the different screen layout.[22]

The home button, which made its debut on the original iPhone, has been removed from iPhone X
and most of its functions replaced with gestures, as on the home button-less Nokia N9, BlackBerry
Z10, and WebOS devices. Some features like Siri and Apple Pay can be invoked using the side button.
