As the crowds gathered to watch the anticipated launch of the new technology from Apple, there was one thing on everyone’s mind – iPhone X.
And it didn’t disappoint.
The new iPhone X (pronounced iPhone 10) offers a full screen and no Home button. As you no longer have to use the Home button to unlock your iPhone, all you do is tap the screen or pick it up. You can still activate Siri with ‘Hey Siri’ or just push the button on the side. Wireless charging is another feature added to the collection.
Face ID was a big part of the launch with the new technology being able to scan your features (and update details as you face changes through time) to unlock the phone and even access Apple Pay.
We are mostly taken with the fact that facial recognition tech allows you to create facially-tracked animated emojis – we always wanted to be a unicorn.
The front camera also gets an update and will let you take “Portrait Mode” photos, perfect for selfies. All these features have cast a shadow over iPhone 8 which was also announced during the presentation.
Get ready to line up at the nearest Apple store in the region on November 3.
