The Apple event that took place yesterday was everything the fans expected. Tim Cook gave us a sneak peek of Apple’s future ambitions and also showcased their products scheduled to be released in the coming months. The iPhone 8 was announced and it is a standard upgrade from the previous model but the showstopper of the event was the 10th anniversary model, the iPhone X. The future is here, the future is now.
What looked like the biggest leap Apple has taken in years left everyone in awe. The iPhone X has an all-glass, edge-to-edge bezel less display meaning it’s all screen with no home button (RIP home button, you have served us well). Plus it boasts the most durable glass ever, wireless charging and also the state of the art A11Bionic chip. The A11 is not only the most powerful chip in smartphone history but also the smartest, it learns.
Apple has completely revamped its camera and has introduced features like Portrait Lighting which will allow us to take photos like professionals. But the real standout features were Face ID and the integration of augmented reality. You heard that right; Face ID means that you can now unlock your phone by simple looking at it! Augmented reality on the other hand allows you to turn yourself into emojis and also implement 3D imagery into real life. Simply breathtaking, Apple’s masterpiece!
The iPhone X will be available in 64GB and 256GB and can be pre-ordered starting from October 27. In the words of Apple we have never indeed seen anything like it.
