Released on November 3, 2017, with pre orders starting on October 27, the iPhone X (iPhone 10), may possibly be the best iPhone Apple’s ever made. Although the phone is being priced at $999 for 65GB and $1,149 for 256GB, many have looked past the expensive cost of the phone for the new features that come with it.

So what’s new?

First off, the overall size of the screen was enlarged after removing the home button. The phone is slightly larger than the 4.7-inch iPhone 8, but it has a bigger screen than the 5.5-inch iPhone 8 Plus. The screen also has an all glass rear, with the dual camera in a vertical orientation on the back.

The Apple company said that the iPhone X is the most “sophisticated technology [they have] ever developed.” It features durable glass in the front and back. stainless steel, wireless charging, and water and dust resistance. It is no surprise that many who didn’t preorder before the release date will experience a longer shipping time.

Junior Ronald Flores, who preordered the phone just in time said his favorite feature is the “face ID and the camera quality.” He says he has already filled his camera roll with “many new pictures”. The new facial recognition can be used to authorize purchases, unlock your phone, and sign in to your apps. This makes everything easy to access. Senior Anjali Mistry, says that she plans to get the new iPhone X and is most excited for the animoji because she can “send videos of moving emojis to her friends.” Animi is another one of the many features that the iPhone X offers. It analyzes your facial expressions and mirrors those expressions in the imessage app.

Senior Valeria Salcedo thinks that the new iPhone is “very expensive,” but that “it will be worth it.”Many people either have the iPhone X already or are looking to get it. This new product shows how advanced technology has been getting and how apple continues to evolve.
