Apple unveils iPhone 8 and £1,000 iPhone X with all-screen display and wireless charging

[Proudpakistaniguy]

Everything announced today
So, from top to bottom:

• The Apple Watch Series 3 ships on 22 September. $329/£329 without cellular connection, and $£399 with.
  
• The Apple TV 4k ships on 22 September, at $£179.
  
• The iPhone 8 starts at $£699 for 64GB and the iPhone 8 plus $£799, shipping on 22 September.
  
• And the iPhone X (that’s “iPhone Ten”, if you want to be one of those people who calls a gif a jif) starts at $£999 for a 64GB model, rising to an astonishing $£1,149 for the 256GB version, and will be available for pre-order from 27 October, shipping on 3 November

Apple has unveiled the iPhone X, its most futuristic ever phone.

The company says that the new phone is "the biggest leap forward since the original iPhone" and that it "will set the path of technology for the next decade". It was released alongside the more conventional iPhone 8, at an Apple event in California.

The new phone will cost $999 and will be released on 3 November, Apple said. (It also confirmed that the name is pronounced "ten", not "ex".)


Chief among the new features is a screen that goes all the way over the front of the phone.

That display is what Apple refers to as "super retina", using OLED technology for richer colours and sharper images.

Apple also boasted about how the phone can be unlocked simply by looking at it, because of sensors packed into the notch at the top of the screen.

"With iPhone 10, your iPhone is locked until you look at it, and it recognises you," said marketing chief Phil Schiller. "Nothing has ever been more simple, natural and effortless. We call this Face ID. Face ID is the future of how we unlock our smartphones and protect our sensitive information."

It does that by first taking a mathematical model of the users face. It then users those sensors – invisibly and in real time – to check whether the person holding the phone's face matches up with the one it has stored.

It said that the biometric recognition is far more accurate than the TouchID fingerprint sensor that is used in all of Apple's phones up until now, including the iPhone 8 that was released at the same time.

Not really
Iphones are pricey eventhough note 8 is not cheaper either but people buy apple iphones for its software not for its hardware

copying good stuffs i.e water proofing, bezel-less displays, fast charging etc from others is actually good for consumers

apple used to have rubbish camera but now they are competing with pixel and galaxy so these phones are now as good as any top end android phones if you can afford.

It claims to be the best in the business yet it is nothing but a crippled locked-up system
Its slowly turning into an also ran

It will definitely be the best iphone

That it will be but is it the best smartphone nope not even in the same league

Hey common,

Look at its design does it not remind you of the flagship of a certain south korean company?

Still too big. Even the SE is a bit on the large size. I'd prefer a thicker unit, smaller screen, and lots of memory. I still remember my first Blackberry fondly - too bad it kept overheating and was buggy as h#ll.

I am andorid fanboy but its first time i am tempting to buy iphone 10.. When you are comparing apple market with android then dont forget that apple release only 2/3 phone in each years unlike android and apple still generate so much revenue and profits compare to android where you have so many brands and different categories i.e low end. medium tier and flagships ..Google also releasing pixel to compete with apple but still apple managed to attract vast majority of buyers who like the software experience of ios and durability of iphones

Phones with small screen are history . You can try Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact though which has flagship specification in tiny body

SE is too tiny . You are calling it large then you must have very small hands lol

 

[The Diplomat]

I got an Iphone SE and there's no way i'm changing that untill another 3 years pass... Too costly.

 

[Proudpakistaniguy]

Can someone explain to me why a phone cost $1000 UD sollars in USA cost £1000 pounds in UK. Which currency exchange rate they use? lol

Someone living in USA should buy it for me to save me $320 dollars

 

[Zibago]

so much revenue and profits compare to android

They overcharge for their products i mean have you looked at the price of their wireless headphones
Thats just insane

durability of iphones

Lol the buttbenders?Good joke

Google also releasing pixel to compete with apple

Not really its actually aimed at other androids

with apple but still apple managed to attract vast majority of buyers

Their market share has been falling globally in all markets

Exchange rate of business. Why put it on sale for £752 when people will still buy it for £1000.

are you here to bash apple? lol sure apple phones are pricey but top end phone of each mobile brand is expensive for example look at price of google pixel XL which has even lower specification and then look prices of htc u11, s8 plus, note 8 etc ..why just blame apple? Apple phones are benchmark champions if you are after 3d gaming then they have most raw power of cpu and Gpu than any other flagship.. I dislike apple only because its closed system but then some people prefer simplicity and security over customizations

Market share is not bad for a company who produce only 3 phone every year in comparision to thousand models of google, htc, samsung, lg, chinese mobile brands i.e huawei, xiamon. zte oneplus eec etc

Please, Apple is the #1 most valuable brand in the world. Calling it an "also ran" or the next Blackberry is laughable.
