Everything is changed and improved on iPhone X. The display is edge to edge with no bezels. The front of the iPhone is all display which looks really good. Finally the display is OLED. The corners of the display are rounded and it’s 5.8” new Super Retina display.

With the new iPhone X, you get TrueDepth feature. It’s basically the front facing camera with some new cool features. Now you can find Portrait Mode in front facing camera too which helps you to take selfies with blurred background and focuses on just your face. Also a new feature (Both in rear and front camera) in Portrait mode is Portrait Lighting. It gives your photos studio-quality lighting effect. And also with the help of TrueDepth camera, it analyses your face muscles and you get same expression in 12 Animoji including panda, pig and robot.

The new most famous feature of the iPhone X is the new Face ID. Apple says it’s a secure new way to unlock, authenticate, and pay. Face ID uses the new TrueDepth camera to analyse your face. Apple says TrueDepth camera projects and analyses more than 30,000 invisible dots to create a precise depth map of your face. Face ID is the new way for Apple Pay. And yes, it replaces the Touch ID and there is no more Home button in iPhone X.

And if you’re wondering if there is no Home button how will you go to home directly from apps then there is a gesture now. Just swipe up from the bottom of the display and it takes you to home and to get to the multitasking pause while swiping up from the bottom of the display.

There is a tiny space on the top of the display. It houses all the sensors and cameras used for Face ID with microphone and speaker.

There are two rear cameras in iPhone X same like the iPhone 7+ or iPhone 8+ one wide and one telephoto but it’s now vertical orientation instead of horizontal. Both cameras are 12 Megapixel and they’re both optically stabilized.
