This is it!
This is what it actually looks like, the new iPhone X; although I'm not used to the decision of an "x" generation of iPhones- it does make sense not to go to an iPhone 23 haha!
Which with that being said perhaps the "x" stands for 10..? Roman numeral style? Or perhaps since this is what apple has been trying to achieve for so long (a full screen iPhone) that the "x" marks the spot... actually succeeding in creating such a beautiful masterpiece?
So first off, they kept the thickness of the phone the same, actually if not a TAD bit smaller.
They have made it so that the whole front is now a screen (except for the very thin black border, and I mean VERY thin black border)
For photographers alike, the biggest selling point is the new and improved cameras, both front and back.
As usual they amped up the camera's megapixels and such (can't remember the real numbers) and alongside a better CPU, the camera's memory can store more detail... which means more crisp photos!
Not only did they do that but they also added a beta program into the iPhone's image editor:
Portrait mode
You will be able to take a normal shot and go in afterwards to edit the said photo to make it look like a "studio grade" portrait!
It has an effect of brighter lighting, a 1,000,000 to 1 contrast ratio, and it even has a telephoto option to it now!
Now to the functionality of it, you can choose to either unlock the phone with a password or by using only your face; and to go with that feature you can also pay for things using only your face (bear in mind you have to have your money on the phone itself i.e. Debit or credit card).
For you emoji lovers out there, you can now Aniemoji yourself! Meaning by using the same type of feature as the face unlock, it will recognize your face and create the selected emoji out of you. It also mimickes your movements; even down to squinting eyebrows, and send them to your friends.
Speaking about friends, the Apple Music store will now be able to have you share your favourite music with others to create a specific choice of a playlist... NO MORE UNWANTED BEATS! 😜
In 2018 I believe that Apple wants to try and have wireless charging as well. With the simplicity of a white pad that you set your phone on top of, it'll charge up to 5 devices, providing that they can fit on the pad.
Augmented reality is now a true reality.
With the camera you can have live feed be altered so that an animated object will either eat your friends or dance around the screen, as if it were really in the real world.
So much to talk about and so much to expect out of the upcoming masterpiece from Apple; we'll just have to see if it actually going to hold true to (my) hype!
