Apple's tenth-anniversary edition of iPhone -- iPhone X -- is available for pre-order in India. At a starting price of Rs 89,000, iPhone X is the company's most expensive iPhone launched so far. Apple CEO Tim Cook called iPhone X "the biggest leap forward since the original iPhone" at the smartphone's launch event held at the company's new campus Apple Park (in California) on September 12.
Though so far there is no announcement, buyers are likely to get cashback offer on Apple iPhone X purchases made via CitiBank credit card. Sources, who didn't want to be named, told GadgetsNow that a cashback offer is in the works. It may either be flat Rs 10,000 off or a discount of 10% on MRP. So far, no offer is available on Apple iPhone X on Amazon India's website. However, Flipkart is offering 10% no-cost EMI options on Bajaj Finserv starting at Rs 4,499. There's also an extra 5% off on Axis Bank Buzz cards.
Apple iPhone X is the only one of the three new iPhones launched (other being iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus) this year to have an OLED display. The smartphone with 5.8-inch OLED screen features Apple’s highest resolution phone display: 2436 x 1125 pixels at 458 pixels per inch density (ppi). The company has termed this Super Retina display. The HDR display also supports Dolby Vision and HDR10.
Apple iPhone X comes with an all-glass front and back. It features what Apple claims is "the most durable glass ever in a smartphone in silver or space gray, while a highly polished, surgical-grade stainless steel band seamlessly wraps around and reinforces iPhone X. A seven-layer color process allows for precise color hues and opacity on the glass finish, and a reflective optical layer enhances the rich colors, making the design as elegant as it is durable, while maintaining water and dust resistance."
Courtesy edge-to-edge display, there's no Home button on iPhone X. Users now just need to tap on the smartphone to 'wake it up'. It also has got a new gesture language, swiping up will launch the multi-tasking screen. To switch to another app, users just need to pause mid-swipe. Holding down the larger side button will launch Siri.
There's no fingerprint sensor in the Apple iPhone X. The TouchID has been replaced by FaceID. iPhone X uses facial recognition to unlock. Users can set up FaceID by letting their iPhone X make a detailed digital "map" of their face. Apple claims that FaceID is much easier and safer. According to the company, there's a one in a million chance of someone being able to 'hack' your phone. FaceID is said to be powered by a 'neural engine' powered by the company's A11 Bionic processor.
Wireless charging finally comes to iPhones with iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. The wireless charging in the new iPhones uses a standard called Qi, the same that is also used by Samsung Electronics. Apple also announced that it is making a charging mat called AirPower that can simultaneously charge an iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods.
iPhone X comes in two storage variants, 64GB and 256GB. Apple iPhone X is priced at Rs 89,000 while 256GB variant is priced at Rs 1,02,000.
iPhone X has dual camera setup at the back. Both the rear cameras are 12MP and have optical image stabilisation (OIS) support. While one has an aperture of f/1.8, the other has f/2.4. It offers 4K video recording, new quad LED True Tone Flash with Slow Sync. At the front, there's a 7MP TrueDepth camera. Apple is said to have developed it specially for FaceID.
Apple iPhone X is powered by the company's all-new new A11 Bionic chipset. It has a six-core CPU design. Apple claims that it offers two more hours of battery life than iPhone 7.
Apple iPhone X comes in two colour variants Space Gray and Silver. The device is also water and dust resistant. It also sports Apple’s True Tone feature found on the iPad Pro.
