With a price tag of $999, people are wondering if purchasing Apple's latest phone product, the Apple X, is worth it. The Apple X went on sale all over the world on Nov. 3.
Apple announced the iPhone 8 and iPhone X during an event at the Steve Jobs Theater on Sept. 12. Apple introduced the iPhone X to honor the 10<sup>th anniversary of the smartphone product.
During the presentation of the new product, new features were demonstrated like the Face ID that allows people to access and lock their device using a facial recognition system. The new camera features of the iPhone X include faster Telephoto lens and a new setup called TrueDepth camera. The iPhone 8's camera has the same in some settings like a dual-lens, 12-megapixel camera, six element lens, and Hybrid IR filter just like the X. However, the 8 model doesn't have the new features of X.
According to Cnet, the iPhone X captures better photos especially with the low light setting. However, the article also argued that considering the additional camera features, the additional $200 for buying an X model is not worth it. The iPhone X comes in 64 GB and 256 GB options. The product weights 174 grams and has a Super Retina HD display. In terms of performance, the X runs with an A11 Bionic chip with 64-bit architecture. The X operates with the iOS 11 that includes the Airplay 2, QuickType keyboard, and more.
One distinct difference between the iPhone X and all other Apple smartphones is the absence of the home button to make more room for the screen. According to the iPhone X description on the Apple website, one of the biggest vision of Apple is a smartphone that is entirely screen. It states, "Our vision has always been to create an iPhone that is entirely screen. One so immersive the device itself disappears into the experience."
