Eager buyers waiting long lines for days and weeks. All tech channels focusing their attention on one thing alone. Android users over the internet talking about how they’ve got the best phone deal and a complete deal of other shenanigans.

But Before Deciding Whether To Buy, Have A Look At Some Of The Shocking Facts Behind It

1The iPhone X (along with the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus) will be the first to have fast charging capabilities which already exists on Android devices. Apple promises a 50% charge in 30 minutes.

2Storing has become a secondary issue as the new phones support  HEIF(high-efficiency image format) and HEVC (high-efficiency video compression) formats. This allows for better compression and booting.

3Never fear of being lost on a desolate island. The phones have been synced with the new Galileo satellite system. Apple also plans to introduce  QZSS for better positioning for those Asia-Pacific regions.

4Apple made its debut into wireless charging through the popular Qi ecosystem making it compatible with most wireless charging docks.

5iPhone X is powered by the latest A11 Bionic processor which led Apple to brag a 35 per cent faster speed.

6Continuing its trend of removing hardware features, Apple removed the home button. But it’s been replaced with a simple swipe up that takes you back to the home screen.

7Fingerprint scans are an age old opening mechanism. Apple has replaced it with a facial and optical detection system.

8In terms of brightness, the iPhone X screen illuminates at 625 nits. Still nowhere near bright the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 that has 1,240 nits.

9The phones have an updated 12-megapixel dual-lens cameras on the rear amplifying the photography and making augmented reality more immersive.

10The iPhone X is slated for a price of $999 and too only for the 64GB version. Speculators suggest that the 256GB iPhone X will cost around $1,149.

11Apple gifted TruDepth for the emoji lovers. The camera captures and analyses nearly 50 different facial muscle movements and turns them into animations and emojis.

12The screen has been dubbed a ‘Super Retina Display’. It’s a 1125×2436 OLED display allegedly made by Samsung.
