The iPhone X: Celebrate the Smartphone’s Tenth Anniversary

0
Written by Arelys Alexander on November 3, 2017

The iPhone X, which the tech world is pronouncing as the iPhone 10, has arrived to quite a fanfare. Indeed, its temptations are hard to resist.

Notice and Feel the Difference

The Apple iPhone XThe iPhone X is a phone that impresses when you pick it up. It’s fairly large, with a 5.8-inch OLED screen; yet it remains light at 6.14 ounces. It also feels and looks good. There’s glass front and back, complemented by stainless steel, and a choice of color: silver or space gray.

With the iPhone X in your hand, you then notice the lack of a button along the bottom. This is because the iPhone X does not have touch ID, as with the iPhone 8; instead, your face gains you access. This Face ID feature is secure enough for you to use it for every personal aspect of the phone, including Apple Pay.

What’s more, there’s no need to worry about any changes to your appearance, such as wearing glasses or (although we may not like to admit to this) ageing. The iPhone X has a machine-learning capability that accounts for such differences.

Navigation

The iPhone X does not have the Home button seen on previous modelsCompared with previous iPhones, the lack of a button on the iPhone X means that you are more reliant on swipes for navigation. However, swipes, gestures, and taps are now a familiar part of using technology. So, a button-less approach is a natural development.

Screen

The screen of the iPhone X has some notable specs. The resolution is 2436 by 1125 with 458 pixels per inch and a 1,000,000 to 1 contrast ratio. For comparison, it’s worth checking out the specs of your current phone. For example, the screen of an iPhone 7 has a resolution of 1334 by 750 with 326 pixels per inch and a 1400 to 1 contrast ratio.

What these comparisons mean is that the iPhone X has an exceptional screen. You can expect sharply defined images and vibrant colors.

With such a screen, you can take great pictures and videos. The iPhone X has wide-angle and telephoto lenses, together with a 10x digital zoom for your photos and a 6x digital zoom for your videos. Advanced lighting effects, filters, and dual optical image stabilization also enable you to produce creative images.

Developments

Of course, these developments require an operating system to match. Apple has addressed this challenge and produced a system that incorporates new gestures. It has also placed the A11 Bionic chip in the iPhone X. This chip, apart from ensuring rapid all-round performance, gives the phone the capacity for augmented reality games and apps.

Battery

Normally, such features are likely to drain the battery fast. Apple has fortunately considered this. A new controller and battery design mean that the iPhone X gives you the power you need for an extra two hours more than the iPhone 7. And when you need to charge the battery, you do so wirelessly.

The Future

In sum, the iPhone X is at the front of the latest smartphone technology. If you’re thinking of upgrading your current phone, then it could be time to buy the best that’s available.   The iPhone X is priced at $999.

The iPhone 8: What Can it Offer You?

Written by Arelys Alexander on September 22, 2017

In a competitive world, you’re entitled to ask: “What can a new phone offer me?” This is why companies such as Apple promote phones that are at the forefront of technology. The iPhone 8 is a good example.    

Appearance

First, it’s worth considering the look of the iPhone 8; after all, whatever technology you may want, a phone still has to look good. A phone’s shape, of course, is fairly standard. So to make the iPhone 8 stand out, Apple has used a new style of casing made of glass.

The glass covers the front and back. It’s durable and undoubtedly stylish. Aluminum bands complete the look around the edge of the phone and the lenses. You also have a choice of gold, silver, and space gray finishes.

Wireless charging

iPhone 8 Wireless ChargingApart from giving the iPhone 8 a smart, sophisticated feel, the glass design is practical. The glass back ensures that when you place the iPhone 8 on a Qi, mophie, or Belkin mat, you can charge it wirelessly.

It’s hard to argue against the ease of charging the iPhone 8 wirelessly. And while we’re on the subject, keep an eye open for Apple’s AirPower mat that’s due to appear. You can use this to wirelessly charge up to three Apple devices at the same time.

The Bionic Chip

But what of the iPhone 8’s other new technology? At the heart of this is the phone’s A11 Bionic chip. The technical details of this chip are impressive. What they mean in essence is that you have faster all-round performance from the iPhone 8 without a loss of battery power.

What’s more, the A11 Bionic chip provides the power you need for the latest augmented reality apps and games. You can also play 3D console-style games on the iPhone 8 thanks to Apple’s Metal 2 graphics software.

The Screen

When you play games or use apps, you often want to view the screen from different angles. The iPhone 8’s dual-domain pixels ensure that you can do this. To improve the screen still further, Apple has also introduced Retina HD technology, 3D touch, and what it refers to as True Tone. The developments behind True Tone provide vivid and precise images.

Camera

The features of the phone’s camera also match the quality of the screen and include a six-element lens, digital zoom, a new color filter, and 4K video recording. If you’re someone who uses your phone’s camera to capture all-important moments, you’re going to have fun.

Two Sizes

Finally, you should know that the iPhone 8 has a larger version, the iPhone 8 plus. The general features are the same – both have 64GB and 256GB capacity, for instance – but with the iPhone 8 plus, you have a 5.5-inch screen instead of 4.7 inches and a telephoto camera. Why not take at look at both models and see what suits you best?  The iPhone 8 starts at $699, while the iPhone 8 Plus starts at $799.
