Top 5 reasons to buy Apple iPhone X

FaceID

It is the first ever iPhone to sport FaceID that is certainly a futuristic feature for the fans to experience. FYI, the company has replaced TouchID with FaceID for unlocking the phone that is powered by a neural engine, a new A11 bionic chip and TrueDepth camera technology.

A detailed digital “map” of the face is recorded while users attempt to set it as their phone unlock feature. The company claims it to be extremely safe and it’ll keep hackers at bay. However, the feature didn’t work as expected at the announcement ceremony held at the Steve Jobs theatre.

OLED screen

It is the first iPhone to embrace an edge-to-edge 5.8-inch OLED display, which is pleasing to sight and exceptional at the quality. The iPhones are getting bigger in size and iPhone X is no exception. It boasts a SuperRetina screen of 2436 x 1125 resolution that also supports DolbyVision.

Animojis

Awesomeness and innovation continue with this feature of the iPhone X. There are Animojis (cartoon animal characters) that can replicate your facial expressions. It is another exclusive Apple feature that has been made possible with phone’s front camera and 3D mapping sensors.

Camera

The cameras (front and rear) come with enhanced capabilities. Optical image stabilization (OIS) has been incorporated to both the cameras. The rear camera setup has a new quad-LED True Tone Flash with Slow Sync and offers 4k video recording. The specially-designed front camera is a 7MP TrueDepth camera with phenomenal FaceID capabilities.

Portrait mode and special lighting effects

With a number of new tricks, portrait mode makes it even more alluring to click and capture portraits. The feature of adding professional lightning to photos is something that’ll add a professional touch to your phone-clicked photographs. There are five different effects-

Reasons not to buy Apple iPhone X

Hefty price tag

The hefty price tag it comes with is something that’ll hold a lot of buyers back if not all. It has been slated to be a £999 iPhone, most expensive iPhone ever.

Processor

iPhone X is powered by the A11 processor, which the Apple’s latest 10nm A11 Bionic chipset with six-core CPU. The same configuration is boasted by its other siblings including iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. Then why spend huge on ‘X’ when you can buy 8 and 8 Plus at much lower prices.

Interface

The iPhones are said to be the easiest smartphones as far as UI is concerned. But the new iPhone X has done plenty changes to its basic UI, which are good enough to baffle users in the first place. No Home Button, the inclusion of FaceID, new UI and much more which users need to adapt with.

Not enough exclusivity

There are not enough features that distinguish the ‘X’ from comparatively cheaper iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. This means spending hugely on ‘X’ is not a wise decision.

All-glass look

Although, it is beautiful and grants a stunning look to the phone, it is too fragile to handle. You need to be extra careful with this phone and getting it replaced in case you break either end (front and back) would be costly too.
