The iPhone X also wins the camera game, with a slightly more impressive telephoto lens and optical image stabilization for both rear cameras. Though all three new iPhones will support HDR content, it’ll be the iPhone X which showcases it the best. It’s OLED, too, which should look more impressive than the other models’ IPS LCDs. The iPhone X boasts a 5.8” edge-to-edge “Super Retina” display, which is bigger than the iPhone 8 Plus’, despite the smaller form factor of the phone. This device is all screen, save for a tiny fringe at the top, which contains a bunch of sensors. We were then introduced to the iPhone X (pronounced “iPhone ten”). Both will be made available on September 22, with pre-orders being taken from September 15. The iPhone 8 will be available for $699, while the iPhone 8 Plus will cost $799. That’s cool, but what’s even cooler, is “Portrait Lighting.” This uses machine learning to analyze the light on a person’s face, and alter it to look more flattering, without resorting to the blurry effects of those horrid “beauty modes.” Apple is claiming it will let in 83% more light than the iPhone 7’s shooter. Then there’s the camera (iPhone 8) and cameras (iPhone 8 Plus), which are tuned to allow for better performance in darker conditions. I’ll skip the technical mumbo-jumbo and just state that it’s supposed to be an absolute beast, and should ensure any lag or slowdown is kept at bay. Internally, things get a little more interesting, with Apple’s new A11 Bionic processor powering the full range of 2017 iPhones. Display size remains unchanged (4.7” and 5.5”), and color options have been refined to a choice between black, silver, and a new (non-rose) gold. This allows them to finally support wireless charging. The biggest external change is the new glass material covering the rear of the phones. The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus were revealed together, and rock a similar aesthetic to last year’s models.
