IPhone 8 or iPhone X: which one would you go for?

And while Apple’s marketing guru Phil Schiller described the facial-recognition technology to open and operate the latest iPhone as perfectly safe – “Nothing”, he said, “has ever been simpler or more secure.” – much of the global audience seems wary of the technology the Cupertino company has dubbed Face ID.

Customers who buy the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, or iPhone X on EIP will automatically get the iPhone upgrade program and its one-time benefit.

So, Apple unveiled 3 new phones, as rumored. It is also said that the iPhone 8 and the iPhone 8 Plus will begin its sale from September 22.

The tech company has revealed three new iPhones along with a new Apple Watch.

Once you got past the fawning over Steve Jobs and the comical rebranding of retail stores, yesterday’s Apple Event had some news with important IT implications.

The display has also seen updates as the resolution is now sharper and the display uses OLED technology in what Apple is calling Super Retina.

But there’s not a lot of video in 4K and HDR yet, nor are there many TVs that can display it.

The Home button that sits at the bottom of all other iPhones to date has been scrapped and users now swipe up from the bottom of the screen to go back to Home. For example, he asks what the source was for the billion face images Apple touted as the training set for the system, since a lack of diversity there could lead to underrepresented groups being unable to use Face ID.

Face ID uses an infrared camera to create three-dimensional models of its users’ faces, which, in theory, could prove more nuanced than previous two-dimensional systems.

But security might still be an issue, particularly if the iPhone X’s facial recognition can be tricked by intruders trying to break into a device designed for big spenders and luxury lovers.

The iPhone 8 packs a dual-camera setup with a 12-megapixel camera.

The company also threw a light on the company’s internals. It has 3GB of RAM according to Geekbench, and a 6-core ARM processor. The design of iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are somewhat similar to its existing variant iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. It is water and dust resistant and comes with LTE Advanced enabled. Hitting stores on September 22, the new Apple Watch with cellular support will start at $399, while the base price of the GPS-only version is $329.

Silver, gold and space grey colour options are available for both the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.

If you want to own an iPhone X then you can pre-order it from Friday, October 27.

Emojis have become such a popular way of communication in our smartphone-driven culture that the iPhone X’s “animoji” feature could prove popular as well. “Although the moniker skips the “s” generation, few new features differentiate the phone from its direct predecessor”, the firm said. I will not cater this smartphone in the normal high-end smartphone category that we previously had been seeing.
