3. iPhone X: The first iPhone with 5.8 inch screen

On 2007, Steve Jobs introduced original iPhone with a 3.5 inch screen. Then on 2012, a year after Steve Jobs passed away, Tim Cook embraced Apple fans and the world with a 4-inch screen iPhone via its iPhone 5.
On 2014, Apple again surprised the fans and the world, followed the trend and launched a 4.8 inch and 5.5 inch iPhone – with the later model, they called it “Plus”.
Then only on this year, 2017, Tim Cook made a surprised (again) to all of us by launching iPhone X with 5.8 all screen iPhone

5. iPhone X: The first iPhone with Face ID

Before 2013, all iPhone was secured only using passcode or password.
Since 2013 until early 2017, Apple made a breakthrough. iPhone was given additional way to secure and unlock the iPhone: the Touch ID. It’s unlike fingerprint technology before it. All iPhone users need to do is just lay down their finger and without swiping, the iPhone gets unlocked. How cool is that! This fingerprint technology then become standard on 2014 flagship phones until today.
4 years later, after Apple tried to keep enhancing the Touch ID, this year – 2017, Apple again made a breakthrough by releasing the Touch ID replacement: Face ID. Although it’s pretty much similar with Samsung Iris scanner or any face scanner that comes before iPhone X, but technically they are so much different. I can say it’s like comparing Touch ID on iPhone 5S when it was first released with fingerprint scanners that were introduced before iPhone 5S. Apple Face ID even works on dark room, with glasses on, wet face and from various different angles. It’s performance still considered slow -as many are complaining about it – but we’ll see what Apple can do to improve its Face ID unlocking on iPhone X.

6. iPhone X: The first iPhone with Animoji feature

I do still remember during iPhone 3G or 3GS time, where emoji was starting to boom. At that time, to enable iPhone to use emoji, you need to purhase an app priced $0.99. Then on subsequent years, luckily Apple enable emoji as one of its keyboard for free – not only available for Japan customers.
Jump to today, Apple introduced Animoji – animated emoji on its iPhone X. Although it seems like gimmicky feature from Apple, yet from so many reasons people buying iPhone X, one of them is because today, only iPhone X has this Animoji feature.

Last year 2016 when Apple introduced iPhone 7 Plus with its dual back camera that can do bokeh shots easily (shots with focus on main object and blurry background), the world jumped and hyped about it – about how easy to get bokeh shots without much techniques. That was also one of the reasons people were getting iPhone 7 Plus.
