Design and Display
How do you create a deeply intelligent device where the enclosure and display are a single, uninterrupted element? That’s the goal we first set for ourselves with the original iPhone. With iPhone X, we’ve achieved it.

The purest expression of iPhone.
To create a continuous surface, with nothing to get in the way of your experience, we replaced the Home button with new yet familiar ways to navigate.

So much technology. In so little space.
The TrueDepth camera system allows you to take amazing photos and enables Face ID. It’s housed in a tiny space at the top of the display, yet within this miniaturised module are some of the most advanced technologies we’ve ever developed.

Introducing Super Retina. Beauty through engineering.
The OLED panel in the Super Retina display isn’t just any OLED. It’s custom-built to our exacting standards, allowing for an HDR display with a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio; high resolution and brightness; wide colour support; and the best colour accuracy in the industry.

Brilliance to the edges.
Using innovative folding and circuit-stacking technology, the OLED panel follows the curves of the device into the furthest reaches of the corners. Then it uses a process called subpixel anti-aliasing to tune individual pixels for smooth, distortion-free edges.

True Tone.
For a more comfortable viewing experience.
True Tone technology uses an advanced six-channel ambient light sensor to subtly adjust the onscreen white balance to match the colour temperature of the light around you. So images on the display look as natural as on a printed page, reducing eyestrain.

HDR.
Now playing for the first time on iPhone.
iPhone X is a true High Dynamic Range (HDR) display. You can watch movies and shows in Dolby Vision and HDR10. Your HDR photos will look even more amazing. And you’ll be able to watch HDR titles from iTunes, Netflix and more.

The most durable glass ever in a smartphone.
The front and back are all glass — the most durable we’ve ever made, with a strengthening layer that’s 50 per cent deeper. A seven-layer ink process allows for precise hues and opacity, and a reflective optical layer enhances the colours. And an oleophobic coating lets you easily wipe off smudges and fingerprints.

Wireless charging for a wireless world.
We’ve always intended iPhone to be a truly wireless device, free from charging cables and headphone cords. With a glass back and an embedded wireless charging system, iPhone X is designed for a wireless future.

Surgical‑grade stainless steel.
The stainless steel band that wraps around and reinforces iPhone X is a special Apple-designed alloy that’s both durable and more pure, and it polishes beautifully. For the space grey finish, we use a process called physical vapour deposition to precisely match the colour of the stainless steel band to that of the glass.

Resists water, splashes and dust.
iPhone X is precision-engineered at the microscopic level to protect against water, splashes and dust.

Face ID
What could be more natural than a touch? A look. That was the insight behind Face ID, a powerful and secure authentication system that’s even more convenient than Touch ID. It makes unlocking and paying fast, easy and intuitive.

The incredible technology behind incredible simplicity.
The TrueDepth camera system is composed of multiple innovative technologies. Working together in real time, they use a detailed depth map of your face to recognise you in an instant.

Your face is your secure password.
With Face ID, iPhone X only unlocks when you’re looking at it. It’s also designed to protect against tricking by photos or masks. Your Face ID information is encrypted and protected by the Secure Enclave. And it’s private — your data doesn’t leave your device and is never backed up to iCloud or anywhere else.

Once it knows you, it knows you.
Face ID uses advanced machine learning to recognise changes in your appearance. Wear a hat. Grow a beard. Put on glasses. You can even use Face ID with many types of sunglasses. So even if your friends don’t recognise you, Face ID will.

So smart it only works when you want it to.
For additional security, Face ID is attention-aware, meaning it only unlocks your iPhone X when you look towards the device with your eyes open. That means Face ID can also reveal notifications and messages, keep the screen lit when you’re reading, or lower the volume of an alarm or ringer.

TrueDepth Camera
How much innovative thinking can you fit into a tiny space? Quite a lot, it turns out. The TrueDepth camera system houses sophisticated cameras and sensors for new capabilities only possible with iPhone X.

Portrait Lighting.
For selfies with studio effects.
Inspired by extensive research into the art and science of portraiture, all-new Portrait Lighting uses sophisticated algorithms to calculate how your facial features interact with light. Then it uses that data to create stunning lighting effects.

Animoji.
A new way to get into character.
Admit it. You’ve always wanted to be a unicorn. Working with the A11 Bionic chip, the TrueDepth camera captures and analyses more than 50 different muscle movements, then mirrors your expressions in any of 12 different Animoji.

Clips.
Create videos that take you to new worlds.
Clips is a free app that lets you make fun, shareable videos with text, graphics, effects and more. Selfie Scenes on iPhone X make Clips even more fun, using the TrueDepth camera to place you in 360-degree animated landscapes, abstract art and even onboard the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

A11 Bionic
Can you create a chip that’s both powerful and intelligent? Meet A11 Bionic, the smartest and most powerful chip ever in a smartphone.

What a neural engine does.
The neural engine in the A11 Bionic chip is a dual-core design that recognises people, places and objects. It tears through machine learning tasks at up to 600 billion operations per second and is the driving force behind innovative new features like Face ID and Animoji.

Wireless Charging
How do you make an iPhone designed for a wireless world? By building on wireless technology like headphones and advanced networking to introduce easy wireless charging. The glass back, together with an efficient charging system, allows you to simply put down iPhone X to charge it up.
