After a much anticipated wait Apple released two new iPhones (iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus )on September 12th and the iPhone x in November. The iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are an improvement on last year’s iPhone 7 in terms of their cameras and faster processing speed.
The iPhone x, the most pricey of the three items, comes with a $1,000 price tag and Apple is attempting to price it not just as a phone but, also as more of a futuristic item. The iPhone x comes with several interesting new features. It is the first iPhone to feature an OLED screen and the images of this high tech screen run across the entire phone from edge to edge!
In addition, the iPhone x has removed the home screen and replaced it with what Apple is referring to as a Face ID. The iPhone x Face ID will scan your face as a means of allowing you access to your iPhone. This replaces the previously existent and typical login method of entering a password.
With three high tech phones to choose from, we here at Burkley Case thought it best to break things down a little further so that you our clients can make the perfect selection. When purchasing your phone, please remember that we have high end cases for all three phones.
