The iPhone X might just be too eXtra

We have all been waiting for the next amazing, new creation from Apple and it is finally here, but did Apple really amaze us or overwhelm us? The brand new iPhone X is one of the newest phones out right now, as it was unveiled on September 12. This brand new phone is coming with more advancements than any iPhone so far. The most controversial issue with these advancements is the new screen size. Instead of having a home button, the phone is made with a full screen and a glass back. The camera for this phone is sideways along the phone instead of against the top. While the quality of this camera is drastically improving, the storage is staying the same. One of the last, most overwhelming, yet amazing advancement by Apple is the new facial recognition, replacing fingerprint reading. This allows you to pay for things using facial recognition and also does not play loud alerts or sounds when it knows you are looking at the screen. Some say this could be too easily hacked into, but according to Andy Greenberg’s initial dive into the security of face I.D., it is created to be safer and more secure than with a fingerprint, and also aids in many different activities when using the new iPhone.
