In 2007, Apple turned the idea of what a modern phone should be like. Ten years later, Apple approached the anniversary of the iPhone with all seriousness, so a bag of technical innovations was dumped on the public, some of which later became the standard for the smartphone market.

First of all, we will talk about the famous bangs-neckline-monobrow, which imitators from the Middle Kingdom sculpted on every second smartphone. Aside from the cosmetic effect, there is no benefit from this, because the TrueDepth camera in the iPhone X is not just a camera, but a complex of two cameras and a pair of infrared illuminators, which works on a similar principle to Microsoft Kinect.

On the first interaction, TrueDepth creates a 3D model of the user's face and then uses its ID for all sensors. The system is able to distinguish a real person from a photograph and adapts to the changing face of the user. Wearing a headdress, strong make-up or a new hairstyle does not affect the quality of recognition.


And although the year of birth of the iPhone X is 2017, it has not lost its relevance to this day. Judge for yourself, the Super Retina display is still impressive in terms of colour reproduction, and support for HDR content and high pixel density puts it on a par with the displays of the iPhone 12. The power of the Apple A11 processor is enough for most people who do not want to turn a smartphone into a computer. The camera is still good. Although it uses two modules, 101 points in the dxomark camera phone rating look good even by the standards of 2021. Especially if the camera is needed for Instagram, and not to replace a DSLR.

Like its progressive counterparts, the iPhone X is not afraid of water, is equipped with stereo speakers, fast / wireless charging, modern communication modules and an NFC. Given the gradual decline in prices, it becomes clear why the anniversary "ten" is still in demand among Apple fans.
