iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X: the data sheet
As we have said several times in the past, the expectations on the iPhone 7 have been somewhat unfulfilled. If you were expecting a revolution in terms of design, you definitely had to change your mind. This does not mean that Apple has churned out a worse device than the others, but simply that its famous innovation has suffered a brief setback.
The situation is very different this year, with two relatively "sober" iPhone 8s presenting few visible differences compared to the past and an iPhone X that is going to revolutionize those that are the usual dictates of Apple. But let's see together in detail what are the technical characteristics of the new iPhones.

Though CPU and GPU they are the same as the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus this is not where the focus is. The first detail that stands out is the display. This is a borderless unit with panel 5.8 inch OLED. All new technology used. Increase the resolution and the screen becomes Super Retina. Now we have a resolution of ben 2436 × 1125 with even 538 ppi.
From the point of view of security both theses were spot on, on board the iPhone X we find both Touch ID che Face ID. Both methods can be used freely, although the most innovative is clearly Face ID. This system uses a number of sensors, including infrared, which coordinated with the camera are able to map the face and recognize it in every situation, including darkness. Remains from 7 MP the front camera but also gains portrait mode, for higher quality selfies.
On board we also find the brand new bluetotth 5.0 and an even more performing battery. We don't know how many mAh, but the data reports an improvement of 2 hours of use compared to iPhone 7. Also in this case support is integrated wireless charging. Another novelty presented is the animoji. These are personalized emojis that, thanks to Face ID, will copy the expressiveness of your face. It is not yet clear if for the moment they will be usable only with iMessage.
