First off, it's pronounced "iPhone 10." Now that that's out of the way, here are the specs for Apple's new top-of-the-line device.
The body
- Edge-to-edge display
- Glass on front and back (same as iPhone 8)
- Water and dust resistant
- Comes in space gray and silver finishes

.
No more home button
- Raise the phone or tap on any part of the screen to "wake up" the device, swipe up from bottom to go to home screen
- Rather than pressing the home button, the phone unlocks by recognizing your face using the TrueDepth Camera System (infrared camera, floor illuminator, dot projector and front camera).
- It works night and day, and learns your face over time so it cannot be duped by a photo or mask. Every time you glance at iPhone X it detects your face, takes an image, and checks it against a photo you took earlier.
- When you take the initial ID photo, you move your head around so Face ID recognizes you from different angles. All processing is done on iPhone X and not sent to server to protect face data.
- Face ID works with apps that use Touch ID, and can be used to verify payments.

- Larger and faster sensor
- Quad-LED true tone flash
