The iPhone X will run iOS 11 out of the box, and go on sale on November 3. Preorders will begin October 27.
The iPhone X's dual-camera camera system isn't too different from that on the iPhone 8 Plus, except for its vertical orientation.
Apple is only offering the iPhone X in two colors, silver and charcoal, or "space gray."
Regardless of the color on back, the iPhone X has a black front.
The back of the iPhone X is made out of glass. The metal band around its sides is made from stainless steel.
Apple says the iPhone X contains the strongest glass ever used in a smartphone. The device is also water resistant.
With the iPhone X, Apple almost completely removed the bezels around the screen, save for the notch at the top.
The notch area is jam-packed with sensors and other components, much of which are used for what Apple calls its "TrueDepth" camera. There's an infrared camera; a flood illuminator, which projects light onto an owner's face for the phone's Face ID facial recognition system; a proximity sensor; an ambient light sensor; a speaker; a microphone; a 7-megapixel standard camera; and an infrared dot projector, which is also used for Face ID.
