Apple announced three new iPhones last week: the iPhone 8, the iPhone 8 Plus, and the high-end iPhone X.
Those three phones start at $699, $799, and $999, respectively.
You might be thinking: Why would I pay at least $1,000 to own the iPhone X when the iPhone 8 comes with many of the same features and costs hundreds of dollars less?
This is all true — the iPhone 8 is certainly more affordable than the iPhone X — but you'd be missing out on some unique experiences if you chose the iPhone 8 over the iPhone X.
1. The iPhone X has a bigger screen.
The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus feature 4.7- and 5.5-inch displays, respectively. The iPhone X has a massive 5.8-inch display that nearly covers the entire face of the phone.
2. The display used in the iPhone X is also better than those on the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus.
The iPhone X is the first iPhone to feature an OLED screen, which can produce more accurate, sharper colors and deeper blacks. The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus have LCD screens like previous iPhones.
The iPhone X display can also support HDR, which is a much more noticeable visual difference compared with 4K. The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus displays do not support HDR.
3. The iPhone X has a faster, more secure way to unlock it.
One of the signature features of the iPhone X is Face ID: Since this is the first iPhone without a home button, your iPhone now uses cameras and sensors to detect your face — even in the dark — to unlock. Apple says it's more secure than Touch ID, the fingerprint system used to unlock the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus.
