FCC’s approval of three iPhone X models means that Apple can now expunge the footnote. So far, the production of this flagship smartphone is going smoothly with some glitches in the production ofĀ the TrueDepth camera which is used for facial recognition and this has reduced iPhone X production yield rate to below 10%. This implies that we might not have a sizeableĀ number of iPhone X this year and even into the early parts of 2018.
This smartphone features a bezel-lessĀ edge-to-edge display with OLED screen and it supports wireless charging. Though the premium hardware of this smartphone comes at a cost ($999 forĀ 64GB andĀ $1,149 for 256GB) many believe that Apple already has a very strong user base and this smartphone will get much attention irrespective of its price.
