Comparing iPhone X and iPhone 7 Design: More Details

Here's a more detailed description of some of the key differences between the iPhone X and the iPhone 7:

1 Body Design

The iPhone X will feature a glass body with minimal amounts of metal. This is so that it can be compatible with wireless charging. The iPhone 7 features an aluminum chassis instead. In addition, the iPhone 7 has a Home button, which is something the iPhone X will lack. Instead, all of the iPhone X's buttons will be virtual.

2 Cameras

The iPhone X will feature better cameras than the iPhone 7. They will also be placed in a vertical configuration, while the iPhone 7 has cameras in a horizontal configuration. Also, the front-facing camera on the iPhone X will be capable of facial recognition, though that is more a function of the software than the hardware per se.

3 Face ID vs. Touch ID

The iPhone X will feature Face ID, which is facial recognition technology, instead of Touch ID to sign into your accounts. iPhone 7 does not employ this technology, and instead uses the Touch ID fingerprint scanner.

4 Battery Life

The iPhone X will most likely have several software features that will help it to greatly improve battery life over its predecessors. One of the biggest customer complaints about the iPhone 7 line was the relatively short battery life.

5 Wireless Charging

The iPhone 7 must be charged through its wired Lightning port. On the other hand, the iPhone X will be able to use wireless charging (though it will require an optional, separately sold accessory to do this) as well as wired charging through the Lightning port.

6 Display

The iPhone X features a sharp-looking OLED display. The iPhone 7 uses a traditional LCD screen. Also, the iPhone X's screen will take up a larger portion of its total size.

Conclusion

There are a few key differences between the iPhone 7 and the iPhone X. Which one you should choose depends on your needs and what you're willing to pay, of course. The iPhone X may end up being close to twice the price of an entry-level iPhone 7. Significantly, the iPhone 7 is available right now, but the iPhone X currently has no clear release date (though it will probably be in September of 2017).
