Apple Released the iPhone X Nine Years Ago Today

Apple's iPhone X went on sale nine years ago today, November 3, 2017. The 10th-anniversary iPhone was the first with an all-screen OLED display and no Home button, and its gesture navigation and Face ID authentication shaped the flagship iPhone models that followed it. Announced on September 12, 2017, the iPhone X used its TrueDepth camera to introduce Face ID, which replaced Touch ID on the device. Powered by the A11 Bionic chip, it was also Apple's first iPhone to start at $999. Apple classified the device as vintage in 2024. Recently, Touch ID made an unlikely return to iPhones with the iPhone Duo. Apple is expected to introduce a redesigned 20th-anniversary iPhone in late 2027.
