Which one is best for you?
If you’re looking for a great iPhone but don’t want to pay a premium for the latest model, then iPhone 6s has plenty going for it. A 12-megapixel camera, 3D touch capability and fingerprint recognition, just for starters.
On the other hand, iPhone X, with its sleek new design, boasts a number of revolutionary new features that put it clearly ahead in technology. Its 5.8-inch screen is larger than any previous model’s and it has curved edges that blend into the smooth glass back. Apple have dropped the home button, so more of the front can be used for the screen, but there’s also a bite-sized chunk taken out of the top, to accommodate front-facing 3D sensors.
The new 3D sensors featured on iPhone X will make face recognition more accurate, so you can unlock your phone simply by looking into the front facing camera. Plus, you’ll be able to create stunning selfies, and even map your own expression onto the new 3D ‘animojis’.
iPhone X features the new A11 chip which can actually learn as it gathers information, so Face ID can adapt to changes in your appearance over time.
And, as well as the new screen technology and 3D recognition, iPhone X pushes ahead with a wireless charging system that’s compatible with the QI wireless chargers already found in hotels and airports around the world – so no more searching for a free socket when you’re travelling.
If you’re looking for a stylish phone with Apple’s easy to use operating system, iPhone 6s has plenty to offer. But if you want to take advantage of revolutionary new features such as 3D mapping and wireless charging, iPhone X is for you.
