Like the iPhone 8, the iPhone X features an A11 Bionic chip and Qi wireless charging. It also supports Portrait Lighting using both the front and rear cameras.

? Have iPhones Actually Become More Expensive?
There’s no denying that smartphones are expensive—especially the iPhone. But if you look at iPhone over the years (and take inflation into account) the prices haven’t changed that drastically when you consider the many innovative features and raw power that each new generation adds.
What’s more is that now there is a wide variety of iPhones available and a number of different financing options. The most affordable device is the iPhone SE starting at $349 (or $14.54/month). And the most expensive iPhone is the 256GB iPhone X which retails for $1,149 (or $56.16/month).
In addition to multiple price points, iPhone comes in multiple screen sizes and colors. There are four screen sizes: 4″, 4.7″, 5.5″, and 5.8″. And seven colors: two different golds, rose gold, black, jet black, space gray, and silver. Capacities for the iPhone range from 32GB to 256GB.
Keeping all of that in mind, the iPhone can be a very expensive device; but it doesn’t have to be. Apple provides many iPhone options so you can find the device that’s right for your budget.
