1 New Color Options
The iPhone X comes in just one size, with two capacity options, and two colors (Silver or Space Gray). In other words there are four phones (not including carrier options). The iPhone 7 —on the other hand— was available in two physical sizes, three capacity options, and six colors (Silver, Black, Jet Black, Gold, Rose Gold, and Product RED). No matter how you spin it, 36 options is a lot more than 4.
A new gold option is rumored to be in the works, and seeing as the iPhone X design is expected for all sizes, we may see other colors from the iPhone 8 (like that stunning gold option) and previous lineups become available as well. Personally I’d like to see Jet Black make its way back. While the iPhone 7 variant scuffed easily, the new iPhone’s all-glass design is less susceptible to scratches.
? Final Thoughts
Apple is pretty good at keeping things under wraps, that being said it doesn’t sound like they have any unexpected iPhone changes coming down the pipe. For 2019, there are rumors we will see Apple Pencil support come to iPhone and in 2020 we may see foldable OLED tech make its way to iOS devices. There is also the possibility of Force Touch side buttons in the future.
Apple says Touch ID was never in the cards for the iPhone X, whether or not we see it embedded in future Apple devices is yet to be seen. Face ID has proven to be a reliable service, but there are times (such as waking up in the morning or direct sunlight) where it may fail. Consumer response may have an impact on what future improvements are made to Face ID, and whether or not Touch ID continues to live on in future products.
For now, it looks like Apple is working on improvements to existing features and to the overall experience that iOS offers users. What features and changes do you want to see to future iPhones? Let us know in the comments and on social media.
