Two day ago, Apple launched their first bezel less phone, the iPhone X, at their annual event. Even though, Apple also announced the launch of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus at the same event, but, iPhone X was the center of everyone’s attention for its unique design.
All the fresh iPhones come with a brand new A11 bionic processor. The iPhone X has an upgraded camera, and is also equipped with Facial Recognition instead of Touch ID. The new sleek device will operate on iOS 11, which also has some really cool new features.
But, with all that said, there is another upgrade Apple brought to the iPhone X; its price. The iPhone X is going to cost you a whooping $999. This seems to be too high a price to pay for a bezel less phone, when you have Android phones with that feature in half the price.
In case you were planning on buying the iPhone X for its bezel less screen, but experienced a halt in your plans due to its price; here are some alternatives:
Dooge Mix
