Apple has announced the all new iPhone X, pronounced as iPhone 10. The iPhone X has a variety of unique features and capabilities and is being pitched as the future of the iPhone. iPhone X features a redesigned enclosure with stainless steel sides and glass on the front and back, as well as a larger screen that spans nearly the entire front face of the iPhone.

The larger 256GB iPhone X model will be priced at $1150.
