The iPhone X in context

So, there is another line of iPhones out – big deal? The iPhone 8, 8 Plus, and the X. The iPhone X – or, for people without knowledge of Roman numerals, the one-phone-ten – has a brighter and more advanced screen, can recognise you through 30,000 facial features, and has a number of other improvements over the previous versions. It is not cheap, which has resulted in the collective Internet imagination going in hyper-drive with commenters on Twitter sarcastically suggesting they will be selling a kidney as payment.
