5 things about iPhone X

The iPhone X went from a much-rumored tech myth to a real, officially announced product. Apple's SVP of marketing Phil Schiller was back out to tell us all the new features, from the edge-to-edge "Super Retina" display to wireless charging to the oh-man-it's-as-much-as-a-MacBook-Air $999 starting price.

Here are few things you need to know about the iPhone X

1) It supports fast charging- The iPhone X (and the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus) will be the first iPhones to support fast charging 

2) Galileo support-- The iPhone has had built-in support for the U.S. military-created GPS network for a long time, and it added support for Glonass, Russia's version of a satellite positional system.

3) The screen isn't as bright as the Galaxy Note 8's. - the iPhone X screen maxes out at 625 nits while the Note 8's 1,240 nits.

4) The selfie camera hasn't improved- iPhone X's TrueDepth camera system and its ability to recognize faces for unlocking your phone securely and letting you animate your face with poop emojis, the actually specs are exactly the same as the iPhone 7's. 

5)  It supports HEIF and HEVC format- The new iPhones both support the new HEIF (high efficiency image format) and HEVC (high efficiency video compression) formats.
