New online video shows features of iPhone X before release

Since the revelations made at the recent Apple keynote address, the whole world has been waiting in excitement for the release of the latest and supposedly greatest iPhone yet. The iPhone X was among one of two new models announced by the tech giant and it has got the internet buzzing. Millions of people around the world will be queuing up on Friday 3 ^rd of November to get their hands on the brand new tech but what can users expect from the device. Recently released videos have shown footage of new features that look very promising.

Although the general specifications of the iPhone X were released after the keynote announcements, very little else has been said about the specifics of the new handset and how iOS11 will be adapted to work with the new physical features. Apple has done a very good job of keeping the specifics under wraps with strict rules set in place for all distributors but a recent video released online has given us a sneak peak of the app switching feature on the new iPhone X.

The biggest change made to the iPhone X in terms of design is the decision by Apple to implement an edge-to-edge screen and remove the iconic home button. The lack of a physical button has made many tech enthusiasts and app developers wonder how features and gestures within the new software will operate. The recently released online video shows the iPhone X’s new app switching feature which utilises a gesture and allows the user to seamlessly switch between apps by sliding their thumb from the bottom of the screen.

Although the video clip is very short and only shows the user switching between two apps, it provides an exciting glimpse into the new types of features that buyers can expect from the iPhone X. Due to the lack of a home button, it’s clear that Apple’s latest handset will rely heavily on new gestures that utilise the sleek iOS11 which runs on the new A11 Bionic chipset. This is a promising concept for app developers that are looking to add new dimensions to their products and game producers hoping to create new ways for players to interact with their device.

It will only be a matter of time before the internet and social media is flooded with pictures and videos highlighting the new features of the iPhone X but what we’ve seen so far paints a promising picture for users and tech developers everywhere.
