Top 5 Hidden features on your iPhone X

Here are the top 5 features of the new Apple iPhone X

The eagerly awaited iPhone X went on sale Friday,, and Apple fans over the world clamored to get their hands on the 10th anniversary version iPhone. This comes a day after Apple released its strong fourth-quarter earnings, beating Wall Street expectations partly on sales of the new iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.

Apple iPhone X best price in India is Rs. 89000 updated on 8 November 2017 and includes new facial recognition technology, a larger screen and improved camera features and capabilities. While the price tag may be steep, long lines at Apple retail stores indicate large demand for the iPhone X.
Gadgets4Life takes a quick look at the top 5 features of the Apple iPhone X. Here are some of the new changes and hidden features you can play around with if you get your hands on the expensive new device.

5. The new flashlight shortcut:

Apple is taking advantage of additional space on the edge-to-edge screen to include a default flashlight shortcut on the bottom left of the display — simply like the well-known camera alternate route on the base right. If you press and hold for a moment on the flashlight icon it will turn on and it feels like you’re pressing an actual button.

4. Intuitive Gestures

Familiar gestures make navigation natural and intuitive. Instead of pressing a button, a single swipe takes you home from anywhere.
To create a continuous surface—with nothing to get in the way of your experience—the Home button has been replaced with new yet familiar ways to navigate. To begin, raise your iPhone and look toward it to unlock with Face ID. Or if it’s on a table or other flat surface, you can raise or tap to wake it.

3. Record your screen

If you want an easy way to record a video of your iPhone’s screen you can quickly add the button to the control centre.
To do this go to Settings > Control Centre > Customise Controls and add Screen Recording. Once you hit the Screen Recording button, it will count down from three seconds before it begins recording your device’s display. To finish, hit the red button that appears in the top left of the screen and it will stop and automatically save to your videos in the photo app.

2. Use Face ID - A revolution in recognition.

Your face is now your password. Face ID is a secure and private new way to unlock and authenticate. Face ID is enabled by the TrueDepth camera and is simple to set up. It projects and analyzes more than 30,000 invisible dots to create a precise depth map of your face.

With Face ID, iPhone X unlocks only when you’re looking at it. It’s also designed to protect against spoofing by photos and masks. Your Face ID information is encrypted and protected by the Secure Enclave. And it’s private — your data doesn’t leave your device and is never backed up to iCloud or anywhere else.
Face ID uses advanced machine learning to recognise changes in your appearance. Wear a hat. Grow a beard. Put on glasses. You can even use Face ID with many types of sunglasses. So even if your friends don’t recognize you, Face ID will.

1. Animoji

The TrueDepth camera analyses more than 50 different muscle movements to mirror your expressions in 12 Animoji. Reveal your inner panda, pig or robot.

Working with the A11 Bionic chip, the TrueDepth camera captures and analyses more than 50 different muscle movements, then mirrors your expressions in any of 12 different Animoji. Animoji include your voice and you can share your videos within Messages.

Where to find it?

To begin using animojis, open the Messages app and select the iMessage app icon. Next to the App Store icon will be the animoji app icon. Select it.
A few seconds later, you will be face to face with your very first Animoji. Hold your iPhone X in front of your face and begin moving your eyebrows, smiling, frowning or blinking to get a feel for how well the animoji mimics your movement.

With the app minimized to the bottom half of the screen, switch characters by scrolling through the list. Or you can tap on the arrow just above the current animoji to view a grid of characters and use the app in what amounts to a full-screen mode.
