The highly anticipated new iPhone X is finally here with a $1,000 price tag. According to a recent USA Today article, early adopters can pre-order the new phone starting Oct. 27 and will have to wait until Nov. 3 to have the 5.8-inch OLED display with glass front and back in their hands.

The home button was removed by Apple from this iPhone and was replaced by Face ID—a secure way to unlock your phone so that any other person only has a 1 in 1 million chance of unlocking it. Users will be able to use Face ID to purchase with Apple Pay or create animated emojis. They will also have to break the habit from using the home button and swipe up from the bottom of the display to open their screen and navigate from various apps.

An improved camera, battery and wireless charging capabilities are also of note in the new iPhone. The new charging capability will, of course, come with a new accessory from Apple called AirPower that will allow you to charge an iPhone, Apple Watch Series 2 and Apple AirPods all at the same time.
