As Apple celebrate their ten years in production of i-phone, the company has now unveiled its long-rumoured iPhone X which regarded to be their sleekiest and most durable ever smartphone.
Although, pronounced as 'iPhone ten', like the Roman numeral it represents, the device was launched alongside the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus during an event at the company's new "spaceship campus" in California.
Instead of the aluminium casing used in last year's iPhone 7, the new iPhone X has an all-glass enclosure.
This apparently is not the first appearance of glass-body phones in Apple range of devices as iPhone 4 and 4s had glass front and back panels, with a stainless steel band sandwiched between the two.
However, these phones were plagued by durability issues, with many customers claiming their phones cracked too easily when dropped .
Apple claims that the glass used in the iPhone X is the most durable glass to ever appear in a smartphone.
This ultra-strong glass could spell the end for smashed smartphone screens.

Along with a radical new edge-to-edge design, the iPhone X includes DOT Projector technology which allows device recognise users (even in the dark). Hence enables users to authenticate and unlock the handset with their face, as well as animated emojis called 'Animojis' that mirror the user's facial expressions.
Screen
The handset has a cutting-edge Super Retina OLED screen, measuring 5.8 inches diagonally across.
OLED displays are superior to the LCD panels currently used in Apple's iPhones because, rather than requiring a backlight, an OLED-based screen lights up individual pixels when necessary.
This translates to blacker blacks and brighter whites, lower power consumption and faster response times compared to LED displays.
As expected, the home button has been completely erased.
The large touch screen, combined with the new iOS 11 software, enables users to simply swipe up from the foot of the screen at any time to return to the Home screen.
Wireless Changing
The all-glass design of the iPhone X enables wireless charging and charging devices from Belkin and Mophie will be available.
Apple also gave a sneak preview of its AirPower charging pad, which can charge an iPhone, Watch and AirPods simultaneously.
iPhone X price and release date
Apple fans will have to wait slightly longer for the iPhone X. While the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are available for pre-order from 15 September, the iPhone X cannot be ordered until 27 October.
The flagship handset is due to ship on 3 November 2017.
The iPhone X will come with a steep price tag, starting at £1000 for the 64GB version and going up to £1,150 for the 256GB model.
