The first two phones, incremental upgrades over last year's iPhone 7, will be available in India from September 29, with prices starting at ₹64,000. The iPhone X will be available in India from November 3, with prices starting at ₹89,000. The iPhone X sports a unique FaceID facial recognition system to unlock the device -- just look at your phone to unlock it. Wearing a hat, glasses or new hairstyle can't fool the FaceID system that also works with Apple Pay. The iPhone X features wireless charging, an infrared camera and special hardware for facial recognition, which will replace the fingerprint sensor for unlocking the phone. The home button found on previous iPhones is also gone, and users will instead tap the device to wake it up. Also read click here. The screen on the iPhone X is about the size of the current iPhone 7 plus, though the phone itself is smaller. It features richer colours thanks to a new technology called OLED that other vendors such as Samsung are also rolling out. Schiller discusses the features of the new iPhone X.

(AP) Apple chief executive Tim Cook, speaking at the first event at the new campus theatre -- named after the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs -- said the latest flagship handset is a milestone for the company a decade after the first iPhone release. "Ten years later it is only fitting that we are here in this place, on this day to reveal a product that will set the path for technology for the next decade," Cook said, calling the iPhone X "the biggest leap forward since the original iPhone."

(REUTERS) Apple also showcased a charging mat called AirPower that charges iPhone, Watch and AirPods. The mat would be available from next year. The tech giant introduced iPhone 8 and 8 Plus (in Silver, Space Grey and Rose Gold colours) that house wireless charging technology with an improved retina displays. The iPhone 8 64GB will cost $699, while iPhone 8 Plus starts at $799 for 64GB. You can pre-order the devices from September 15 and the phones will be available from September 22. The iPhone 8 features a new 6-core A11 Bionic processor which is 70% faster than the previous A10. The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus -- both still have home button intact -- feature new sensors. According to Philip W Schiller, Apple's Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing, the iPhone 8 cameras and the A11 Bionic chip have been calibrated for Augmented Reality (AR). The company also introduced an upgraded Apple Watch, which can make phone calls and access the internet without the user carrying an iPhone. The number on your phone will be the same as your iPhone. The Series 3 model will also have Apple Music available through cellular service. "Now, you can go for a run with just your watch," said Jeff Williams, Apple's chief operating officer and in charge of Watch development. Apple is also adding more fitness features to the Watch, and says it is now the most used heartrate monitor in the world. Now, Apple Watch will notify users when it detects an elevated heart rate when they don't appear to be active. It'll also detect abnormal heart rhythms. The Series 3 will start at $399. One without cellular goes for $329, down from $369 for the comparable model now. The original Series 1, without GPS, sells for $249, down from $269. The new watch comes out September 22.

"With 50% year-on-year growth, Apple Watch is the number one watch brand in the world, eclipsing Rolex, with 97 per cent customer satisfaction," CEO Tim Cook announced. Cook also introduced the new Apple TV 4K, designed to deliver a stunning cinematic experience at home. With support for both 4K and High Dynamic Range (HDR), Apple TV 4K features sharp, crisp images.
