Should you buy an iPhone X now?
The iPhone X has an all-screen design that harnesses OLED technology to deliver rich colours.
The latest phone has Apple’s TrueDepth front-facing camera system which is used for facial recognition and enhanced augmented-reality features like Animoji and more accurate Snapchat lenses.
However Apple is rumoured to be planning the release of three new iPhone models at an event on September 12.
