Yes, you’ll have to wait a bit longer for it to come out. And yes, it’s as expected to be extremely limited since its short supply of new Samsung-made OLED screen. However Apple assured that it will all worth the long wait.
For you who live in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, or Qatar, you will be able to get pre order at the same time of October 27, but the handset will be able to be unboxed on November 4.

Not only that iPhone X is actually a jumping price from any other iPhone ever known, you also need to take the various models, storage sizes, and the sales tax in the US into account. This is an unfortunate that there’s no option in between, if we’re expecting a 128GB iPhone.
It doesn’t cost much compare to a 4.7-inch screen of iPhone 8, which is one-inch smaller with basic specs boost, wireless charging, and the quite similar glass design, to put the iPhone X price into perspective. iPhone X will cost extra $300 for you who live in the US, but no worries, it’s only $3 additional each week after the course of 24 months.
Well, let’s just put it this way, high quality comes with the high price.

iPhone X Design
iPhone X appears to be bigger than the previous one for it’ll have more expansive screen in 5.8-inch (edge to edge), and yet smaller in size compare to plus-sized iPhone. It also feels lighter for it weights a lighter 6,14 ounces (174 grams) too, since iPhone X dimensions give you shorter height of 5.65 inches (143.6mm) and smaller width of 2.79 inches (70.9mm). It makes iPhone X will be easier to hold in one hand.
Just like the last iPhone, iPhone X is waterproof of IP 67 in rating, it means the device can be 1m (3.3 feet) under water for 30 minutes according to Apple’s test. Unlike any other iPhone, it’ll appear elegantly made of glass front and back.
Unfortunately, the only two options available for the colors will be Space Gray and Silver.

iPhone X Specs
Here comes the most sophisticated chipset of iPhone X called ‘A11 Bionic’ of Apple along with its six-core processor powering the latest 3D games and AR technology.
What am I talking about? It’s the six-core of iPhone X, my dear brother and sister all over the world, it has four efficiency cores which double the two efficiency cores on the previous iPhone set of iPhone 7 plus. It amazingly translates into 70% faster CPU efficiency cores. Say what?! Yup, and what about the other two cores? They appear as the high-performance cores, 25% faster and it makes iPhone X can even use all six at the same time for a turbo boost.
Adding the surprise after surprises, we won’t know the RAM for sure until the iPhone X package is being unboxed since Apple doesn’t reveal its RAM specs. However an agency has assumed it for having 3GB of RAM, the same as iPhone plus has.
Well, be the first lining up, people.
