and will adapt to your physical changes.

- iPhone recognizes me?

♪ (ragtime music) ♪

- (narrator) This is iPhone X.

- I can't wait to get my hands on this.

- I want one of those. - This is the iPhone X?

I thought we were on 8.

- (narrator) There's no home button.

- He got me when he said no home button.

- (narrator) A more responsive touch system.

- Wow.

- (narrator) Gestures in iOS 11 are more fluid.

- Okay. I like it.

- (narrator) The polished, stainless steel band

reinforces the water-resistant all-glass design.

- All glass? Really?

- (narrator) ...the most durable ever in a smartphone, enables,

for the first time, wireless charging.

- Oh!

- Oh, so you don't have to plug it in?

- (narrator) Now, a new true-depth camera system...

- Oh my gosh!

- (narrator) ...tiny space, uses extraordinary

depth-sensing technology to let you unlock your phone

with a glance. - Okay, now we're going sci-fi.

- (narrator) ...with a glance. - Wow. No! Not really.

- Oh, this is getting scary.

- (narrator) It maps the unique geometry of your face...

- Really? - ... (narrator) to the 30,000

invisible dots. - Scary, really.

- Oh, that's modern. For real.

- (narrator) Your iPhone now recognizes you.

- Well, I hope it does, 'cause it doesn't recognize

my thumbprint half the time.

- (narrator) ...now recognizes you even in the dark,

and will adapt to your physical changes.

- iPhone recognizes me? - They can identify me.

- This is 2001: A Space Oddyssey. (chuckles)

- (narrator) The true depth camera also enables new experiences,

like bringing emojis to life. - (gasps) Oh, I would love that.

- (narrator) ...50 face muscles

in real time. - That's cool.

- (narrator) So you can be happy... - Do we need this?

- (narrator) ...or cross. - I don't know you need that

on your phone, but it looks like fun.

- (narrator) The camera we use every day now delivers so much more.

- Ha. This is really cool.

- If I get one, I get a dinosaur, too?

- I wish I could afford this phone.

- (narrator) It will redefine what's possible.

- Wow. - (narrator) This is iPhone X.

- Great. I'll buy one immediately. - I liked all the camera stuff

and all that, but I don't like that facial recognition.

- I don't know if I need my phone to recognize me. (chuckles)

This a little too much. - (FBE) So that was a trailer

for the new iPhone X recently announced by Apple.

- I read about it in the paper today.

- (FBE) Apple recently announced that they have two new phones

coming out, they have the iPhone 8 and they have the iPhone X...

- They're just skipping the 9. - (FBE) ...which is being released

on the 10th anniversary of the first iPhone coming out.

- Oh. - It's only 10 years?

Boy, it seems like we've had 'em all our lives.

- I remember standing in line for that way back then.

- 10 years is all it's been around. Wow.

It's such a part of our lives.

- (FBE) Apple recently held an event where they kind of talked

about all of the different specs that the new iPhones will have,

so we're gonna show you a clip of some of those now.

- Okay. - It's amazing. Just amazing. Okay.

- (Phil) I am so excited to tell you all about the new iPhone 8,

and the new iPhone 8 Plus.

It has glass in both the front and the back.

- Glass on front and back. - It's a breakable glass, though.

- So I wanna show you some of the work that developers

are starting to do with AR apps on iPhone 8.

Here's one example. It's a game, Warhammer 40K Freeblade

from Pixel Toys. - Wow.

- (Phil) ...can now use their photo mode

to bring the Freeblade knight

into the new world... - Oh my gosh. That's amazing.

- More distractions.

- (Phil) They're enhancing the At Bat app with ARKit

so that when you're at the game you can hold up your iPhone

And see real-time player information and stats.

- Okay, that's cool. - Sports. Now you're talking to me.

- That's really cool, especially for football games.

- (Phil) And now, with iPhone 8, with its glass back...

- I don't know about the glass back.

- (Phil) We're enabling the freedom of wireless charging.

- It's unbelievable.

- (Phil) And the price will be $699. - Oh! $699?

- Aw, 600. Too much for me.

- Looks great, but you know what?

I'd have to learn something all over again.

I'm just-- (chuckles) I'm so comfortable with my 6.

- (Tim) This is iPhone X.

It is the biggest leap forward since the original iPhone.

- And it seems like it's bigger, too.

- (Phil) The iPhone X, your iPhone is locked

until you look at it, and it recognizes you.

- (laughs) That is too much.

- (Phil) ...natural and effortless. - Nah, it's... nah.

- (Phil) ...face ID. - It's really cool, man.

- (Phil) The face ID learns your face.

Even if you change your hairstyle... - Really?

- (Phil) ...you decide to put on glasses.

- Oh, okay.

- (Phil) ...you're wearing a hat. - So it doesn't have to be exact.

- (Phil) Face ID learns your face. - Wow.

- (Phil) ...learns who you are. - That's quite amazing.

- (Phil) Our team created something called Animoji.

These are animated emojis. - I wish I could download that

onto my phone. I would love that!

- (Phil) These are emojis that you control with your face.

- Huh. - (panda) You said,

literally, "Where are you?" - Aww.

- Ha, I like that. (chuckles) Oh, I could have fun with that.

- (Phil) It'll be priced from 999. - 999?!

- A thousand bucks for a little flat thing of phone.

- Just think, you're carrying a thousand-dollar piece of equipment

on you at all times. - It's astounding.

I just don't like the facial recognition thing.

I just-- it creeps me out. - I'm excited, man,

because I'm a traveler. I'm always going somewhere.

I don't have to lug this computer with me.

I got a computer here with this iPhone.

Computer is like the stage coach. Gone.

- (FBE) Before we dive in more, since the new phones were announced,

there's been a lot of jokes made about them online,

so we're gonna show you what some people had to say.

- Oh, good. - Oh, I can imagine.

Let's go for it here, huh.

- (laughs) Every time I pick up my iPhone X,

I have to rip my face off. That's funny.

- He rips his face off? (laughs)

- Can somebody put on a fake mask and be recognized as that person?

- "Me: Let's get the iPhone 8, iPhone X. Bank account..." (laughs)

- (laughs) Oh, it's about how I feel.

- They're too damn expensive. - That is a little expensive,

but this technology that you're getting...

- You can use this for so many things now.

If you do all your banking, and you-- I mean,

basically a computer.

- If somebody wants that phone, brother, they're gonna get it.

- "Me after I sliced my man's face off,

so I can unlock his iPhone X." (chuckles)

- (laughs) It's getting really weird.

- That's funny, 'cause I can never remember my husband's numbers,

and I'm going, "Give me your phone! I want it! Na na!

Let me answer! Let me get in your phone!

I just wanna call the kids!"

- "iPhone 8: no headphones. iPhone X: no home button.

iPhone 12: no camera. iPhone 14: no battery.

iPhone 16: no phone." (chuckles) And that'll be $3,000.

- I believe that we will have implants.

I truly-- why couldn't it be?

I mean, so this person may know something.

- Cute. (chuckles)

Some people have nothing better to do, really. (laughs)

- Apple, they're a target. They make zillions of dollars.

Everything they put out just about as successful.

I mean, it is incredible.

And I need a new phone, and I don't wanna upgrade for $700.

- (FBE) So the iPhone has completely revolutionized smartphones

over the years as it was one of the first smartphones

to utilize the touchscreen, video chatting,

and many other innovations that have since become industry standards.

So do you have a smartphone yourself?

- Yes. I'm lost if I leave without it,

if I go anywhere without it. - I got two of 'em.

I love 'em. They make life much easier.

- I do. It's become a necessity, just, like, your third hand.

- I have an Android, and I want this one, the X!

- My husband talked me into it. (laughs)

I was perfectly happy with my little phone.

I'm happy that I have it now.

- Just about any line of work you're in,

you have to have access to the internet on your phone.

You know, you can't wait till you get to a computer most of the time.

- I do have a smartphone. It took me a long time to get one.

I didn't give in until I had a couple of friends

who looked at my flip phone and just laughed.

I don't know how I lived without one for so long.

- (FBE) So as you saw, when Apple made this announcement,

they did so during a two-hour livestream,

which they broadcast across multiple platforms.

And many people actually tune in live

or watch the full recap of the event.

- Are these the ones that then ran down to the store

to get in line five days ahead?

- (FBE) So when you were younger, did you ever get this excited

about new technology, that you would actually sit down

and watch an announcement video when a new piece of tech came out?

- No.

We didn't have all this technology when I was younger.

- No, I wouldn't have. It would be boring to me.

Two hours of anything, and I either got to go

to the bathroom or go to sleep.

- Major appliances. You know, they used to have refrigerator ads

and things like that. As far as having a show, a live show, no.

The only live shows were telethons.

- My father was a Xerox copy machine salesman,

and they had events when they unleashed sorters.

So I think that's always happened.

It happens with cars. It happens with car shows.

It happens with... so I think it's normal.

- They used to when cars came out, when new cars--

when I was a young kid, and if they had any kind

of new technology, it would be almost like a video reel,

but not like it's newsworthy, like this is, you know?

And that's what's brilliant.

That's all part of the brilliance of Apple.

- (FBE) Finally, the iPhone 8 will be released on September 22nd\,

and the X will be released on November 3rd.

Will you be buying one?

- No. Oh yeah. I'm in line already, man.

- I will not be buying either of them.

- I won't buy it till I need to. (ding)

I have a great phone.

- No, I still have time left on my contract. (chuckles)

- I would definitely be interested

in buying that phone. (ding)

Not that I need it.

- I'd be interested in getting the X,

but maybe not in the first wave, (ding)

because often they have things wrong with them.

I probably would wait a little bit, maybe a year or so.

- I'm overdue for an iUpgrade. (ding)

But boy, that's a lot of money.

- No, because (chuckles) I'm perfectly happy

with what I have. By the time the 13 comes out, (laughs)

I will have the X.
