iPhone X is the latest iteration of Apple Inc's flagship product. First released amidst a lot of speculation in June 29, 2007, the iPhone has changed a lot through the years. From a 3.5-in display with home button, it has grown in size and features. After ten years since its first release, the latest iPhone version - iPhone X- ditches the home button in favor of a 5.8 inches all-screen phone with pure gestures, sensors and software buttons as ways to interact with the phone. It was announced last September 12 and went on sale in the US and selected countries last November 3.

The official price per model of iPhone X in the Philippines is yet to be released but we can assume it will be around 55,000 to 60,000 Pesos for the 64GB model. This is just a guess based on its US price of $999 plus additional importation charges.
