The two biggest questions for me, focus on the most daring design changes iPhone X, throw home button.

iPhone X may be the most powerful iPhone ever, but compared to almost any other Android flagship, it's hard to choose which category this phone leads - at least on paper when comparing raw specs. 

But if Apple has shown one thing many times in every iPhone generation, it is simply an optimization of hardware and software - if not more.

The new iPhone X design - a 5.8 inch edge-to-edge display - has raised hopes that it could reverse Apple's fortune in China, as sales there have fallen six consecutive quarters.  

Chinese consumers are more concerned with the appearance of mobile phones than consumers in other markets, and Apple still maintains the same look for three years.

In some cases, criminal suspects in the United States may request the protection of the Fifth Amendment by refusing to submit their phone access codes. 

The same protection does not apply to your face.
