iPhone X to become available in Oman in early November

The new Apple Watch for the first time will be able to make calls and access the internet without the customer carrying an iPhone—a major upgrade that one analyst predicted would more than double watch sales.

The iPhone X has wireless charging, an infrared camera and hardware for facial recognition, which replaces the fingerprint sensor for unlocking the phone. The home button is also gone, and users instead tap the device to wake it up. The screen on the iPhone X is about the size of the current iPhone 7 plus, though the phone is smaller.

It features richer colours thanks to a new screen technology called OLED that other vendors are also rolling out.

The cheapest of the iPhone 8 models have 64 gigabytes of memory, up from 32 gigabytes in previous models.
