iPhone X: everything we think we know about the new Apple smartphone

The iPhone X is expected to be announced on Tuesday – but the company's usual code of secrecy has broken down, meaning we already know a lot about the device. With its junking of the home button it represents the biggest change to the design of Apple's pivotal smartphone in years. A leak of the final version of Apple's upcoming software for iPhones and iPads, iOS 11, occurred over the weekend, revealing that the crucial new smartphone will be called the iPhone X, and will probably launch alongside two new versions of Apple's current iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, renamed the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. The iOS 11 leak, dug through for details of new iPhones by developers Steve Troughton-Smith and Guilherme Rambo among others, also revealed several key details of the next iPhone. We can expect the iPhone X to have 3GB of RAM, the same amount of memory as the current iPhone 7 Plus.
