Apple initially started out by offering its iPhone in a black finish, but later threw in white as one of the options. Over the years, we’ve seen Apple start to get more “creative” by introducing more color options, where at the moment there are five different finishes for users to choose from. In fact it has been rumored that there could be a new color option in the form of Blush Gold.

However it seems that as far as the iPhone X is concerned, regardless of color finish it looks like they will all sport black bezels. The iPhone X, for those unfamiliar, will be the 10th anniversary iPhone launched by Apple and will be the third model launched alongside the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus.

One of the rumored features is that it will sport a display with a bezel-less design (or at least as close to a bezel-less design as possible), which means that if the bezel were to sport a similar color to the back finish, it could be rather distracting and ruins the illusion. This is why KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has stated that all iPhone X models will have a black bezel regardless of the color of the phone itself.

This might not necessarily seem like a big deal, but assuming it is true/accurate, it is actually a pretty smart idea since it does help to create a rather cohesive look, but in any case we should find out for ourselves in a couple of days.

Facial scanning technology isn’t new, and we have seen it employed for use in Android devices in the past, although for the most part it seems that they can be bypassed easily using photos of the user. This has many wondering about Apple’s upcoming iPhone X, in which it is rumored that it will sport facial recognition in place of Touch ID.

For those curious about the feature, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has published a note to investors that was obtained by AppleInsider that details how the system will work. According to the note, the system will rely on four main components which includes a structured light transmitter, a structured light receiver, a front camera, and a time of flight/proximity sensor.

The light transmitter and receiver will be used to help collect depth information and is integrated with 2D image data taken with the front-facing camera. Together with the use of an algorithm, it will be combined to help create a 3D composite of the user’s face. Now you might have heard that one of the rumored features of the system is that it can apparently be used even when the phone is flat on the table, and according to Kuo, the facial recognition system has a hard cap estimated to be between 50-100 centimeters, so there is still a bit of leeway in terms of how close you have to be to the phone for it to work.

So far there have been claims that Apple’s facial recognition system will be somewhat revolutionary compared to existing systems. It is said to work in millionths of a second, and that the competition is still years away from being able to offer up something similar, but whether or not these claims are true remains to be seen.
