When sales of iPhone 10 start. Review of iPhone X: design, colors, characteristics, prices, start of sales in Russia. Russia in the “first wave”

Summary topic on the start of iPhone X sales in Russia.

On November 3 at 8:00 Moscow time, official sales of the iPhone X began. Is there demand among Russians for such an expensive smartphone? Is it really true for a device costing over 80 thousand rubles? Are there huge queues? Where to buy iPhone X without queues? How to save up to 20 thousand rubles. when buying an Apple flagship? All these and other questions related to the start of iPhone X sales in Russia were answered in this material.

All the most important things from the start of iPhone X sales

Apple fans remain themselves. On November 1, two days before the start of sales, the first buyers took their places in line for the iPhone X at the re:Store on Tverskaya Street in Moscow.

By the morning of November 2, a line of more than 500 people had formed outside the store. This excitement is explained not only by the small number of iPhone X that arrived in Russia as part of the first batch, but also by the fact that this re:Store is the only store that will open exactly at 8 a.m. Moscow time on November 3 and will begin selling iPhone X. This is where those who want to buy an iPhone X will be able to do this before others.

Apple fans are very diehard. The queue for the iPhone at re:Store is formed in a live manner and those who want to purchase an iPhone X among the first need to be in front of the store at 6 am, when employees will begin handing out purchase coupons. In the best traditions of the Apple Store, the store on Tverskaya has folding seats on which, under several blankets, sit people who will become one of the first owners of the iPhone X in Russia.


On November 2 it was cold in Moscow, down to -3°C. But this did not stop persistent Apple fans.

A lot of outbids. Sharing the queue with real fans of Apple technology are also resellers, the so-called campers. They are mainly represented by students, who are in quite large numbers and are in front of the store waiting for the morning of November 3rd. The campers work professionally, replacing each other every few hours. We even managed to capture the announcement of the next such shift on video.

Modest start of sales. It is very noteworthy that in the case of the iPhone X, the leaders of re:Store did not decide to organize some kind of special platform for selling the smartphone. Most recently, at the end of September, re:Store launched sales in Russia on a large scale, having organized a site in GUM. Alas, there was not much demand for G8s. Apparently, the management of re:Store decided not to take risks again (after all, renting a place in GUM is expensive) and to launch the iPhone X sales more calmly. Looking at the queues for the latest Apple smartphone, one cannot help but note that in the case of the iPhone X, a specially designed sales platform would be most welcome.

So, is there a shortage everywhere? The interest of Apple fans in the iPhone X is enormous, even despite the high cost of the smartphone. However, iPhone X can be easily ordered for next day delivery in “ Svyaznoy" or " M Video“. And this is really possible, we were convinced on.

Russia in the “first wave”

Apple rarely launches sales of its new smartphones in Russia at the same time as other countries from the so-called first wave. However, iPhone X will come to Russia on the same day as in the USA, Japan, China, Canada and other countries where iPhones usually start selling the earliest. This will happen on November 3rd.

The full list of “first wave” countries is as follows:

Australia, Austria, US Virgin Islands, Andorra, Bahrain, Belgium, Bulgaria, UK, Hungary, Germany, Guernsey, Greenland, Greece, Denmark, Jersey, India, Ireland, Iceland, Spain, Italy, Canada, Qatar, Cyprus, China, Kuwait, Latvia, Lithuania, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Isle of Man, Malta, Mexico, Monaco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, UAE, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Russia, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, USA , Taiwan, Finland, France, Croatia, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Sweden, Estonia and Japan.

The list of countries in the “first wave” of iPhone X sales has been significantly expanded compared to the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. It includes 56 (!) countries. This suggests that Apple has a big bet on the iPhone X.

iPhone X is not enough for everyone

Apple's intention to start selling iPhone X in so many countries and problems with the production of OLED displays are the two main reasons why there will definitely be a shortage of iPhone X. And these are not analysts' guesses. Apple announced this itself, warning that only the most efficient would be able to buy the iPhone X.

Apple has made this warning official. In its latest press release, the company said:

Stock of iPhone X in stores will be limited and will go to customers who are among the first to arrive.

Interest in the iPhone X among Russian Apple fans is enormous. The first batch of smartphones with delivery on November 3 was sold out of pre-orders in less than five minutes. Just an hour after the start of pre-orders on October 27, the “Delivery date” column for the iPhone X with any memory capacity and in any color showed an unpleasant “5-6 weeks.”

There is a third reason why not everyone will be able to buy an iPhone X in November. Apple that the company underestimated the demand for its new smartphone. Apple did not expect that there would be so many people wanting to buy the iPhone X.

It is better to buy iPhone X from Apple partners in Russia

Delivery time for iPhone X is 5-6 weeks only in the Apple online store. Authorized Apple retailers in Russia have much better deadlines. We studied the offers of all leading Apple partners in Russia and came to the conclusion that it is easiest and most affordable to purchase iPhone X from them.

Fortunately, retailers are not jacking up prices and are offering pre-orders for the iPhone X (with delivery until November 11) at the following prices:

  • iPhone X 64 GB - RUB 79,990 .
  • iPhone X 256 GB - RUB 91,990 .

Where and how to buy iPhone X cheaper

Both Apple and its authorized retailers in Russia will maintain the prices announced above for the iPhone X for a long time. Apple, with the highest degree of probability, until next fall, and its partners at least until the New Year holidays. In other words, you won’t be able to buy a “white” iPhone X cheaper anytime soon.

But you can really save a lot of money by buying a “gray” iPhone X. Two to three weeks after the start of official iPhone X sales in Russia, smartphones purchased abroad will be imported into the country. According to the latest market analysis, such models will be sold for 10-15 thousand rubles. cheaper than the official price.

How much will the “gray” iPhone X cost in the first days of sales?

“Grey” iPhone X will become noticeably cheaper than “white” ones, but not immediately. In the first days (and maybe weeks), “gray” iPhone X will cost more than the official price due to shortages. According to one of the Moscow resellers, in early November, a “gray” iPhone X with a memory capacity of 64 GB will be available for 99,000 rubles, while the official price of this model is 79,990 rubles. The iPhone X version with 256 GB of memory will be sold for RUB 111,990. (official price – 91,990 rubles).

Apple recently presented its new creation to the public - a smartphone. iPhone X, which boasts facial recognition and impressive data.

This model also became Apple's most expensive smartphone.

The company decided to name the new model of its smartphone exactly X (it should be read not “X” but “ten”), since this Roman numeral symbolizes the 10th anniversary of the presentation of the very first iPhone, when Steve Jobs himself presented the world with a new smartphone.

Presentation of the new iPhone X smartphone


The presentation took place in the new theater, which was named after Steve Jobs. Apple Corporation is headquartered there in Cupertino, California.


In the hall, people showed great interest in new products from Apple (including an updated headset AirPods, Apple TV, New watch Apple Watch 3, as well as improved versions of last year's smartphones - iPhone 8 And iPhone 8 Plus), but there was no big ovation.


The new smartphone turned out to be much more progressive than Apple fans expected. In recent years, the company has been accused of being rather slow in introducing new technologies. For example, she decided to introduce wireless charging right now, although Samsung did this a couple of years ago.

It is also worth noting that without the now traditional Home button, the new iPhone X has become very similar to the new Samsung Galaxy Note. Although controlling gestures instead of the usual button may seem like an interesting solution to many.

Is this smartphone truly revolutionary? Let's figure it out.

iPhone X price


Price:

In the US, the junior iPhone X model will cost $999.

In Russia - 79,990 rubles.

Start of sales:

Sales of the new iPhone X will begin on November 3 in both the USA and Russia. Pre-orders in the US begin on October 27th.

iPhone X Specifications

Display

Apple decided to equip their device with an OLED display, although they previously avoided this. The choice fell on this display, as it is more compact and energy efficient.


* The screen occupies the entire front panel, except for a small island on top.

* Diagonal is 5.8 inches.

* Screen resolution 2436×1125 pixels (458 ppi).

* HDR support (Dolby Vision and HDR10 formats).

* For the first time, there is no physical Home button on the screen.

* There is a 3D Touch function (depending on how hard you press the screen, you can perform different actions).

* True Tone technology is present - now it’s more convenient to read from your phone, and your eyes get less tired. Also, the user’s eyes quickly adapt to the screen in the dark, which means there is less strain on them.

iPhone X face scanner

On the already mentioned island at the top of the screen you can find a speaker and many sensors and cameras that are part of the face scanning technology - FaceID.


* iPhone X has a new facial recognition feature. This means that the user will be able to unlock the smartphone after the device scans his face.

*According to the company, the face scanner will work even in the dark. This became possible thanks to an infrared scanner.

*Face ID technology is also used to confirm payments.


How else is FaceID technology used?

Improved front camera


The new selfie camera takes better self-portraits thanks to TrueDepth technology, which projects 30,000 points invisible to the human eye and then analyzes those points to create an accurate depth map of the face. The camera creates a bokeh effect on the background and a studio-like face lighting effect.

Creating Animoji


The camera can instantly analyze the movements of 50 different facial muscles, and based on the result, create animated emoticons, while adding your voice. Simply put, if you smiled, then the phone will create a smiling animated cat, dog or unicorn, if you made a sad face, then the animoji will be sad.

There are currently 12 animoji available, including cats, dogs, and the new rainbow unicorn, alien, and turd (yes, you can make the turd look sad or smile depending on your facial expression).

iPhone X case


* Oleophobic coating - it repels fats from the touch screen.

* The glass on both sides of the case is strengthened by 50%.

* The housing is protected from moisture and dust (IP67 standard).

The company called all these innovations in the body and screen Super Retina HD.

On September 12, as part of a special event held at Apple's new California headquarters, the long-awaited hero of the day was shown - the tenth "Apple" smartphone, which even before became the object of desire for an entire army of fans of Apple products around the world - iPhone X ( ")

In our review of the device, we traditionally refrain from making assessments and unambiguous conclusions, giving the reader the opportunity to form their own opinion on the list of technical characteristics and descriptions of the main innovations iPhone X. Despite the usual avalanche of pre-release rumors and leaks, Apple managed to keep some interesting nuances secret, which we will discuss below.

iPhone X design, colors and storage

As expected, iPhone X The structure of the case is reminiscent of the iPhone 4/4s design, which was very successful in its time. The form factor in the form of a sandwich of glass panels with a metal frame between them looks really stylish with the current dimensions of the smartphone, and the absence of a Home button and frames around the display emphasizes the “monoblock” effect.

By the way, the frame is made of surgical stainless steel alloy, modified by Apple engineers for greater strength and corrosion resistance. The color palette is narrowed to “silver” (white) and “space gray” (black).

iPhone X comes in two storage options - 64 GB and 256 GB.

Screen and sensors on the front panel of the iPhone X

Front Panel iPhone X almost entirely occupied by the “edge-to-edge” screen, with the exception of a small panel with sensors, a front camera and an earpiece at the top edge.

The display is made using the new Super Retina technology with an OLED-type matrix, which Phil Schiller called the first worthy of an apple flagship.

The display diagonal is 5.8 inches, resolution is 2436 × 1125 pixels, image density is 458 ppi.

There are Dolby Vision technologies, HDR 10 and the True Tone color optimization system tested on the iPad Pro.

The new 6-core Apple A11 microprocessor, manufactured using a 10nm technological process by TSMC, guarantees the user support and correct operation of all possible applications from the App Store for several years to come. 70% higher efficiency and 25% higher performance compared to the A10 chip (found in iPhone 7).

Separately, it is worth noting Apple's first proprietary 3-core graphics processor, which, coupled with updated Metal 2 technology, will allow you to run on iPhone X games with console level graphics. Engineers estimated the increase in efficiency compared to the Apple A10 Fusion at 30%, which is especially important for games and programs that use augmented reality technologies

Face ID facial recognition technology in iPhone X

The release of the iPhone 5s with a Touch ID sensor forced even manufacturers from the B-brand segment to introduce fingerprint sensors into their smartphones, and now engineers from Cupertino have raised the bar to a new height, beating out the iris scanner from Samsung and other developments in this area that are used in mass consumer devices.

New iPhone X can recognize its owner's face as soon as he looks at the screen. Moreover, the new sensor will work even faster than the fingerprint sensor, it will be much more difficult to deceive it (using a photo will not work), but glasses, a hat, hairstyle or beard, for example, will not become an obstacle to the new technology.

For all this in iPhone X a special dual-core processor is installed that processes data on the location of more than 30 thousand points projected onto the user’s face (TrueDepth technology).

Face ID recognizes the face of the iPhone X owner even in complete darkness.

In addition to identifying the owner of the device, Face ID can be used for secondary tasks, for example, creating, exactly repeating the movements of the user’s facial muscles (the technology works on the principle).

Unlike the iPhone 8 Plus, the lenses of the flagship smartphone are arranged vertically, and each of them is now equipped with an optical stabilization system. The matrix resolution has not changed - 12 megapixels, but the image processing speed has increased, a new color filter has been applied and the aperture has been slightly improved - f/2.4, f/1.8.

The front camera has been migrated from the previous flagship iPhone 7. Its resolution is 7 megapixels.

Main area of ​​employment: SMM manager

Reselling iPhones and any other rare things for Russia is money that falls from the sky. A lot of people are engaged in this kind of business - the demand for first-wave goods is too high. You don’t need to do anything, but you sold one phone and received approximately the average salary of a Muscovite.

There are many people who want to get a new iPhone; they are mostly bought by chicks from the center.

For people with a lot of money, it’s quite normal to pay 100-200 thousand for a phone. Although many more people simply call: “Is it really true that someone is buying a phone from you for 150 thousand?!” Naive.

I complete the transaction transparently and safely for both parties. I draw up a notarized purchase and sale agreement, most often I take money in advance. Then I buy a phone and bring it to Russia. I choose a random cafe, restaurant, or immediately make an appointment with a lawyer to have the contract certified.

I have already signed two contracts for the 256 GB iPhone X for 150 thousand rubles each and three contracts for the 64 GB version - they are 120 thousand each. The exact number of phones I will buy depends on orders. I will buy some iPhones with my own money, and some will be purchased in advance.

Ivan Morozov, 29 years old, St. Petersburg, now lives in Philadelphia

The main area of ​​employment is online sales

Now I am in the USA, in Philadelphia, and I have the capital to purchase a trial batch of new iPhones. Plus he invited his friends to invest on the terms of “profit in half.” I will buy and send phones to Russia, and they will sell them.

iPhone in Russia is an attribute of a beautiful life, girls are crazy about it. In the US it's just a good phone, they don't show off. When a new iPhone comes out, there are two or three first “golden” weeks. The difference between purchase and resale reaches 16 thousand rubles, if you do not set a particularly high price.

I'm going to buy phones in New York on the opening day of sales. Perhaps they will only sell one phone per person. So I’ll take some friends to stand in line.

In New York they advertise: “I’ll stand in line for you on iPhone release days.” They pay $100 a day.

I plan to buy up to 15 pieces, namely the iPhone X. The “Eight” did not impress me, besides, rich buyers only want new items. There will be no problems with implementation. I found buyers on Avito, plus I distributed the offer among VKontakte groups.

I will send some of the phones to Moscow and St. Petersburg with people who are flying there. I will send some by mail with insurance. A shipment is considered commercial only when you are carrying a lot of phones. And I will send to different addresses and avoid customs clearance of 30%.

It will be easiest to sell phones in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Krasnodar, and Yekaterinburg. In the villages, of course, no one will buy it.

My clients are people with money, this can be seen from their profiles on social networks. Everyone has cool cars, and a new iPhone is another attribute for them. 73 thousand rubles is not a lot of money for the rich.

My price will be average for the market. This way you can sell quickly and make money on turnover. I saw ads where iPhone X was being sold for one and a half million rubles, although sales had not yet started. This is a scam, it is unlikely that the seller is a leading Apple engineer who stole a couple of phones from production.

Igor, 20 years old, St. Petersburg

The main area of ​​employment is a student at St. Petersburg State Economic University

I come from a wealthy family and have never felt a difficult economic situation, but at 20 years old taking money from my parents is not for me. One of my friends lives with his mother, graduated from university and does not work anywhere. He only complains about his hard life because he sleeps in the corridor. His parents rent out his room, it’s more useful. My social circle is trying to move: someone organizes concerts, someone is engaged in “resell”, that is, resales, tutoring, cleaning, and is trying to create their own business.

For each phone sold, we earn 10 thousand rubles, which we divide in half.

We plan to bring 40 phones on September 23rd. The final figure, together with pre-orders for iPhone X, will be more than 100 phones. Wholesale stores from regions that are remote from Moscow and St. Petersburg contacted us. People are willing to fly by plane to pick up their iPhones.

By purchasing devices through us at a low cost, stores in the provinces can charge another 10-15 thousand for each phone.

Our buyer is a 35-year-old man. These are people who can afford to pre-order. Schoolchildren and students are afraid to give money in advance; they always feel there is a catch. The fear of losing your last savings is paramount.

We do not monitor competitors' price dynamics. We have the lowest price that no one can beat. We work at the expense of turnover, the rest set a wild price tag and lose. History has proven that mass production, like mass sales, is stronger than the expensive sale of the same product, especially when you are not an economist, and the product is not limited.

Elena, 26 years old

Main type of employment – ​​entrepreneur

The main countries from which iPhones are imported are Germany, Spain, Great Britain and, of course, America. If you bring phones in the first two or three days after the start of global sales, you can make good money. But according to the law of the Russian Federation, goods worth 10 thousand dollars are allowed to be imported duty-free. Anything above will be taxed at 30%. We import phones legally. Those who try to circumvent the law have too great a risk of being left without phones and without money.

Considering the hype, iPhone X in the first days of sales will cost at least 400 thousand rubles.

The upcoming New Year holidays will not allow the price to fall below 200 thousand even a month after the official start of sales. Even Apple does not hide the fact that [through official stores] it will not be able to fully satisfy the demand for new models.

The first owners of the iPhone X in Russia will be very wealthy people. Among our customers are employees of the banking sector, aged from 40 to 65 years, and many athletes. Well, there is the so-called “new golden youth”. There will also be people who will take out loans. But this is the last thing. You need to live within your means.

If they are now offering you an iPhone X for 80 thousand rubles, they are almost certainly scammers. The purchase price of one device is about 1,300 euros, plus the costs of round-trip flights and accommodation in another country during the start of sales. So consider it.

People are ready to pay dearly only until Friday evening, because sales in Europe start on the 22nd. On Saturday and Sunday, respectively, the prices are already different and you need to have time to sell all the goods on Friday, getting the maximum profit.

I buy all phones from authorized stores or distributors on the day sales start. I haven’t decided yet which specific country I’ll go to for new iPhones. You need to analyze prices to maximize your profit on resale.
