Tech: The iPhone X is smaller than the iPhone 8 Plus, but it has the largest iPhone screen Apple has ever made (AAPL)

null

The iPhone X has the biggest iPhone screen you can buy.

  • The iPhone model with the largest screen is the iPhone X, which has a 5.8-inch screen measured on the diagonal.
  • But despite its larger screen, the iPhone X is smaller overall than the iPhone 8 Plus.


Should you buy an iPhone X?

It's a tricky question if you're in the market — the iPhone X is pricey, starting at $999, and Apple's other phones like the iPhone 8 are just as fast.

But there's one big reason the iPhone X may make Apple's other iPhones seem old and outdated: its screen.

The iPhone X actually features Apple's biggest phone display, measuring 5.8 inches on the diagonal, which is even bigger than the display on Apple's largest iPhone, the iPhone 8 Plus, which measures 5.5 inches.

It turns out that the iPhone X has the largest iPhone screen that Apple has ever made.

But because the iPhone X's design stretches the display nearly corner to corner — except for the sensor housing at the top — the overall size of the iPhone X is smaller than that the iPhone 8 Plus. It's closer in size to the iPhone 8.

Here's the iPhone X matched up against the iPhone 8 Plus, which is much larger despite its smaller screen:

Of course, Apple will also point out that the iPhone X screen uses a new technology for iPhones, OLED, instead of the LCD screens that other iPhones use. The iPhone X screen also has a higher resolution than the iPhone 8 Plus', which helps make details look sharper when viewed close-up.

In a few minutes playing around with an iPhone X, I found the screen bright and colorful. It looked like a better screen than my iPhone 7. It's a nice screen.

It's also the biggest iPhone screen you can buy.

EFCC insists on presentation of Grace Tiaga's death certificate in P&ID case

Tiaga's counsel communicated the unavailability of the death certificate, requesting additional time. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is steadfast in its demand for the death certificate of the late Grace Tiaga, a former director of legal services at the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, to be submitted in court. Tiaga faced charges brought by the EFCC, alleging her involvement in receiving payments from Process & Industrial Development (P&ID) to manipulate the 20-year gas supply and processing agreement (GSPA) against Nigeria. The EFCC claims that these illicit payments were made through her daughter and persisted even after her retirement. The accusations extend to Tiaga's purported failure to adhere to due process while providing legal counsel on the GSPA. Initially facing eight counts of fraud, she was remanded to Suleja prison in 2019, later granted bail, and the charges were expanded to 13 counts. As the trial progressed, the prosecution p...
