With the iPhone X now in the hands of Apple customers worldwide, Apple today uploaded a new iPhone X Guided Tour video to its YouTube channel, which is designed to provide an overview of all the new features in the iPhone X.

The four minute video covers a wide range of topics, including Face ID, Animoji, Apple Pay, and the list of new gestures that are needed to navigate through the iOS 11 interface on the new device.


Apple has used Guided Tours to help users adjust to new devices for years. When the iPad launched in 2010, Apple debuted several iPad Guided Tours, and Guided Tours were also used to walk users through the new features available on the Apple Watch when it launched in 2015. There were even Guided Tours for the original iPhone in 2007.

Guided Tours for the iPhone haven't been used for several years now, but because the iPhone X is such a radical departure from previous iPhones, there's a lot to get used to. The interface is entirely different because there's no Home button, and Face ID is also an adjustment for those used to Touch ID.

Do you have to double click the side for apple pay? My current iPhone i just have to get it near the NFC reader and then put my fingerprint in.
 
When you buy an app in the App Store, is there still a 'confirmation' step after pressing the BUY button?

Currently, you have a pause to confirm the purchase, as you have to place your finger on TouchID (or type in appleID password).
With FaceID automatically unlocking, will a BUY click now be a committed purchase? Or is there a confirmation step?

They just cant stop hiding more and more things behind obscure gestures...it's getting bad, i am dreading the support issues from friends who arent technically inclined.

Do you get feedback when swiping on the new home button thing? I will really miss the clickyness.

Initially, I think you're right. However, it'll become second nature to those less technically inclined as did the pinch to zoom gesture.
 
I found it weird that the person talking and the hand model were different people.
