The iPhone X arriving in stores Friday isn’t just a new design. It’s a new relationship.

Compared to your current phone, the tenth-anniversary iPhone is missing a key element: the home button. The whole front is just screen. You have to learn new gestures to operate it. Instead of scanning a finger to unlock it, now you stop and look at it for a second like you’re taking a selfie. This phone recognizes you.
