Hi, It is exactly the shape of the current iPhones, but all 3 new iPhones now have also a glass back (again) since the iPhone 4 and 4S also had a glass back. I just Googled iPhone X dimensions and did find the following information on GSMMarina.com, here they did by the way also say the iPhone X would have 3 Gb of RAM which I think means it has 1 Gb more than the current regular size models, but I think the 7 Plus also had 3 Gb. Anyhow, here the dimensions for the iPhone 7 (regular 4.7 inch screen size) and then the iPhone X, after that the summary/comparison:
iPhone 7 Dimensions: 138.3 x 67.1 x 7.1 mm or 5.44 x 2.64 x 0.28 inches Screen (diagonal): 4.7 inches Weight: 138 grams or 4.87 ounces iPhone X Dimensions: 143.6 x 70.9 x 7.7 mm or 5.65 x 2.79 x 0.30 inches Screen (diagonal): 5.8 inches Weight: 174 grams or 6.14 ounces iPhone X is larger than an iPhone 7 as follows: Length: 5.3 mm or just under a quarter inch longer Width: 3.8mm or just over an eighth inch wider Thickness: 0.6mm thicker, also 0.3mm thicker than an iPhone 7 Plus Weight: 36 grams or about an ounce and a quarter heavier (only 14 grams or about half an ounce lighter than a 7 Plus). All in all it's amazing that with such a marginally larger size compared to the regular 4.7 inch screen models they can make the screen even larger than on the plus models. I think sighted people will love this. I can imagine that this phone would feel very nice to hold, it will have more weight to it but it is only an eighth inch wider and less than a quarter inch longer than the regular size phones now and of course because of the OLED screen and more power efficient CPU 2 hours more battery life puts it into the league of the Plus models as well for that. In fact, when the OLED screen becomes standard I could even see the larger Plus size phone models disappearing unless they also get the OLED screen and with no bezel and home button I bet they could give these phones a 6.5 or 6.7 inch screen which is not that far off an iPad Mini screen and the term "Phablet" would really apply then. For those who have a hard time picturing what a quarter or eighth inch is, here something to compare it to: A quarter inch is 6mm. The current iPhone 6, 6S or 7 are 7.1mm thick, this means the iPhone X is longer than the iPhone 7 by less than the thickness of the 7 and wider by only half of that thickness. In fact, the iPhone 5S was 7.6 mm thick which is basically the same as the iPhone X and if somebody ever put an iPhone 5S next to an iPhone 6S or 7 you know how almost unperceptable that difference of half a millimeter is, maybe the same as 2 postcards on top of each other. I think if you picked up an iPhone X you might notice the heavier weight, but at first would not even notice that it is larger than a 6S or 7.

When the screen size is described, they say “on the diagonal,” and they discuss “rounded edges” — but I cannot get a sense of what the phone would feel like as compared to what it feels like now. Does it bulge slightly outward toward the center and have super thin edges? Is it essentially the size of the larger devices now, such as the S’s or Pluses, insofar as what is held in your hand? I prefer a smaller device, but like the idea of rounded edges and a thinner body . . . but I am having a difficult time discerning what the X’s hardware is like. Can someone with some vision describe, or is there a source which describes this well? Thanks much. Christine -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
