Tech giant reveals future plans in documents filed with the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology
APPLE fans are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the iPhone X, which is due for release in November.
Now the fruity firm has revealed tantalising details of the flagship 10th-anniversary gadget's specs and features.
It has filed documents with the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's Telecommunication Equipment Certification Center which appear to show its vital statistics,
The filing indicates the £999 X will come with a beefy 2,715 milliamp-hour battery which will power an A11 Bionic chip which motors along at 2.4GHz.
Apple has previously said the battery will "last up to two hours longer between charges than iPhone 7", but the filing is the first indication of exactly how beefy the battery will be.
It's not known whether the super-glossy and high definition OLED screen will use up more power than older displays.
The iPhone X is expected to use a lot of energy to power its TrueDepth depth-sensing camera is used in the Face ID facial recognition system which lets users unlock the device by scanning their face.
Apple already revealed that the X was going to feature an A11 Bionic chip, but this is the first time we've gotten a hint of exactly how fast it will go.
