iPhone 6/6 Plus
The biggest change in the iPhone 6 was the screen size of 4.7 inches. The larger screen still had a high pixel density so image quality was sharp and detailed.

iPhone X
It's the first iPhone ever to use an OLED display. The iPhone X does not have a home button. Apple has ditched the physical key in favor of a swipe up gesture from the bottom of the screen, while the fingerprint scanning Touch ID has also been eliminated. In its place is Face ID, a facial scanner technology that accurately maps your face and is more secure than Touch ID. The iPhone X is also the most expensive iPhone ever.
