What's new in the iPhone X? Three new iPhone! Better Do not ask about the price of the iPhone X - Western and Wireless

Apple's fans and simply people who are not indifferent to the IT industry are concerned about two questions: "When will the new iPhone come out?" And "what should be expected from him?". We will not pull the rubber and immediately answer the first question - the release of the new iPhone is scheduled for September 2018. And not one iPhone, but as three. And the new Apple Watch, MacBook and iPad Pro will be released, which made the autumn of 2018 the most anticipated period for lovers of apple products. But we will sharpen attention on new iPhones and try to expand the second question, referring to expert forecasts.

When will the new iPhone come out and what to wait?

In 2018, the following iPhone models will be released:

iPhone XS with an OLED-screen size of 5.8 inches. Externally, he will remind the iPhone X, released in 2017.
iPhone XS Plus with an OLED-screen size of 6.5 inches
iPhone XR with LCD-screen diagonal 6.1 inches. This model will be cheapest.

Models will have various features that distinguish them from their predecessors. First of all, attention should be paid to the appearance.

New design

Three new iPhones will have not only an extended functionality, but also an updated design that resembles the iPhone X. The new design includes a curious screen with a cut in the upper part. The display itself will increase - the smallest will be 5.8 inches, and the largest is 6.5 inches. For comparison, previous models have a 4.7-inch diagonal (iPhone 8), 5.5 inches (iPhone 8 Plus), and 5.8 inches (iPhone X).

Face ID support

Face ID is a person's face form scanner who was developed by Apple and presented in 2017. In addition to memorizing and identifying individuals, this technology is also famous for self-defense. Using the help of neural networks, it remembers the changes represented by the user. The iPhone X was the first smartphone with this feature, but analysts argue that new models will also boast the presence of it.

New processor

The latest models of iPhones are equipped with an A11 BIONIC processor based on a 64-bit architecture. Apple decided to update the components of his smarttones, and now they will work with a new A12 processor. Various sources argue that it will be more productive than its predecessor. On the official website of the TSMC processor developers (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) states that the speed of chips will increase by 20%, and energy consumption will decrease by 40%, which will contribute to the new 7-nanometer FINFET technology.

RAM

New iPhones will have increased operational memory in comparison with previous. It will be 4 gigabytes (except the "budget" 6.1-inch model, whose RAM will be 3 gigabytes). Recall that the iPhone X possessed the size of the size of 3GB.

Additional slots

Min-Chi Kuo argues that in 6.1- and 6.5-inch models, modifications with slots for two SIM cards will be implemented. However, they will only come out in some regions.

Other innovations

Apple follows trends, and the trend of this year is screens with an extension of 18: 9. Therefore, the dimensions of new smartphones will change and will look solid. However, this is not accurate - different experts have different opinions on this matter. Changes will also be subjected to chambers. In the new flagship models, according to the assumptions of min-chi kuo, two rear cameras will be located.

Cost

According to expert forecasts, the minimum price for a 6.5-inch iPhone will be $ 999 (approximately 70 thousand rubles), for 5.8-inch - $ 899 (approximately 63 thousand rubles), and for 6.1-inch - 700 $ ( about 50 thousand rubles). Flagship models (iPhone XS and iPhone XS Plus) will go on sale already in September, and the budget model plans to conquer the market in October - closer to the New Year sales.

Apple is currently one of the most dynamic and rapidly developing companies. She deserved his reputation in vain, because its products acts as a standard and an example for imitation worldwide. Almost every year updated models of smartphones, tablets and other high-tech devices are published. Therefore, the fans of products are most likely, and this time will not be disappointed.

Per version 64 GB and up to 118,990 rubles. iPhone with 512 GB of memory.

The diagonal of the display remained the same - 5.8 inches, the design and location of the chambers is unchanged. So whether it is worth overpaying 23 thousand rubles. (Actual difference at the time of publishing the material) for the iPhone XS or the "dozen" will be no worse?

We deal with the question and compare the iPhone XS with the iPhone X.

Design

From the point of view of design, - Full copy of the iPhone X. From the changes you can note except that the fact that the iPhone XS 3 grams heavier iPhone X: 177 against 174 grams.

Another one - "Golden" was added to the colors assortment. Now the flagship smartphone company is available in three colors.

According to Apple, iPhone XS has installed strong protective glass. And on the display itself, and on the back of the body. It seems that it was the glass that caused a minor increase in weight.

Display

The diagonal of the display of the iPhone XS is the former, the resolution is exactly the same: 2436 x 1125 pixels (458 ppi). Contrast and maximum screen brightness SUPER RETINA have not changed.

And here dynamic range increased by 60%. Whether this human eye will notice - a controversial question.

Support for HDR10 and Dolby Vision was also from the iPhone X, so it smoothly moved into an updated smartphone.

Processor and graphics

IPhone XS installed more productive processor A12 Bionic. This is the first company processor produced on a 7-nanometer technological process. The predecessor A11 Bionic was produced on a 10-nanometer.

Engineers managed to place 6.9 billion transistors. According to the company, A12 Bionic compared to the processor installed in the iPhone X:

Consumes 50% less battery capacity
- works 15% faster
- more optimized under work with neural networks and artificial intelligence

At A12 Bionic and a more productive graphics core. Mobile graphics are processed 50% faster predecessor.

Another improvement that Apple truly is truly proud is the interaction of a new processor with neural networks. Instead of a 2-nuclear coprocessor in A12 BIONIC, an 8-core is used.

For comparison: the A11 Bionic neural coprocessor could handle up to 600 billion operations per second. Performance of the new chip eight times higher. It is able to handle up to 5 trillion operations per second.

For the consumer, this means only one thing: iPhone XS is capable of processing data in real time more productive. This is useful for AR applications, which is not so much.

During the presentation, Apple emphasized another moment. With the iOS 12 output, in which optimization for a new processor will appear, application start speed on iPhone XS will increase by 30% (Compared to iPhone X).

Memory

iPhone X was available in two modifications: with memory by 64 and 256 GB.

iPhone XS and iPhone XS MAX have become the first smartphones of the company with built-in memory in as many as 512 GB. This is enough to store 100 thousand photos.

Camera

The iPhone XS structural cameras remained the same. Two main sensor on 12 megapixels represented by wide-angle and body lenses, and a 7-megapixel self-module.

Wherein the size of the sensor increased from 1.2 to 1.4 micronswhat affected the photosensitivity of the matrix that now misses 50% more light.

Thus, in conditions of poor illumination, the iPhone XS removes better.

IPhone XS appeared adjusting the depth of the sharpness of the pictured space (flu) In portrait mode, after you took a picture.

In addition, the SMART HDR mode appears in the iPhone XS, which allows several snapshots with a different exposure in a moment.

Water-proof

iPhone XS protected according to IP68 standard. The predecessor, this indicator corresponds to IP67.

In practice, the key difference between the standards is the following:

- IPX7 (like iPhone X) - The smartphone is not afraid of short-term immersion in water to a depth of 1 meter
- IPX8 (like iPhone XS) - The smartphone is not afraid of a short-term immersion in the water to a depth of more than 1 meter.

Apple assures that the iPhone XS waterproof is tested in a variety of liquids: juice, water, wine and beer. You can safely dive with a smartphone to the bottom of the pool, without worrying for its performance.

However, when water gets inside the gadget. This is written on the official website of the company.

What else is the difference between the iPhone XS from the iPhone X?

In addition to the above differences, it is necessary to note the subject not so tangible changes that affected the iPhone XS:

Thanks to the new processor from the iPhone XS faster works Face ID
Included with iPhone XS More no audio engineer. It will have to buy separately
Autonomy iPhone XS is slightly higher than the iPhone X. The difference is 30 minutes
The cost of repairing the display and the rear glass panel remained at the same level
iPhone XS officially stands as well as iPhone X, but only in the USA. In Russia, the price at the start of the sales jumped from 79,990 rubles. up to 87 990 rubles. For the basic version with 64 GB of memory
IPhone XS that does not require opening applications to read NFC-labels
Wireless charging speed from iPhone XS. How much? Apple does not specify. Presumably from 7.5 W, it has grown to 10 W
The iPhone XS has supported two SIM cards, but this is not interesting to the Russian buyer. For China, this hardware support, for other countries - ESIM + Nanosim

Let's start, as usual, from the main thing in all sense of the Apple product - iPhone. This time, a smartphone from the company was presented in three variations: iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and "Budget" iPhone XR.

How does iPhone XS and iPhone XS MAX differ from iPhone X?

Both smartphones are the direct heirs of the flagship of last year iphone X. Already at the current tradition, the heirs of the last generation of smartphones, having a symbol "S" in the title, are not fundamentally different from the predecessor, but they have a more powerful stuffing, according to the current industrial opportunities of technological companies, And they carry some new Killer File, which should force a potential buyer to go to the store and update its last year's iPhone to a new one.

New iPhone protected from water and dust

the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max have dust and moisture protection according to the IP68 standard, which means that according to this standard, they can be immersed in a depth of 2 meters to a depth of 30 minutes. The Senior Vice President of the Marketing Corporation of Apple Phil Schiller, who is at the stage at that moment, stated that the moisture protection of the new iPhone was tested in a wide variety of conditions; It was immersed in wine, beer, tea, salt and ordinary water. He mentioned Phil also that on the new iPhone screen to watch HDR-content is a pleasure, especially since the screen of "apple" smartphones has a frequency of sweep 120 hertz.

Sizes of new iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max

iPhone XS has the same dimensions as its predecessor, and the iPhone XS MAX is almost identical to the size of the company's smartphones in the amount of Plus - he himself slightly less "pluses", but it has a significantly larger screen - 6.5 inches in comparison with 5, 5 inches in plus versions.

Processor and performance iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max

The new iPhone has a new generation processor - Apple A12 Bionic. This is the first 7 nanometer processor in the industry. It has 6.9 billion transistors, 6 CPU cores and 4 GPU kernels. The new processor processes the schedule faster than last year's A11 by 50%, in a bundle with a new coprocessor, they now perform 5 trillion neural computing per second against 600 billion from the last generation. Also, thanks to them, the Face ID is now running faster, and the starting speed of applications increased by 20%. The speed of the framework for working with Core ML machine learning technologies increased 9 times, but consumes only 1/10 energies. Also was told about the arkit of the second generation. Now everything that is drawn in augmented reality on new smartphones from Apple, it became more beautiful and detailed, but to be drawn faster.

Whether the battery has become more or is all about optimization, but the iPhone XS works for half an hour longer than the predecessor, and the iPhone XS Max is one and a half hours longer.

Camera new iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max

Weightful part of the presentation were given to the cameras of the new iPhone. In both smartphones, two chamber modules are installed on 12 MP each. The first is wide-angle with aperture F / 1.4, and the second - telephoto lens with aperture F / 2.4. In the front chamber installed 7 MP sensor.

The details of the pictures made on the cameras of the new iPhone became even higher, improved the portrait mode and added the ability to change the depth of field on the already taken photo. During video filming, iPhone XS and iPhone XS MAX can now record stereo sounds.

Two SIM cards in new iPhone

Yes, rumors were confirmed. Apple really made a special version of the iPhone XS Max with two SIM cards, but there is bad news - it will be sold only in China.

When iPhone XS and iPhone XS MAX will appear in Russia and at what price

iPhone XS and iPhone XS MAX will go on sale on September 28. They will be available in 3 color versions: Golden, Gray and Old Good Space Gray.

As for prices, here we have bad news. New "Iphones" are expensive, and in Russia, in Russia, prices are noticeably higher than in the United States.

iPhone XS 64 GB - 87 990 rubles

iPhone XS 256 GB - 110 990 rubles

iPhone XS 512 GB - 118 990 rubles

iPhone XS MAX 64 GB - 96 990 rubles

iPhone XS MAX 256 GB - 109 990 rubles

iPhone XS MAX 512 GB - 127 990 rubles

For comparison: The cost of iPhone XS 64 GB in the USA - $ 999 (about 70,000 rubles at the current course), iPhone XS MAX 64 GB - $ 1099 (about 77,000 rubles), and iPhone XS Max 512 GB - $ 1449 (about 93 000 rubles - the difference is almost 30,000!).

"Budget" iPhone XR - not at all budget

Now it's time to tell about another iPhone, which was shown next to the successors of the iPhone X. There were long rumors about the budget iPhone for a long time, but the aware was understood that the words of Apple and the budget in one sentence could not be used.

What was saved in the iPhone XR?

the iPhone XR is a smartphone that is so similar to its "older brothers", but equipped with a less expensive LCD screen and will be sold at 5 color versions: white, black, blue, yellow, coral and traditional "charity" iPhone Red.

Named the LCD display in the new iPhone Liquid Retina Display. It has a diagonal of 6.1 inches, a resolution of 1792 × 828 pixels and the same as in senior versions, a frequency of sweep 120 hertz. The frames around the screen here is a bit thicker than in the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone X, and the iPhone XR itself represents something among the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max.

The iPhone XR also has Face ID and installed Apple A12 Bionic chip. The main camera in the iPhone XR has only one 12-megapixel module with anoperative F / 1.8. But even with one camera module there is a portrait mode with a changing depth of field; It functions programmatically. Just like the iPhone XS MAX, iPhone XR works for an hour and a half longer iPhone 8 Plus.

When iPhone XR appears in Russia and at what price

the iPhone XR will go on sale later than the iPhone XS and iPhone XS MAX, the start of sales is scheduled for October 26.

As for the value of the iPhone XR, it is difficult to name budget:

iPhone XR 64 GB - 64 990 rubles

iPhone XR 128 GB - 68 990 rubles

iPhone XR 256 GB - 77 990 rubles

Apple Watch Series 4 - much cooler than new iPhone

In addition to the three new iPhone, the presentation also showed new Apple Watch Series 4. And there are a lot of all good in them, perhaps even more than in new models of smartphones.

In the new generation, the display finally became more, and the frames around the screen thinner. In the small clock, the display has become more than 35% compared with the previous generation, and in large - by 32%. Despite this, battery life remains at the same level - 18 hours.

Wheel on the side of the clock now vibrates and creates a tactile response. Series 4 operate on a new two-core 64-bit S4 processor, and thanks to the new accelerometer and the gyroscope will be more accurately traced by the physical indicators of the user. As for the software, the new Apple Watch added a dial with 8 add-ons and the ability to customize it.

Apple Watch Series 4 is now able to show an electrocardiogram and measure heart rhythm in the background. All data is sent to the iPhone of the user, from where they can be sent to the doctor, for example. But alas, these functions will only work in the United States.

When Apple Watch Series 4 will appear in Russia and at what price?

Apple Watch Series 4 In the GPS version (without support for SIM-cards) will come in Russia on sale on September 21. From October 4, the Apple Watch Nike + version will be available in Russia.

Apple Watch Series 4 GPS will cost the buyer at 31,990 rubles. In the US, they cost from $ 399 (about 28,000 rubles).

What about iOS update?

All stated batteries depend on network settings and other factors; The actual time of operation may not coincide with the specified one. The battery admits a limited number of charging cycles. After some time, it may be necessary to replace the battery at an authorized Apple service center. The battery life and the number of charging cycles depend on the settings and the nature of the device using the device. Read more on pages and.

Memory cards as it was not and will not

Cuppertinovtsy for many years in a row ignore the requests of fans to introduce a memory card slot into the iPhone. MicroSD nests were not in one generation of "apple" smartphones, and it is unlikely to appear in the near future.

Why do Tim Cook and consciously limit user memory?

Business, of course. Why share income with third-party Flash cards (in particular, with Kingston and SanDisk)? It is more profitable to sell models with different amounts of memory at different prices. For example, iPhone X on 64 GB costs 80 thousand rubles, and at 256 GB - 92 thousand rubles.

Memory card in iPhone - only so. / Photo - iphon.fr

For the extra 192 GB Apple receives 12 thousand rubles from each user.

In this case, the usual microSD flash drive of the same volume costs at least twice cheaper.

Another reason is more noble. Apple smartphones are closed system. She does not need other people's decisions that can pour the image of the company and worsen the quality of the devices.

MicroSD flash drives are constantly broken or lost. It threatens users of loss of thousands of photos and videos that were stored on the card, and not in the "Cloud" Apple.

In addition, the MicroSD cards have a lower reading speed and write than the built-in Flash drives of Cuppertinov. It may negatively affect the speed of work of individual programs and the operating system as a whole. Does this apple do you need? Not exactly, so do not wait for the flash drive slot in future iPhone.

Wireless Wire Charging

With the release of iPhone 8, the creators announced that new devices now support wireless charging. Nothing innovative, Android owners for many years used this feature on their smartphones. Take at least Nexus 4 from LG, which supported wireless charging in the distance 2012.

However, the current decisions of Apple and other manufacturers are far from ideal. Nor imagine, there is even a wireless charging: the platform to which the smartphone is placed, connects to the outlet.

See the wire from charging? Not? And he is. / Photo - Depositphotos

Users are not the first year waiting when Apple will arrange a breakthrough in this area. Especially since Kupertinovsky suppliers actively invest in the developer of the ENERGOUS long-range charging technology.

The WATTUP system can simultaneously charge a variety of devices that are within a radius of several meters from the base station. Nevertheless, it is pointless to wait for the support of such charging in the new iPhone. This technology is still too raw, it is practically not used anywhere and exists now at the prototype stage.

Home button - all

The likelihood is that on September 12, Apple will immediately show three new smartphones with cramless displays.

On the one hand, the news is good - the screen will take most of the front panel, as in the iPhone X. Thanks to which it will be placed much more information. On the other hand, the home button with a fingerprint scanner will finally disappear.

iPhone 6 - the latter with the traditional HOME button. / Photo - Depositphotos

Although the technology is already familiar. Apple cuts home from new models. Instead of Touch ID - Face recognition system Face ID, which, with rare exceptions, copes well with its task.

And the usual protection of the phone PIN-code will not disappear. However, users who do not want to lose the HOME buttons completely lose their choice when buying a new device. Many "Old Believers" such a lack of an alternative can scare away. But forget, the only button on the front panel in the flagship models will not return.

Three lens - bust

Shortly before the presentation, rumors appeared that one of the new iPhones could get a triple back chamber - right as in the flagship Huawei P20 Pro.

This will not happen. Is that Apple did not play a grand special operation. Photographs of prototypes of all iPhone new generation have repeatedly appeared on the Internet. And in reputable sources. The senior models will have two main chambers, younger - and alone.
