The long-awaited Apple Special Event 2017 took place on September 12. For the first time, the new Apple Park campus in California served as the venue for the conference, namely a special conference center that can accommodate a thousand people and was called the “Steve Jobs Theatre.” A whole bunch of new products were presented on stage, including three new iPhones.

iPhone X

The highlight of the program, of course, was the iPhone X (X is read as “Ten” - “Ten”), dedicated to the tenth anniversary of the very first iPhone.

The smartphone has a 5.8-inch OLED display, which occupies almost the entire front panel. It has a resolution of 2436 by 1125 pixels.

The legendary “Home” button has disappeared. It was replaced by a simple gesture: you need to swipe your finger from bottom to top. If you hold your finger in place for a split second, you will be taken to the multitasking menu.

To unlock your smartphone, you now just need to use a face scanner. The technology is called Face ID, and the work is ensured by an infrared camera and various sensors that create a 3D model of the face. Face ID builds more than 30 thousand points, scanning 50 facial muscles to build a 3D model and unlock the smartphone.

Face ID adapts over time, works with third-party apps and payment system Apple Pay. It will be very difficult to deceive facial scanning technology: the chance of deception is 1 in a million people.

iPhone X will be available for pre-order starting October 27, and the device will go on sale on November 3. The price starts from 80 thousand rubles.

iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus

Essentially, these are heavily upgraded iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. Three colors are available: gold, silver and space gray. The front and back panels are glass, the frame is aluminum (steel inside).

The 4.7- and 5.5-inch screens have a True Tone function that adjusts to ambient lighting. The speakers became louder by 25%.

Both the frameless iPhone X and the 8 and 8 Plus models received support for wireless charging. It works the same way as its competitors: you place your smartphone on a surface and it charges.

Prices start at 57 thousand rubles for an iPhone 8 with 64 GB of memory and 65 thousand for an iPhone 8 Plus with 64 GB of memory.

Apple TV 4K

Externally the same Apple TV fourth generation, but twice as fast and four times more productive. Supports Ultra HD resolution (3840 pixels horizontally and 2160 pixels vertically). If you have a TV with a similar resolution, and 13 thousand rubles - this is your choice.

Apple Watch Series 3

The third generation of smartwatches from Apple with built-in mobile communications and still with the same design.

Now with the help of the watch you can listen to music through special services, and the smart assistant Siri has learned to speak through the speaker.

Apple Watch now understands what altitude its owner is at. Ideal if you ski or snowboard.

The Series 3 model with a communication module costs from 24 thousand rubles, the model without a SIM card - from 20 thousand rubles. Unfortunately, only the second option will be sold in Russia.

Since the official release in September, 59% of owners of compatible devices have switched to iOS 11. Despite the fact that last month the number of users of the new platform increased by 7% - from 52% to 59%, the overall rate of transition to the new product remains quite low.

Do you think it's impossible to print sneakers!? And Adidas proved the opposite by creating the world's first mass-produced sports shoes that were printed on a 3D printer. Note that this is not the first such experiments by representatives of the famous brand, but Futurecraft 4D is undoubtedly considered a very ambitious project. German textile workers were helped by specialists from the American company Carbon, who actually developed the unique Continuous Liquid Interface Production (CLIP) technology. This technology allows for 3D printing using polymer materials that harden when exposed to light. Specifically, Futurecraft 4D uses liquid polymer resin and ultraviolet light. According to scientists, the result is much more reliable and more elastic than injection-molded plastic counterparts. In addition, the sneakers themselves can be customized an infinite number of times for each client.

However, Huawei believes that its developments will be able to bypass Face ID with 10x accuracy. During the recent presentation of the Honor V10 tablet, Huawei company showed a couple of slides about the planned facial recognition technology, which should surpass Apple Face ID on the iPhone X.

On December 2, many users received complaints that iOS 11.1 stops working if you run third party applications. Due to an error in the software configuration, when the device clock reached 12:15, 12/02/2017, the system went into reboot and crashed in every possible way due to any notifications received by third-party applications.

: Will appear in Russia new technology contactless payments

By the new year, a new contactless payment technology will appear in Russia - Garmin Pay, it will be launched by the manufacturer sports watches Garmin. Negotiations are currently underway with banks, a representative of the Navicom company (representing the interests of Garmin in Russia) told Vedomosti. The presentation of the Garmin Pay system and the smart watches that support it consisted of...

New firmware for mobile Apple gadgets was announced in June 2017 at conferences WWDC. The public release of iOS 11 took place in September after the presentation of the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X.

Apple presentation date. Everything that is known.

Unfortunately, the iPhone 7 is a very “ancient” device in terms of how it works with the battery; there are no additional and actually working power saving modes (the one that is there doesn’t help much). In the Galaxy S8, the power saving mode significantly extends the operating time.

Obviously, it is the new emoticons, according to Apple, that are the “most anticipated feature” that all owners of iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Yes, perhaps new emojis will indeed not be superfluous, but all the time spent on their creation and implementation could be spent on optimizing the iOS 12 operating system and solving various kinds of problems that users of Apple devices on iOS 11 face every day .

iOS 11.2 was designed to fix a bug that causes spontaneous reboots of smartphones. It is noteworthy that Apple usually releases updates for the operating system on Tuesdays, however iOS update 11.2 was released on Saturday, December 2, as an emergency fix for the reboot glitch, The Verge noted. The error occurred when applications sent notifications about certain events. As a temporary solution to the problem, users used setting the time back and turning off notifications.

The reluctance of iPhone and iPad users to abandon iOS 10 is caused by big amount errors and malfunctions new firmware. Since the official release in September Apple has already released several updates aimed at solving these problems. Most likely, 33% of users who still prefer to stay on iOS 10 have not yet had time to upgrade to iOS 11.2. In this major update, Apple has fixed issues that users were experiencing after iOS installations 11.

The wearables market grew 7.3% in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the same period last year, with 26.3 million devices sold, including watches and fitness bands. These are the assessments of the IDC agency, whose experts have noticed multidirectional trends in the development of two main categories of wearable devices: the simplest bracelets and fitness gadgets are stagnating, if not falling, but smart watch on the contrary, they are showing serious growth. However, it is simple wearable devices that support the entire market due to low prices and a constant influx of new customers in the form of the younger generation. But the development of the market, its growth both in quantity and in money, is ensured by smart watches.

Apple also said that Face ID has a false positive rate of one in a million. Later, Bloomberg sources said that Apple was forced to reduce the recognition accuracy in order to provide smartphones to those countries where sales had already started, in the required time frame. Meanwhile, videos began to appear on YouTube disproving the flawlessness of the new technology. It turned out that Face ID refuses to work when the phone is tilted - it must be held strictly vertically, the function does not distinguish between children, twins, opposite-sex brothers and sisters, and in the USA, a 10-year-old boy even managed to impersonate his mother.

Apple skillfully stirred up interest in this model, and the release of the iPhone X, as expected, became a sensation. Industry analysts unanimously noted high performance smartphone, the impressive characteristics of its OLED screen, the innovative Face ID function, in the ranking best gadgets 2017 according to Time iPhone X took second place. At the same time, happy owners of the “Ten” around the world report numerous problems with the display, speakers and facial recognition. Apple changes defective gadgets and releases updates to fix software errors, which does not prevent users from calling the first one a failure frameless smartphone with Face ID from Apple.

However, when demonstrating its technology, Huawei did not say anything about its implementation in any phones.

It is not yet known what role Face ID will play in phones. It's possible that facial recognition technology could eventually replace fingerprint sensors, although many believe phones should have both means of identification.

HTC phones made stereo speakers on smartphones popular with its BoomSound brand. This was one of the key functions HTC One 2013 release. So why are speakers so important? When you watch videos or play games while holding your phone horizontal mode, the sound quality is much better. Perfect option– when the speakers are above and below the screen. This way you won't muffle them when you hold the device horizontally. iPhone X goes even further: the speaker for calls acts as an additional speaker, and the main one is located next to the Lightning connector.

Apple presentation what they will show. News today 12/06/2017

During the week of November 27 - December 3, 2017, three serious problems in the operation of Apple operating systems were already identified. The first vulnerability discovered was the ability for any Mac user to gain computer administrator rights.

A group of designers, based on various rumors and information leaks, of which there are very few so far, recreated the supposed appearance iPhone 11. They succeeded extremely well, thanks to which now anyone can admire the design of the future new product, as well as get acquainted with its key features. The first thing that immediately catches your eye in the new Apple flagship is the frameless AMOLED screen, which has lost the “horns” at the top.

Therefore, when buying gadgets, you should choose the most convenient, high-quality and suitable options. Good smartphone can't be cheap. If you want it to serve you long and faithfully, do not skimp on spending a decent amount of money on it.

Apple has long been paying enormous attention to emoji emoticons in its iOS and macOS operating systems. It just so happens that the more of them there are in the iPhone, iPad and Mac, the worse all these devices work, but this does not bother the Apple corporation at all. She doesn't care at all what's in her OS for various devices New bugs and vulnerabilities are regularly found, and millions of people around the world constantly experience some kind of difficulty. Today, one of the reliable sources spoke about what “the most awaited feature” Apple will add in iOS 12.

Apple also said that Face ID has a false positive rate of one in a million. Later, Bloomberg sources said that Apple was forced to reduce the recognition accuracy in order to provide smartphones to those countries where sales had already started, in the required time frame.

The whole point of this innovation will be is that from now on emoticons will be able to look not only forward, but also backward. This feature will be a logical continuation of the expansion of the functionality of branded emoticons on iPhone, iPad and Mac, which are used on a daily basis by millions of people around the world.

During the spring and until the end of summer, a real spinner mania reigned in the world. It would seem like an ordinary anti-stress toy, but in 2017, virtually everyone played it in their hands: from office workers to preschool children. The idea of ​​​​creating this spinner is attributed to Katherine Hattinger, who in the early 90s decided to come up with a toy that, according to one version, could distract children from aggressive thoughts, and according to the second, she invented the spinner for her daughter, who suffered from Erb-Goldflam myasthenia (an autoimmune disease that causes muscle fatigue syndrome). True, then Hattinger’s invention was not particularly successful and was forgotten until the end of 2016, until an article appeared in Forbes magazine in which the publication’s journalist Dames Plafk called fidget spinners “a must-have office toy in 2017.” Then all social networks and popular resources started talking about them, and on Youtube, users began uploading videos of various tricks with this thing.

iOS 11 has become one of the most significant updates mobile platform Apple received a number of completely new functions. Most of them were dictated iPhone capabilities X - Apple's anniversary smartphone with a frameless OLED display.

Apple has released new statistics showing that iOS 11 is installed on nearly two-thirds of compatible devices.

With great pleasure I re-read the “Buyer’s Guide” from a year ago, in which I compared the iPhone 7 and S7 EDGE, every third comment is from an iPhone fan about the fact that AMOLED screens are bad, they have terrible colors and how good it is that Apple has never will use such matrices. For some commentators I even did a little work and saw how their opinion changed after iPhone release X, – it has become diametrically opposed. What does marketing do to people and their beliefs...

10. Portrait mode for selfie camera

The device is equipped with a 7-megapixel TrueDepth front camera with f/2.2 aperture. Functional improvements to the optics allow for unique effects that simulate studio lighting.

As a result, due to this error, the recognition system stopped working on some iPhone X smartphones after installing the OS update to iOS 11.2 Face ID. Reportedly, after turning on the screens iPhone smartphones X affected by the issue received a notification warning them that they couldn't turn on Face ID.

Apple video presentation. Recent events.

The first Apple Watch appeared quite recently - not even two and a half years ago, but it has already managed to outsell Rolexes. By at least, so it was said at the presentation. But this is not surprising, because good Rolexes cost hundreds of thousands, and some - millions of rubles. And the price for Apple Watch Series 3 will be slightly lower: $329 without cellular communication and 399 - with an LTE module.

The new Apple Watch now comes with cellular support, allowing you to leave your smartphone behind and go for a run, grab some bread, or walk the dog while still being connected. I immediately want to give such a watch to all those who often forget or are lazy to take a smartphone with them, horrifying most people who have long been accustomed to the fact that any person can be heard at any moment just by tapping the screen a few times. Of course, in addition to calls, other benefits of civilization will be available. For example, streaming music from Apple Music. But here you will have to fork out for wireless AirPods.

The design remains the same, except that the watch has become a little thicker, but the advantage is that you can safely use straps from previous models. While the appearance has undergone only minor changes, for example, a new case color, as well as a partly red crown in the LTE version, the “filling” has evolved much more. According to Apple, the new dual-core processor is 70% faster than the old chip in terms of performance. And the W2 chip, which is responsible for wireless connections, will help the watch be more energy efficient than before.

With the new watch, Apple has put more emphasis on monitoring your heart health. Apple Watch will now not only show you more detailed statistics your heart rate, but also notify you about arrhythmia, as well as when your heart rate increases despite the fact that you are inactive. And watchOS 4 will be released soon - September 19th.

Apple TV 4K

Better late than never - the company from Cupertino has released the fifth generation of Apple TV, which now supports 4K (owners NVIDIA Shield TV, the latest Google Chromecast, video set-top boxes from Microsoft and Sony and other modern video players smiled sarcastically). To highlight its lag behind other market participants, Apple made a very nice gesture towards its users: HD movies from its store will become free, and 4K versions will cost no more than HD previously cost. Moreover, pictures that you have already purchased in HD will automatically become available to you in 4K. It’s also nice that the new TV set-top box will not cost much more than the previous one - $179 and $199 for the 32- and 64-GB versions, respectively, while the previous generation device, which will still be on sale, can be purchased for $149. In Russia, a new 32 GB set-top box will cost 13,490 rubles, and a 64 GB set-top box will cost 14,990 rubles.

Besides more high resolution The currently popular HDR technology is also supported - High Dynamic Range, which makes the picture - no, not more realistic - more saturated and bright. Relatively speaking, just like HDR mode in a mobile camera makes the colors in your photos much more impressive.

Connecting Apple TV 4K to your home network and TV is easy. For this, the set-top box has HDMI 2.0 ports, a gigabit Ethernet connector, a Wi-Fi module with support for IEEE 802.11ac (2.4/5 GHz), and Bluetooth 5.0. The kit also includes a remote control with a built-in microphone for interacting with Siri.

iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus

No iPhone 7s and 7s Plus - Apple immediately jumped over its own tradition of adding the letter s to the previous number in odd years, implying that there is not much new in new smartphones.

Are there many differences between the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus from previous models? Eg, back panel became glass. But not only for the sake of beauty, but also for wireless charging. Even though Apple has said that the new smartphones use the strongest glass ever, I'm sure many will prefer not to take the risk of removing the phone from the case.

iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus received 4.7- and 5.5-inch displays, respectively, with support for 3D Touch. Also, both smartphones have stereo speakers. According to the Apple company, the speakers are 25% louder than those in the iPhone 7. And low frequencies deeper, but for some reason it was not said by what percentage.

By the way, not only the speakers received improvements - Apple also updated the processor, now it is six-core (only recently the company switched to four cores for the first time) and is called A11 Bionic. They promise 25-70% more performance. What are the percentages? At the presentation they said that this is the most powerful mobile chip that any smartphone has ever received. We can only take their word for it, since Apple didn’t bother to show any numbers in comparison with anyone else. The graphics component has also been updated, so we expect excellent results in mobile games from the iPhone 8.

The A11 includes a separate chip for processing images from cameras, which helps to focus faster in low light and eliminate noise. The iPhone 8 received a single 12-megapixel camera with optical stabilization, and the iPhone 8 Plus received two cameras of 12 megapixels each. One lens has an aperture of f/1.8, the other - f/2.8. Much has been said that life will now become better; new cameras are better than the previous ones in all respects: they produce less noise, take more beautiful pictures, etc. But since users have become accustomed to the “everything gets better, just trust us,” Apple also showed off something more tangible—an improved version of Portrait mode. The improvements are that you can now change the lighting conditions on a photo you've already taken. For example, you can darken the background or make it completely dark.

There are now only two models with different amounts of memory to choose from, and the difference is quite large. Minimum - 64 GB of internal memory. The next, also known as the last step, is 256 GB. iPhone 8 starts at $699, iPhone 8 Plus starts at $799.

iPhone X

Apparently, one new iPhone once a year won’t surprise anyone. You won't be surprised by two. Perhaps that's why Apple decided to introduce three this year. It should be noted that almost all of the rumors and leaks came true.

But first things first. The iPhone X is very different from the aforementioned iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. As expected, the display takes up almost the entire front panel of the smartphone, leaving no room even for Touch ID. The diagonal is almost like that of phablets 5.8 inches, and the resolution is 2436x1125 pixels (458 ppi). The matrix for the iPhone X is made using OLED technology, but, according to Apple, it is devoid of the typical disadvantages of this kind of matrix.

There really is no Home button anymore. Therefore, interaction with a smartphone has also changed. Instead of clicking on it, you now need to swipe up on the screen, starting from the very bottom of the display. And to prevent your iPhone X, which lacks Touch ID, from being unlocked by anyone, Apple has equipped it with Face ID - facial recognition. They promise that it works even in the dark.

And even if you decide to wear glasses, a hat or grow a beard. But it won’t work if someone tries to unlock your smartphone using your photo or even your mask. However, Apple admits that approximately one person in a million will still be able to unlock your gadget. And if you have a twin, then he has all the more chances to rummage through your phone.

Finally, the long-awaited event for iPhone fans took place - the Apple presentation in September 2017. Millions of people watched the online broadcast, during which they could enjoy new gadgets. You should consider the main features and characteristics of the new iPhones.

Apple presentation took place on September 12, 2017

One of the most anticipated events of the fall took place in the theater dedicated to Steve Jobs, which was just built in Apple Park in California. The developers presented the Apple Watch Series 3 (smart watches that do not require communication with a phone), Apple TV 4K (a gadget for watching movies in 4K), the new iPhone 8 and 8 Plus and iPhone X. At the very end of the presentation in September, CEO Tim Cook pleased two more new products: an improved version of AirPods – a case with wireless charging and an AirPower wireless charging pad.

New iPhone 8

If you follow the logic, then this year Apple was supposed to show seventh models with the letter s at a presentation in September, but the manufacturers decided to go against the system and presented eights, which are a traditional upgrade of the iPhone 7. The release of the new iPhone 8 confirmed that new technologies are actively penetrating into the world, for example, thanks to Apple's new glass case, you can charge the device using the wireless function.

iPhone 8 – photos and specifications

The developers have included the following characteristics in the new phone model from Apple:

1. The main innovation is the six-core chipset, which has a graphics chip that supports machine learning methods.
2. Apple's iPhone presentation in September pointed to Portrait Lightning technology, which changes lighting based on a depth map, which simulates different sources Sveta.
3. It is worth noting the improved video recording, so you can get videos with 4K resolution.
4. There is a new True Tone technology, thanks to which the color temperature of the display changes depending on the lighting around it.
5. The presentation of the iPhone 8 and iPhone X, which took place in September, talked about the presence of a 12 megapixel camera with optical stabilization. Note that Apple did a good job on additional reality to using the camera.

iPhone 8 design

Many iPhone fans expected significant changes in design, since the seven was a copy of the six, but Apple developers did not live up to their hopes. The new models are identical to the design of the previous gadget with the exception of one detail - the presence of a glass back panel. CEO At the presentation in September, he emphasized that they used the most durable glass in the world. Basic iPhone colors 8: grey, white and pink. The screen diagonal remains the same, so for 8 it is 4.7 inches, and for 8 Plus it is 5.5 inches. The case has special protection against water and dust.

When will iPhone 8 go on sale?

Original equipment will be available from certified Apple partners, which are distributed throughout the world. The cost of iPhone 8 will be a record and will be $800-1000 for the basic version. The price will directly depend on the built-in memory. For those who are waiting for the start of iPhone 8 sales in Russia, important information– you can buy a gadget from Apple from September 29, and pre-orders in stores will be open a week before the specified date.

New iPhone X

This is the tenth iPhone that belongs to the premium class. At the presentation in September, it was said that the developers have added several new functions, for example, Face ID is used - an addition that involves identifying the owner using the face. This technology works at any time of the day and adapts to changes if, for example, a beard appears. You won't be able to unlock the device using a photo because security is used.

The presentation of the new iPhone 2017 in September showed that the phone has another interesting feature - animated emoji. It is based on controlling facial emotions and creating animated faces that can be sent in messages to other people. As for everyone's favorite Siri, it can be activated by double-clicking the button located on the side, or by greeting.

iPhone X - specifications

To understand what the Apple developers proposed, let’s look at the main specifications which became known at the presentation:

1. The gadget weighs 174 g, and LxWxT has the following values: 143.6x70.9x7.7 mm.
2. The 5.8-inch OLED display has a resolution of 2436x1125. It is worth noting that it supports True Tone and 3D Touch technology.
3. Many people like the photos of the iPhone X, and it’s also worth knowing that it is protected from water and dust at the microscopic level, according to the IP67 standard.
4. To understand how the phone will work, you should look at the processor – A11 Bionic with 64-bit architecture. The design includes an integrated M11 motion coprocessor.
5. At the presentation in September, you could find out that the main camera has a wide-angle (ƒ/1.8 aperture) and a telephoto lens (ƒ/2.4 aperture) of 12 megapixels. I can't help but appreciate the Portrait mode with the beta version of Portrait Lighting. The lens has six lenses and is protected by sapphire crystal. In addition, the camera boasts an IR cut filter, face detection, noise reduction, automatic image stabilization and automatic switching on HDR.
6. Apple introduced the iPhone X, which is capable of recording 4K video at 24, 30 and 60 frames/s. You can use the gadget to record 720p HD video. When shooting video, it is activated optical stabilization and zoom.
7. Concerning front camera, then this is TrueDepth 7 MP. You can shoot 1080p HD video. Other features: wide color range, automatic stabilization and continuous shooting.
8. Duration battery life more than the seventh version by two hours. The new model supports Qi wireless charging, which will be launched next year.
9. At the presentation in September, they said that the new iPhone X has built-in memory of 64 and 256 GB.

iPhone X design

Many of the assumptions regarding the design of this premium model turned out to be true, and this could be seen at the presentation in September. The phone has glass panels, which is important for integrating the wireless charging function, between which there is a metal frame. At the Apple presentation in September 2017, many emphasized the all-in-one effect, which is emphasized by the absence of frames around the display and Home buttons. If you are interested in the colors of the iPhone X, then there are only two of them: “space gray” and silver.

When will iPhone X sales start?

After the presentation in September, you want to quickly hold it in your hands new phone and evaluate all its advantages, then pre-order for new iPhone X can be done on October 27th. The long-awaited device will appear in stores on November 3. The price for a unique new product is high, and for a 64 GB phone you will have to pay $999, and for a 256 GB device – $1199. Please note that this official figures and some sellers may increase the cost of the iPhone.

iPhone 8 vs iPhone X

Looking at the main characteristics of new phones from Apple, it is difficult to immediately say which model is better and what makes it stand out. We suggest focusing on obvious distinctive features iPhone 8 and iPhone X.

1. Eights come in three colors, while Xs only come in two variations.
2. The diagonal sizes also differ, for example, for the 8 and 8 Plus they are 4.7 and 5.5 inches. As for the iPhone X, it has the largest display ever Apple history and is 5.8 inches. Plus, it doesn't have a Home button.
3. In an Apple presentation in September 2017, it was said that the 8 and 8 Plus models have updated speakers that are 25% louder, but in iPhone description X doesn't have this feature, but this model does have Face ID technology.

We decided to look into the likelihood of introducing new devices. The event is not rubber, so obviously not everything will fit into it.

What is the probability of seeing each new product?

iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Plus, and iPhone 9

Probability: 100%

The cutout in the screen for True Depth is not visible, but it is definitely there

Since 2010 we have seen a clear naming system for iPhones: 4, 4s, 5, 5s, 6, 6s and 7. There were special 5c and SE, but general principle didn't raise any questions. In 2017 everything changed.

Instead of the iPhone 7s, we saw the iPhone 8 and iPhone X (10), so in 2018 we first expected the inexpensive iPhone 9, the flagship iPhone XI (11) and iPhone XI Plus. But according to 9to5Mac, the latter will end up being Xs.

They will receive iPhone design X And Face ID in the screen cutout.

To 6.1-inch iPhone 9 fits into the lineup, it should get the current A11 Bionic instead of the new A12, as well as an MLCD+ screen instead of OLED, a single camera instead of a double one, and no more than 3GB of RAM.

This way it will fit just under the iPhone X.

The main feature of the iPhone 9 will be a whole range of body colors: white, black, yellow, orange, blue and grey.

TrendForce are confident that 9 will cost no more $699-749 . To achieve this price, it may have larger frames around the screen, as well as aluminum sides instead of steel.

Golden iPhone Xs concept by Venya Geskin

Except A12 chip iPhone Xs And iPhone Xs Plus will receive a 5.8- and 6.5-inch OLED screen, respectively, 4 GB of RAM, dual cameras and steel side faces.

There is almost no doubt that in addition to black and white flagship smartphones will also be sold in gold or bronze. This is hinted at by the presentation logo.

To fully justify the “s” index, devices can also receive ProMotion - overclocking the screen frequency to 120 Hz.

You'll have to pay for the iPhone Xs $899-949 , and for the iPhone Xs Plus they will ask from $999 .

Final versions of iOS 12, macOS Mojave, watchOS 5

Probability: 100%

The presentation should not ignore the final iOS versions 12, macOS Mojave and watchOS 5, which we began to actively use immediately after WWDC 2018.

The main feature of iOS 12 is speed, and macOS Mojave received dark theme interface design, which should also migrate to mobile devices.

Oddly enough, personally I most I want to see final version watchOS 5, although installing it on my Apple Watch Series 2 will not bring anything new.

However, I'm interested to see how she will use the increased Apple screen Watch Series 4.

New frameless Apple Watch Series 4

Probability: 95%

No, the Apple Watch Series 4 will not be round. However, the new watch will have rounded corners of the screen.

The screen of the new product will increase by 35% for the 42 mm version and by 38% for the 38 mm watch. This will be the main innovation of the device, because of which the old Apple Watch will be replaced.

Rather, their body will also become more rounded, the side button will be recessed into the body (perhaps it will be touch-sensitive, as in the iPhone 7 and 8), and the microphone will be located under the Digital Crown.

This is what the new exclusive watch face for Apple Watch Series 4 might look like

In the renderings, the Apple Watch Series 4 seems thinner than its predecessors, but we will find out the exact information on this matter on September 12.

Personally, I'm most interested in strap compatibility: I hope they didn't change the mount and the old ones will fit the new watch.

AirPower wireless charging station

Probability: 95%

Still from the AirPower presentation in 2017

Apple introduced AirPower along with the iPhone 8 (Plus) and iPhone X in September 2017. Then the company's new smartphones featured wireless charger according to the Qi standard, so we were waiting for such a device.

However, the company announces sales of the device only on September 12, 2018. This is the famous reporter Mark Gurman.

Apple planned to launch sales of the device back in June, but it had to be postponed due to technical difficulties.

AirPower is not just Qi wireless charging. It has a built-in operating system, which controls power and pairing.

Updated iPad Pro with edge-to-edge screen

Probability: 50%

New concept iPad Pro from Venya Geskin

Today my colleagues and I are inclined to believe that new iPad Pro will be presented to us on September 12 with a 50/50 chance.

There is a good chance that the company will want to pay more attention to the iPhone Xs (Plus), as well as the iPhone 9, on which big bets are being made.

iPad Pro will be an ideological continuation of the current 10.5-inch model. It will have an 11-inch screen with reduced bezels and, most likely, without a cutout for True Depth.

About dual camera and other additional features of the new product are not yet known. But it may have additional contact pads for connecting peripherals.

The new iPad Pro will surely work on upgraded version of the A12 processor and will become the most fast device On the market.

Redesigned MacBooks and MacBook Air

Probability: 25%

We are waiting from Apple new 12-inch MacBook, which has not yet been updated this year, as well as new Macs mini (not updated since 2014) and anniversary iMac (the line is 20 years old).

However, Apple is unlikely to consider these products a priority, so it may not devote time to them at the presentation.

And here is the updated one MacBook Air with a small probability, but may look into it.

Apple hasn't updated the MacBook Air since 2015. However, he has no plans to abandon this device.

According to Economic Daily News, the company will offer us an updated 13-inch MacBook Air with a price of up to $1 thousand.

He will work for Intel processors Core generation Kaby Lake and excellent suitable for students and other undemanding users.

Budget iPhone SE2 for developing countries

Probability: 20%

In early August, iPhone SE2 was found in Xcode 10. Most likely, this device will be an updated iPhone 7, which will be sold at a price no more $449 .
