News from Apple - conference tomorrow!
September's biggest technological event is imminent. Tomorrow, September 12, Apple will show us its new devices. What will they actually be? No one is 100% sure, although the Internet is buzzing with leaks and rumors about the novelties. Even more sensational is the fact that it is not known what names the iPhones presented on Wednesday will bear. Below we have gathered information about the new devices from Apple.
According to leaks, all new iPhones will feature Face ID facial recognition and the iconic notch, while wide bezels and the Touch ID button have been definitely abandoned. Gestures are to be used to control the system, which, according to the manufacturer, are expected to make using the smartphone more convenient, faster and intuitive.
Since Apple is still keeping us in the dark about the naming, for the purposes of the article let's assume the nomenclature that has been proposed in the latest, most recent reports, i.e. iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Plus. The third device will be a budget model, with an LCD screen, whose name is likely to be the Xc.
The iPhone Xs will feature an OLED screen, measuring 5.8 inches, exactly like last year's iPhone Xs. The much larger iPhone Xs Plus will get a huge OLED display, measuring 6.5 inches. In addition, Apple will reportedly introduce a display mode similar to that of iPads, that is, the app in portrait mode is to be divided into two parts: one devoted to additional options related to app functions.
A new chip is expected to appear in both models, namely - the Apple A12 chip. This is to be the first processor to go into commercially available smartphones, made with 7nm technology. The new chip is expected to significantly "bounce back" from the competition, offering performance at the highest level. In addition, the iPhone Xs Plus and iPhone Xs will feature 3-4 GB of RAM and, depending on the version, 64, 256 or even 512 GB for files.
Much less interesting and noteworthy may be the budget version of the iPhone, which is expected to continue to run on the two-year-old A10 processor that debuted in the 7 and 7 Plus. In addition, users will get 3 GB of RAM and most likely, depending on the version, 64 GB or 256 GB for files, and the screen in this version is made with LCD technology and will be 6.1 inches.
According to rumors, the iPhone Xs is expected to look almost identical to last year's X. The Xs Plus, on the other hand, is simply expected to be larger, but is expected to retain the existing design. As for colors, three variants are suggested - white, space gray (star gray) and gold.
The new iPhones are immediately expected to run under the control of iOS 12, in which Apple seems to be betting on optimization and improved stability. The long-awaited sorting of notifications is also expected to be an important feature.
In terms of cameras, we should not set our sights on some big revolution. Among the rumors, there is only talk of minor camera improvements over previous models. Apple, however, has decided to improve charging, as the new devices will come with a charger of as much as 18W.

In addition to the new iPhones, we can expect the release of a new iPad Pro, devoid of the Touch ID button. According to rumors, two models will enter the market, which will have Face ID on board and will run on Apple's A12 processor. The first device will be 12.9 inches, while the second will be 11 inches diagonally.
Another proposition Apple will come out with is the new Apple Watch Series 4 with a larger display. This will be the first design change since its introduction. Leaks say that there will be two versions of the watch with similar dimensions, but with a 1.57-inch 1.78-inch envelope. It's also highly likely that we'll get a new version of AirPods headphones, which are expected to be, among other things, rainproof and work better with Siri. The presentation of the AirPower mat, which will allow users to afford simultaneous wireless charging of AirPods, Apple Watch and iPhone, could also be an important debut.
Will the latest devices from Apple actually be as rumored? What will their prices and specifications be? Will they meet the requirements of even the most demanding lovers of the company? We will find out tomorrow!
