NEW IPHONE TIME AGAIN
Apple has unveiled the latest iPhone – three iPhones, to be exact – at its Cupertino headquarters. The iPhone Xs, the iPhone Xs Max and the iPhone XR. This year’s event was mobile-device focused, with no new computer hardware announcements. The 5.8-inch iPhone Xs and 6.5-inch iPhone Xs Max both feature Super Retina displays, a faster and improved dual camera system and a seven-nanometer chip – the A12 Bionic chip with next-generation Neural Engine. The two phones also feature faster face ID, wider stereo sound and dual SIM capacity. The phones feature a 12-megapixel dual camera system with dual optical image stabilisation and 2x optical zoom. The phones’ new sensor claims twice the speed of previous versions.
Advanced depth segmentation in portrait mode enables better portraits with improved bokeh. New depth control allows users to dynamically adjust the depth-of- field in the Photos app both in a real time preview and post-capture. Portrait mode with depth control is also available on the TrueDepth camera for selfies, which includes Memoji and faster face tracking support for third-party ARKit apps. The phones’ Super Retina displays support Dolby Vision and HDR10, and have iOS system-wide colour management. The two phones claim a million-to-one contrast ratio and 60 percent greater dynamic range in HDR photos.
features a six-core fusion architecture – with two performance cores that are up to 15% faster than previous versions; four efficiency cores that are up to 50% more efficient; and a four-core GPU that is up to 50% faster. The phone also boasts an eight-core Neural Engine that can handle five trillion operations per second, compared to the A11 bionic processor’s 600 billion. The iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max feature splash and water resistance of IP68 for up to two metres for 30 minutes and protection against everyday spills. iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max will be available in 64GB, 256GB and 512GB capacity models in space grey, silver and a new gold finish, starting at $999 and $1,099 respectively.
