The new function is valid ...John Brandon, editor of Inc.com, believes that these phones may be the last phones a user will need. He points out that the new Apple phone will have the screen at the edges, an OLED display, ie brighter and clearer, a faster processor, wireless charging, but also a price of around $ 1000.
Why does Brandon think the iPhone 8 might be the last phone Apple makes? One reason is that people will not have a good enough reason to upgrade because the new model is very fast and loads fast. He could call the problem "Honda" when people kept cars for too long because they didn't break down. The same reason is due to the decrease in iPhone sales last year.
Another reason given is the advancement of digital assistants. Amazon Echo, Google Home can do things that a phone can only do with voice commands. Do you want to call someone? You say to Echo, do you want to see what the weather is like? Ask Google Home etc.
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg believes smartphones are on the verge of extinction. He wants to give up phones, TVs and tablets, and he wants to replace them with a pair of smart glasses that could be controlled by the human brain.
The glasses will work with the human brain and project images directly onto the retina of the eye, according to a company announcement at the annual Facebook F8 conference.
US giant Apple will today launch the eighth generation of the iPhone, the smartphone that revolutionized the mobile phone industry ten years ago, in an event that will take place on the company's new campus, writes Bloomberg. Apple CEO Tim Cook will take to the stage today at the amphitheater named in memory of founder Steve Jobs at the new headquarters, marking a new chapter for the world's most valuable technology company. For the first time, Apple will launch three smartphones, one of which will be a premium model that will cost much more than the other two models in the range and maybe even more than the rest of the smartphones on the market. The new Apple smartphones will not only be an attraction for consumers, but also for investors. IPhones generate two-thirds of Apple's sales, which is critical for the company.The new iPhone models will be launched exactly during the peak sales period - the last quarter of the year, and the launch could also contribute to the increase in sales of other Apple products. Apple's entire business is based on iPhones - these are used to control the Apple TV set-top box and the upcoming HomePod speaker, and are also interconnected with Apple Watch smart watches and iPad tablets and Mac laptops. The US company also plans to launch a new version of the Apple Watch smartwatch that will be able to connect to wireless internet networks, as well as an improved version for the Apple TV set-top box.
What iPhone X looks like
Apple has prepared a series of surprises for fans for the jubilee edition that marks ten years since the launch of the first iPhone by Steve Jobs.
Thus, the iPhone X will be the top model that Apple will present, the X representing the past ten years. Most likely, CEO Tim Cook will present the new product.
It will have a 5.8-inch OLED screen, marking the transition of the American giant to screens of this type, after Samsung used this type of display for many years. OLED screens have the advantage of having more vivid colors and very black, and the pixels light up individually, so they can save battery power. In addition to the OLED screen, the iPhone X has another peculiarity: the screen extends over almost the entire front surface of the phone, except for a small area at the top, where the camera for selfies and sensors will be integrated. The applications will occupy the available space to the left and right of the sensor compartment.
The screen resolution will be 2,436 x 1,125 pixels, and the format will be 18.5: 9, similar to new models from Samsung. This is normal given that Samsung is the supplier of OLED screens for the iPhone X.
Farewell fingerprint sensor, welcome "Face ID"
The iPhone X will also mark the removal of the fingerprint sensor on the front of the smartphone, and the screen will occupy the bottom. Instead of the sensor, users will now use facial recognition to unlock the iPhone X, and the technology will be called Face ID.
For comparison, the Galaxy Note 8 already uses iris scanning, the same technology being introduced since last year, on the Note 7.
Removing the fingerprint sensor and replacing it with Face ID brings something else: the bottom of the screen will be replaced with a Touch Bar, similar to the one on MacBook Pro laptops.
6-core processor, the fastest ever made by Apple
In terms of technical features, the iPhone X will come with an A11 processor, made by Apple, according to TrustedReviews. It is based on big.LITTLE technology, developed by the British company ARM, now owned by the Japanese technology group SoftBank. The A11 processors will have six cores and will be made in the factories of the Taiwanese TSMC group.
For comparison, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, currently the products at the top of the Apple range, have A10 Fusion processors with four cores.
In terms of RAM, the iPhone X will have 3 GB available.
iPhone X will have wireless charging
iPhone X will have wireless charging, which suggests that its back will no longer be metallic, but glass, to be able to perform induction charging.
On the camera side, in the back will be a 12 megapixel camera capable of shooting in 4K format at 60 frames per second, and in Full HD format at 240 frames. In front there will be a 7 megapixel camera, which will be able to shoot at 1080p quality at 30 frames per second.
The operating system used is iOS 11, which will allow you to transfer money from one device to another via Apple Pay. The payment service will be integrated into the Power button on the side of the phone. A double click will be able to authenticate the payment, the transaction being secured by Face ID technology, facial identification. Pressing and holding the button will activate the Siri virtual assistant.
The price will start at $ 999, and the top version, with a larger storage capacity, will reach $ 1,200.
iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus
In terms of design, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus will look exactly like the current models, respectively iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. Specifically, they will still have a fingerprint sensor on the front, and the screen will not cover the entire surface.
The iPhone 8 will only have 2 GB of RAM, while the iPhone 8 Plus will also come with 3 GB of RAM. At the moment, the iPhone 7 still has 2 GB, and the iPhone 7 Plus also has 3 GB, so nothing seems to be changing at the moment, as 9to5mac shows.
These models are rather evolutions of the current range, without the revolution that the iPhone X entails.
A new generation of AirPods headphones
However, we will have a new generation of wireless AirPods. Their image was captured in iOS 11.
